BET 0.5 Delays
I know many of you were excited for a Halloween update and I apologize. That being said, an update should be going live to the Beta branch in the next hour and I will post another announcement once it's live. Expect lots of bugs. Sorry again and I hope you all understand.
Edit: We have pushed back the official release time for this update to November 1, 2023 9:00 PM EST. This gives up time to give this update the last coat of polish it needs. Very sorry again. And also, happy Halloween
Massive Update Releasing on Halloween!!
As the title states, we are releasing our much anticipated "huge" update on October 31st, Halloween Day. Thank you everyone for your patience as we have long eclipsed our target dates. During this 4 month period, we've rewritten, overhauled, and refactored almost all of our core systems in the project. A TON of work has been put in to make the future development of BET faster and higher quality. We've effectively planted the seeds for BET to blossom into the most realistic survival horror experience on the market.
All of this backend work means unfortunately this update is systems heavy rather than content heavy. This doesn't mean that there is no content though, because as promised, this is our biggest update yet. We could've kept the update in the oven a little longer to put the exclamation mark on new content, but we believe a "Part 2" is more appropriate than making everyone wait two more months.
What's Coming On Halloween
- Level !
- Level 37
- Level 0 Overhaul (Plus a Brand New Subsection)
- Minor Level 1 Overhaul
- Skin Stealer Overhaul
- Minor Environmental Changes to Level 2 and 4
- Inventory System (Tarkov Style Jigsaw Inventory)
- Equipment System (Will be beta for this update :) )
- Sanity System
- Camera Overhaul (Zooming also!)
- New Item/Looting Mechanic (Tons of new items to help you survive!)
- Jumping
- Fall Damage Mechanic
- Performance Improvements
- Sprint Tweaks
- Remappable Controls
- Huge Multiplayer Improvements (Client Jitters/Lag)
(As a last remark, this is probably the longest amount of time BET will go without an update due to our focus on backend work this past summer. From this update on, its full steam ahead for content!)
Teasing Our Biggest Update Yet and Announcing New Playtesting Positions
We've been super busy here working on lots of exciting things! We have two levels in the works that are close to done and we have been investing a ton of resources into our infrastructure to help accelerate development by a significant margin. So where are the updates?
For this next update, we want it to be a big one. Unfortunately, that's going to mean holding back some content for a bit. We hope this next update changes the way the game is played significantly. So for a little teaser, here are some planned features that will make their way into this next update:
- Multiple New Levels
- Inventory/Sanity System
- Branching Paths
- Revamps to Old Levels
- Various Quality of Life Improvements
As a final note, we have never released an update as big as the one we are planning to release and will need to expand our internal testing so the update does come out as a buggy, boring mess. That being said, I wanted to announce our new volunteer playtester job openings. If you have experience in QA, or are just passionate about BET and want to work with the core team, please fill out an application here!
This update will take multiple weeks until it's complete but we promise it will be well worth the wait, here are some teaser images to hold you all over!
