14 Dec Penny Blood: Hellbound Closed Beta Begins
Penny Blood Hellbound is live NOW!
This is a special update to focus on the Penny Blood: Hellbound Closed Backer Beta launch. First off, thank you to everyone who has joined us for the closed Beta. You will be able to purchase the Closed Beta up until the game launches into Early Access. When it does, anyone who purchased the Closed Beta will continue to be able to play the game so you are really just getting to participate at an earlier point in development at a cheaper price point and will receive the exclusive Closed Beta Backer emblem.
DO stream the game as much as you want. There will be some minor bugs but in general most of the core features are in the game and we feel it can only help! Feel free to stream in one of the voice channels on the official discord as well!
DON’T worry if you feel the game is hard. It’s a roguelike which means you will die a lot but with each new run you will be able to buy upgrades that help you to get further and further along in the game.
DO provide any feedback that you can via the google form or discord forum. Your feedback will help us make a better game. Trying to find the perfect meta loop for when to unlock things versus when to rely on player skill is always a delicate balance and your feedback is essential.
DON’T worry if you see bugs or certain features that don’t feel great. We are constantly iterating on the design to make the gameplay experience the best it can be.
DO show us your blood-surfing skills. It’s a fun mechanic that can make you feel pretty cool when you nail the timing.
