  Co-op Is Coming to Early Access

So we're making it official: co-op is confirmed for the Early Access launch, not a post-launch add-on, not a "we'll see." It's there on day one.More details will be released in coming days, including the schedule for the co-op beta. Stay tuned, don't forget to follow our Steam page for latest news, follow us on X, and sign up for our newsletter.-ODS Team

  CBT Results Are In: Here's What's Next

  Survivors,The Closed Beta gave us the largest pile of player feedback in the game's history. We've now finished working through the survey responses, videos, streams, Discord, and Steam comments, and as promised, we want to share the results with the people who created them: you.Whether you fought your first zombie this beta or you've been breaking our builds since Pre-Alpha, we thank you. A test at this scale tells us things no internal playtest ever could, and every one of these numbers exists because you took the time to answer honestly.A special shout-out goes to our Core Group testers. The candid, detailed feedback you gave us between tests drove many of the changes that made these Closed Beta results possible — thank you for helping us get here. •   67,000+ players took part in the Closed Beta!•   30% of the players were from the USA, 11% from Germany, and 7% from the UK—home of Birmingham!•   1,412 peak concurrent players without co-op!•   Sign-ups came from all seven continents. Yes, that includes Antarctica!•   2,698 survey responses were completed. 2,345 by first-timers, 353 from veterans of earlier tests!•   99% of respondents wanted to be invited back! On top of that, an enormous amount of YouTube and Twitch coverage brought the game to audiences far beyond our own channels ever could. We've collected some of our favorite videos and streams at the end of this post. They deserve your views. Do Players See Our Vision and Like It?Every survey we run asks you to grade the game from 0 to 10 across the same set of categories, which lets us track progress test over test. When we asked how much fun the game is overall, we leaped to our highest score yet. It wasn't just fun. When asked whether “Medieval Zombie Survival Simulator with Physics” describes the game you actually played, you gave us an 8.61 with 57% of you rating it a 9 or 10. And after playing, 70% of you said your expectations for the game went up, while only 4% said they dropped. The vision and the ...

  Thanks for an Amazing Beta Test!

  Survivors,  Hard to believe, but it’s already been more than 10 days since our first public beta test wrapped up. We’ve run several tests before with a passionate group of early testers, but this was our first time opening the game to everyone without an NDA. Safe to say, the team was both excited and pretty nervous. Once we started reading through all the thoughtful feedback, we felt a huge sense of relief. At the same time, it reminded us how much we want to deliver something great and make sure we don’t let you down at launch. We received a ton of feedback through the survey, Discord, social channels, and the Steam Community. While we couldn’t respond to every comment individually, please know that we read everything you shared. To be honest, we received a lot more feedback than we expected, so it’s taking us a bit of time to thoroughly review everything, align as a team, and determine our development priorities, future playtests, and release schedule.Once we have a clearer plan, we’ll share more in a future dev log. Since that is taking a bit longer than expected, we wanted to check in, say thank you, and let you know that your feedback is already helping us make better decisions for the game. Thank you for helping make our first public beta test such a meaningful milestone. We truly appreciate all of your feedback--both positive and critical--as well as your bug reports and words of encouragement. We’ll be back soon with more details about what’s next for God Save Birmingham. Until then, please keep sharing your feedback, questions, and anything else you’d like to talk about with us on Discord and the Steam Community. We’ve also seen many of you asking about the next test. If you don’t want to miss it, please follow our Steam Community and subscribe to our email updates from our website! Until next time!-ODS Team
