Hello there Countryball fans,
time for an update!

Recently, some of you asked us about the current state of the project, what’s the current progress, what kinds of stuff are we working on, what’s the roadmap of the game, when we’ll release the game, and so on.

So let’s get started.

A Brand new Faction Theme Music + Faction city view for your enjoyment:




1. What’s the current progress of the game? What’s coming in the next build?

- Our programmer currently is working on SI (Enemy hero acting like a player)
- I’m making Unity magic (Making Countryballs animations to work as a unit)
- Our graphic designer is working on brand new stuff like New Balls, Spells, world assets

This means, 4 new factions soon will be ready to rock:
UK/ China/Ger/ Poland B




Alpha based feedback
95% of your feedback has been already implemented, missing just a bit of visual polish.
95% of Bugs have been fixed
So things like Pathfinding, Animation speed, disable/enable dialogs and many more are already in the testing build!

No Mac build is not ready yet ( will be before release ^.^)



Once again, thank you so much for your Alpha Feedback!
Together we can make Countryballs great again!

To sum up:
- Brand new factions are almost ready to rock
- Alpha based feedback has been implemented
- We'll let you know when the new build will be up on a beta branch
- Detailed changelog will be available during patch day

1.1 Sneak peek at what’s coming in Pre-beta patch 2:
- Hero Player SI
- Interactive Tutorial
- Save/Load system
- Music mixer (SFX)
- Brand new spells
- Brand new talents
- Brand new passive abilities.

2. Roadmap & release date.

I. Pre-beta patch 1 (March 2021) - we are here
II. Pre-beta patch 2 (Later March/ Early April 2021)
III. Closed Beta (April - May 2021)
IV. Steam Demo ( May 2021 )

Take it with a bit of salt, we’re not sticking to those terms like glue – it might be a bit earlier/later. 😉
No rush, let’s make the best Countryball game in the history of Countryballs.

Ps. It would be awesome if you also could:

Updated the main menu to link to our Twitch stream starting at 4pm ET! https://www.twitch.tv/rushdownrevolt

Added a Help menu and a World Map Room located at Falcon Flight Control. Also added three game modes, easy, normal, and hard.

We have reviewed our game and decided to do some updates for it. We plan on releasing the updates in the near future. For now, here is an image of what is going on so far. Oh and so you know, those spike blocks move unlike the current version. Levels are longer, interesting and challenging.
