You played, we collected your feedback! What are the results?
Hello, Mythbusters!
The playtests ended some time ago and we’ve been collecting your feedback! Thank you so much for your participation and engagement – all your remarks and suggestions are extremely valuable to us. So, what are the results?
A lot of you took part in the playtest, we were astounded! The overall score is 4 out of 5 stars, or 80%, or 8/10 if you prefer these scoring systems. Most of you rated the gameplay, graphics and music 4/5, and the performance and atmosphere 5/5. That’s great results!
What you seem to have liked most are the blueprint minigames, exploring the mechanics and tools at your disposal, the detailed interior of the workshop, and so on.
You liked the fact that you are involved in the myth from beginning to end, starting with the concept, creating all the necessary parts and ending with testing the myth out and creating an episode.
You were also thrilled with the customization elements, where you could use the parts you chose for the construction of tools and elements.
What did you think could be improved? You had some suggestions regarding for example the tutorial and camera control, and we’ve jotted down all of them. They were all valid notes!
All in all, you really enjoyed the spirit of MythBusters in our game. You liked the atmosphere inside the workshop and being creatively engaged in all stages of the myth testing. You noted the realism of items and tools, and the details in the shop. You’d like background music to be added and to limit the number of screws and nails you need to hammer in 😁
Thank you so much for your participation and your feedback, none of it would be possible without you! Wishlist the full game, if you haven’t already, and…
See ya later!

We’re on the Future Games Show!
Greetings, science fans!
We have the absolute pleasure to inform you that our game just participated in Future Games Show, one of the greatest shows on the planet! We showed a bit of gameplay, and we hope you liked it!
We are getting closer to the launch time and it won’t be long now until we reveal the release date. The entire team is grateful for your warm and continued support. We’ve prepared some great stuff that will precede the premiere. For example, we have tons of behind-the-scenes where you’ll join the folks of Byte Barrel as they talk about the production of the game.
If you saw us at Future Games Show and came here just now, please add our game to your wishlist. This helps indie devs a lot. Also, you can catch news about MythBusters: The Game on our Twitter.
And one last thing, we’d like to congratulate our pals, the devs of Alaskan Truck Simulator and Food Truck Empire, on their appearances at the FGS. We can’t wait to play your games!
Cheers, and until next time!

Become a street food tycoon in Food Truck Empire!
Ever wanted to become a businessman? A cook? Or maybe a designer? Now you can be all three at once! Our publisher, Movie Games, has announced a new upcoming game – Food Truck Empire.
[previewyoutube="DYFyKPP_N6Y;full"] What’s the game about?
Become the ultimate food truck tycoon. Create your fleet, manage menus, optimize your mobile kitchens and conquer the streets. From cheap burgers to gourmet masterpieces. From shady alleys to posh neighbourhoods. Find your customers, fill their bellies and build your Food Truck Empire!
We bet you would like to know we’re currently fixing bugs and polishing the game. One very interesting thing we do is testing and improving our physics engine!
Obviously, we want Mythbusters: The Game to be as lifelike as possible, and that includes realistic physics in-game. If you blow something up, the blast radius must be adequate to the explosive. If you send the poor Buster flying, he has to fly a correct distance, and so on.
See some clips from our tests:
We’re testing the engine empirically, meaning we add 50 balloons to the chair, play, and see how that will look like. We tape a rocket to a car and see how far it will fly (if at all). Then we take the results, compare them with reality and improve what’s left to be improved. It’s a lot of work but also a lot of fun.
