To our wonderful Agents: Biohunters community, We. Are. Back!


As promised, we have been putting in all of our love and hard work into developing the features that YOU want in the game. We, Playstark: the developers of Agents: Biohunters, are giving it our best and more to make Agents: Biohunters the game of your dreams.


We would like to take a moment to appreciate every single person within our community for sticking by us — even when the reviews and general opinion of the game haven't been in our favor. We love you. Your unwavering support is what keeps us going. So: thank you.

Before we get all teary-eyed —

• SQUADS: Play with your friends (Yeah — finally!) by clicking on the 'squad' icon next to your profile picture, or by opening the Steam overlay in the Main Menu with 'SHIFT + TAB'.
  
• SETTINGS: Modify your graphics quality, monitor and screen resolution, sound, and mouse sensitivity — with more to come soon.
  
• MATCH MENU: Press 'ESC' while in-game. There, you will see your Agent's skills, controls, the settings menu, and the option to exit the match.
  
• VIDEO TUTORIAL: Upon your first login, you will see a short video tutorial showing you how to play. This is the first step to a full tutorial that we have in the making.
  
• IN-GAME CHAT: The first of our communication initiatives: you will be able to chat with your squad members, your allies, and your enemies.

(Upcoming fixes! - First imminent Update - Next week):

• Founders Pack rewards will be assigned to their owners! Thanks a lot for your patience and continued support! <3
  
• All players have will be rewarded with the exclusive Rido "Connected to Master" skin and " Chimera server" motorbike.
  
• Gameplay bugs related to the match experience, we have a backlog of quick fixes that will ensure the experience.

Notice: These are the features we mentioned in our previous announcement — and we have delivered on all fronts!


If you're not already aware: we have a community Trello board where you can see the progress that we are making as well as where the game is heading. If you see something there that you don't like, or you think something else should take priority, or you have something new to suggest, please — let us know!

<https://trello.com/b/8q4WUzM5/agents-biohunters-feature-roadmap>

Our focus at the moment? Look no further:

• Multy-regional Servers
  
• Third-person shooter improvements
  
• Gameplay improvements
  
• General Optimisation Improvements
  
• Ping & Ally Communication System
  
• Competitive Matches
  
• Daily Missions
  
• & More!

To fulfill our ambitions for the game, as well as yours, we are always looking for ways that you can support us in the development process. One way, of course, is financial. We are a small team with big dreams: any generous contributions you make through either the Founders Packs (https://www.agentsbiohunters.com/shop-en) or the in-game shop will be wholesomely appreciated & will be reinvested back into the game.


Many of our players have discussed the importance of keeping everyone in our community connected. We have tried, under one platform: Discord. Now, we know that some of you are not too keen on joining another Discord server. Heck, everyone and their grandma probably have a Discord server lying around somewhere. We do know that it can be tedious. But, we promise not to spam you with unimportant announcements! Our Discord server is always a welcoming and comforting place for everyone in our community; no matter who you are.

[discord.gg]All in all, this is an exciting time for Agents: Biohunters. Let's all play again, together!

Thank you.
— With love, The Playstark Team.

Agents!

It's time — the re-launch is coming! Agents: Biohunters will be back. WE ARE GOING LIVE!

5th of June at 10:00 UTC

You will now be able to: play with your friends, modify your settings, have nice things to say to your teammates through the in-game chat function, watch tutorial videos if you get stuck, and much more.

Of course, there's also the usual biohunting shenanigans that you're used to, which have been made better with this update! :O

• SQUADS: Play with your friends (Yeah — finally!) by clicking on the 'squad' icon next to your profile picture, or by opening the Steam overlay in the Main Menu with 'SHIFT + TAB'.
  
• SETTINGS: Modify your graphics quality, monitor and screen resolution, sound, and mouse sensitivity — with more to come soon.
  
• MATCH MENU: Press 'ESC' while in-game. There, you will see your Agent's skills, controls, the settings menu, and the option to exit the match.
  
• VIDEO TUTORIAL: Upon your first login, you will see a short video tutorial showing you how to play. This is the first step to a full tutorial that we have in the making.
  
• IN-GAME CHAT: The first of our communication initiatives: you will be able to chat with your squad members, your allies, and your enemies.
  
• MULTI-REGIONAL SERVERS: We have made our systems multi-regional so that you can benefit from a smooth online experience, wherever you are! Currently, there are 3 regions (America, Asia, and Europe), with more to be added in the future.

In case you missed it, we ran a few playtests on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 30th of May.

These were announced on our Discord server. If you'd like to playtest features before they are officially released, or if you want to be a part of the central communication hub for our community, then join our Discord server!

<https://discord.com/invite/DfrTWGh>

Moving ahead with development, these playtests will be crucial in determining the quality of what we're rolling-out into the game — by participating and reporting any issues you find, you will be helping us incredibly!

[discord.com]See you tomorrow, on the 5th of June at 10:00 UTC!

Stay safe.

Dear Agents community,

We are announcing a new step in our production. We have collected all your feedback, suggestions and bugs reported. In order to implement our next plan, we need a bit of time.


When we return in early May the game will include the following list of features:

• Matchmaking fixes (reducing queuing time)
  
• Basic Settings (Video, Audio, Mouse sensibility)
  
• Play with Friends
  
• Tutorial & Match guides
  
• Exit game (Surrender)
  
• Pending rewards giveaway (Founders and Beta)
  
• In-game Chat (tentative)

To get a better view of our priorities and to visualize our shift in focus, please visit our game's Trello board: https://trello.com/b/8q4WUzM5/agents-biohunters-feature-roadmap

Our initial launch on the 7th of April was not as smooth as we would have hoped. We ran into several issues with our multiplayer matchmaking system; and a known lack of prerequisite features, such as settings, play with friends, and a basic tutorial. For this same reason, we have diverted all of our efforts into resolving these areas.

We have decided to temporarily shut down our servers for a few weeks while we implement what we all considered to be the minimum required features for a game of this nature. This decision carries the best intentions as we owe it to the players of our game so that they can enjoy an amazing gaming experience.

Thank you, everyone, for your feedback and participation. Early Access can be a rough time for many developers but, with your support, we will not falter. We value your opinion - we always have. We fix the issues that arise, and we implement the features that you suggest.

See you in early May; when we will have fulfilled our commitment to you all!

We care. Thank you, Agents! Dearly. We're beyond excited for the future.

A new phase begins, the Early Access starts now! Please read ahead and don't miss a thing!

Let's all play, together!

- Playstark Team, your friendly developer team.

The servers have been disconnected. You should be seeing a Steam update anytime soon; this is to ensure that the servers are closed for everyone - marking the end of this Closed Beta.

With the end of the Closed Beta we, at Playstark, would like to thank everyone who had participated. Testing the game out, playing a match, or even engaging in the discussions on Discord, it means a whole lot to us. Thank you, again, for being here and sharing the same passion for the game.

All of your feedback is being collected and treated with care. With this feedback, we will know where to place our priorities in the future to improve your Biohunting experience.

For specific feedback on your experience, we have designed a Beta survey. By taking +5 minutes to complete this survey, you will receive two EXCLUSIVE in-game rewards:

Fill the Survey -> {LINK REMOVIDO}http://bit.ly/2uQ9HKP

Chimera Motorbike + Rido's 'Connected to Master' Skin
(Both of which you will receive upon Early Access release)
