Hello everyone,
A bit of a late update here. We felt somewhat like the picture above after the Kickstarter and needed a few days of rest before we got back into the swing of things at the office. But it’s Monday now, and our first day back at work with the whole team. I just wanted to do a small update letting you know what the status is of the rewards and where we are focusing our efforts, so let’s begin!
First off, we will start contacting everyone who backed via Kickstarter or the email associated with the PayPal account that you backed us from. We will ask you for additional information that we need to deliver the rewards.
Here’s a status on where we are with some of the rewards:
BattleRite Beta - We will send out keys to your emails before September the 20th.
T-Shirts - We are currently working on improving the design, and should have a final version that DesignByHumans can start printing by next week. We will contact you for sizes and addresses.
Poster - Some iterations are needed to ensure quality before printing. Size-wise we are looking at something between A1 and A0 format.
Limited edition Diabotical Statue - This may take up to 6 months, we are having a back and forth about some details before it goes into production.
Comic book - We have a basic storyboard, but like the statue it will take some time.
Making of Diabotical, art and story book - As we concept up more of the game over this year, this will start taking shape at a similar speed as the comic book.
Esport EXP Rewards - I will start contacting the personalities about their schedules up till December. Then, contact the backers about potential best times to join up with them for some gaming.
There are of course more rewards to deliver than what I listed above, but we will start contacting backers about those too!
Closed Beta Access - There is still no estimated time of arrival on this, but let me give you some information on what we are working on at the moment.
The Game - We will be putting up a development blog soon on our site, and we’ll continue with Twitch stream updates when we have something good to show or need feedback as we move forward. Currently the three biggest game development tasks to tackle are:
• Polishing the multi-user map editor - This will be our top priority over the next month or so.
• Creating 2 new weapons - This should take a month and we’ll feature them in our new update.
• Polishing current game modes and creating new ones - We hope to show more and more gameplay as we get closer to the beta phase.
Of course there is a lot more going on than just this, but these are some milestones we hope to hit short term, which will help us focus on pulling together the product and getting the game ready for the closed beta and in your hands!
Again, thank you all for backing Diabotical. Feel free to private message us on the Kickstarter page, r/diabotical, [email protected], or talk to us on Discord @ chat.diabotical.com.
