Bossa Labs Pre-Alpha Playtest Build #11 - 5th December - 10th December

‘The Most Wonderful Time Playtest of the Year!’’

For a lot of people opening their advent calendars in December is a highlight. Imagine then, if instead of a calorific treat you instead found an exclusive invite to the next Bossa Labs playtest. Well, surprise! Christmas has indeed come early for that’s exactly what we’re giving you! This year has been a huge success for Bossa Labs and what better way to round off the decade than have one final playtest in 2019. 

Instead of the tutorial level we’ve now got a prologue sequence or ‘suite’ of levels which will teach you the basics of Labs in a more contextual fashion. While these are still a work in progress (as most things are) they are forming the foundation of what will be the campaign for Labs in the future.

For you creators out there we also have a splattering of new features to the Creation Mode too! We’ve got creation manuals added to the catalogue (TAB), new gameplay props and refined level rules - allowing you to set up bespoke win (and lose) conditions for your creations.

Major Changes

 Prologue Suite Added - This replaces the original tutorial level with a sequence of three unique experiences designed by Nate to ease you gently into the world of Labs..
 Level Queuing - Does what it says on the tin, you can now queue up multiple levels for consecutive play.
 Creator Manuals Added - Found in the Catalogue (TAB) in Creation Mode. These act as tutorials for voxel manipulation, circuit mode and other things.
 Network Improvements -  Increased stability when connecting with other players upon successful matchmaking.
 Level Rules Revamp - We’ve added more options for you to create flexible win/loss conditions for your levels.
 New Gameplay Props - Too many to mention individually - Trigger Volume, Comparison Operator, Fuse Box/Fuse, Adrenaline Syringe and….Updated Broom (yes!)
 Syringe Changes - Syringes now work over time by holding them against/in a patient.
 Mouse Sensitivity - You asked for it, and here it is!
