the reason the servers worked so well day 1 is because of how much thorough play testing there was. patreon backers got access to the playtest build and OkiDoki would run tests almost every day. I think at one point they even tested a 512 or 1024 player server, just to see what would happen

It's success comes down to being driven creatively by the dev team and not by corporate interest and market data.

AAA companies will never replicate the feel of game like this and it really shows, support indie dev's folks!

[@kinnexion]

This!

[@Soliye.]

Exactly, I don't care about the 8 polygons characters, the game is ultimately fun (like games are meant to be). You can tell it was made with passion and dedication. There might not be a whole lot, but each and every pixel in that game was made with love. AAA companies might never be able to replicate indie games in that way, but I know they can do great stuff because I've played Bungie's Halo games. Little Big Planet and so on. We just need people like these 3 at the head of a studio that isn't told "Focus on the in game Shop, produce X amount of $60 DLC, meet the media's criteria. I mean, have you noticed there's zero female in Battlebit? No one gives a damn cuz that is NOT what gamers care about, but somehow these very futile subjects take more place at the board of AAA companies than rather or not the game is good and polished. Because while Microsoft is looking to hire someone to make the most f'd up addictive cash grab, we got these guys making sure the gameplay feels satisfying.

[@youngderp450]

The moment the devs realized the game was not performing well during the numerous alpha/beta tests they brought it down, doing hour test here hour test there until it was where they wanted it. I think that helped so much in its launch being so smooth and is a shining example what AAA devs SHOULD be doing but refuse to.

[@bashergamer_]

I played the play test a while before the full release, these few weeks were the most fun I’ve had in an FPS since a long time man. Everybody’s (save for some people) just focused on having fun and not on winning or losing. When you die in this game it makes you go “aw shucks, I died.” Instead of having to take out your rage on your keyboard, and that’s because the experience itself is fun! Nobody really criticizes you for being bad at the game, because they’re just so absorbed in the fun. And for some reason this game makes healing people fun, after a while you start healing anybody you see even if you’re not a medic. Although I can’t afford to buy the game due to certain circumstances I have, maybe someday I can, hopefully. But, for now, it is what it is and I still hope that the community never changes.

I had subbed to their patreon about two or so months ago had been following the build for about a year before then and the work they put in before the launch was INSANE, Not just that they are the most crystal clear dev team ever, saying what it costs to run servers the issues they have why the prices are the way they are. So on and so forth, they had stresses testing to the max before the launch and it payed off so SO well this is easily becoming my top fave game its so fun so smooth, kills feel rewarding etc. Even 4 days after launch this game has almsot 45k people playing. ON A MONDAY thats insane this game is awesome thank you for show casing it Drewski!

[@arsnakehert]

Enemies being able to listen to you is SO cool I was playing in some rainy field map in a 200+ player match, and as I told a teammate at a nearly empty objective that I would be going up this building, I readied my grappling hook to go to the top of the building from the outside, while the teammate started running up the stairs... and got killed by this guy who ambushed him at the stairs as he heard me talking. This enemy guy then shouted, quoting Captain Nascimento in the Brazilian movie Elite Squad in words and tone: "nobody's going up" At this point I was at the top of the building, and I struggled to keep quiet after I heard him, and finally snuck into the stairs tower, catching him from behind with my pistol (I was a sniper) as he built some sandbags, and maniacally laughing at this point. In the midst of laughter I said "what did you say again?" and he laughed his ass off "c'mon, man, I had no idea you'd be coming _down_ towards me", I couldn't stop laughing HAHAHAHAH

Did some quick math with the peak being 73k players today, if 73k people played and its $15, they made $1,104,834 USD, -30% from steam which is $331,461. So if the developers split it equally, in the past week they each have made around $257,791. Fuckin good for them Update: 24hrs later there's 83k players on now.

Well they only get paid when someone buys the game, so active playerbase doesn't tell you how much they really made. In total sales, as of like 5 days ago when I last read about the game, they had made around $30,000,000 in sales. Of course, server costs are large and other expenses, but spread amongst the 3 of them, it ranges somewhere in the 6-7 million per dev so far. Just unreal, but totally deserved, I genuinely haven't had as much fun with a multiplayer FPS game since CSGO went free 😂😂😂

This'll sound weird, but this game gives me the vibes of Battlefield 2 - remember back to BF2 and the raw excitement that game had that was somehow never quite the same in the following BF games. I truly think that the constant striving for 'realism' took the balance the other way and spoiled things a bit. The frenetic energy of this game is far more welcome.

I picked this up, and have spent about 15 hours in it so far…. I’m not huge into multiplayer games anymore but this one piqued my interest. The destructible environment is so freaking cool.

I played the stress tests a lot, and the developers communicated a lot with us on discord, we have a big Brazilian Clan they always said hi and asked our opinion, they said it was too complicated to add momentums to the heli, I thought he would have fixed it by now. but anyway the game is a lot of fun. And the developers really care about the quality and opinion of the players. and he only launched the server with such quality because it was something he really wanted, it took many weeks of stress testing to launch.

This is peak reconstructionism. Modern games are getting too complex with loads of mechanics that are supposed to entertain the players. However, big companies often got lost along the way and ended up with chuncky games that are simply not fun anymore. At this moment, Battlebit devs reconsidered the essentials that make Battlefied FUN, and merged all the good stuff into a tiny and simple game. Result? Huge success! Well done!

[@perryborn2777]

Was playing with my buddy earlier, we had captured a building and knocked out the staircase, replacing it with a rope. Totally fortified the roof, got a big supply drop straight on top and rained hell on the streets below Eventually an enemy heli caught onto us and started strafing runs, but none of us had rocket launchers, so anytime it would come by we'd all just light it up with our machine guns. Eventually someone took out the pilot, and the bird crashed into the adjacent building. Shortly after that the game ended, but the sense of teamwork I had there is something I haven't felt since my days as a gunner in Planetside 2

Took the plunge yesterday... and the moment I set foot in the tutorial, I knew it was something special. The movement feels on point; like you have a body with real weight to it, but you're agile enough to climb over things, crawl through things, without getting stuck on scenery or wrestling with controls. The weapon animations are really good, especially considering your hands are blocks, the sounds are solid, and the visuals aren't just simple - they're perfectly calibrated. Everything looks clear and logical. And once you get into a match, it's an absolute blast. It's everything that was ever good about the Battlefield series, including the hilarious "let's just flatten the building" tactics of Bad Company 2, but it runs smooth as glass, costs next to nothing, and doesn't demand that you sell your soul to EA.

A lot of it reminds me of phantom forces, a game on roblox that some may know. But just a way bigger scale with a lot more added. Something I really like is how there seems to be some attention going towards trying to at least keep things somewhat tame, with the things you have to agree to like not saying hate speech or being too crazy offensive. I've seen quite a few people getting banned for it which means a lot to me and helps set it apart from an xbox COD lobby where you have people yelling slurs at each other and tryharding. People are just genuinely able to enjoy the game and still be goofy or roleplay instead of being pulled down or pushed away by the angry people who are playing to be abusive towards others so they can feel better about themselves.
