Previous betas required you to have a beta key in order to get access to the game. This time around we are going to be using the Steam Playtest. This is a new feature added to Steam in 2021 that allows us to create a Playtest button on our current Steam page allowing people to easily apply to the Beta and for us to manage access.
With this process, we have to submit a build and then get that build approved by Steam. It's not a hard process, you just need to check off some boxes and the first application can take some time, we should be well within that time window. This means that, currently, we do not have a Playtest button but we should have one before the test.
This means you will not need a beta key anymore! If for some reason we do not get accepted to the Steam Playtest, we will open up the keybot again but this is unlikely.
Beta Summary
This beta will take place on our maps Sumersgate and Stafburg. Sumersgate has been given a detail pass with bug fixes. Stafburg is nearly identical to our Technical Beta in December except for bug fixes. We have entirely new custom player models.
Replay System
The replay system gets a category of its own because of how much work we have put into it!
To record a replay you must hit the Start Recording keybind and then the Stop Recording keybind (check the keybinds!).
The replays are saved locally and can be transferred from one user to another via file transfer. The replays will remain on your computer and available for you to go back and watch even after the Beta closes. We have various spectator controls to hide UI, etc. This is how we filmed our trailers, you will also have access to these to record footage from the replay recordings.
BattleBit Remastered Playtest - Deathwing The Boss
Hey everyone!
I would first like to thank you all for your support during playtest. As BBR staff, we have never expected this level of interest in our game. This made it a hard week for us as we attempted to keep up with everything that was going on.
Nevertheless, thanks to the efforts of our community moderators, as well as our community in general. We had a very productive playtest. We gathered data from the gameplay, we noted player suggestions and feedback, both negative and positive. Please be advised that during this playtest, as a method of stress testing, all the servers and gamemodes were tested at full capacity. (i.e. 127v127)
We are aware that some features were added what I can describe as, haphazardly. This meant that some features during gameplay (like killcam) were less enjoyable than we wanted and expected. We received lots of requests to tone down the screen shake as well.
Again, thank you all for your feedback. For now, we have shutdown the playtest servers and are going to be hard at work improving the game. There are important features to add, bugs to fix and coffee to drink.
We are planning for another, free, playtest in late February, looking for your feedback with our improved gameplay and features as a whole. We cannot say whether or not this playtest will be our last, but we can assure you that we're planning to release BBR into Steam Early Access in 2022.
Other than public playtests, we are also planning to continue having closed beta tests with a small group of players, all details for these closed testing days will be made available on Discord.
See you all soon!
