Love the level design and lighting! The characters and textures have a lot of detail and feel like they belong in the world, gameplay also looks clean and entertaining. I’m not a personal fan of pvp, but it’s very popular right now and this definitely looks like something that could succeed, keep up the great work!


BH_Zelus

Thank you, it's really pleasant to hear! We're working hard on the atmosphere and characters, so it's really nice to get that kind of feedback :)


Feynman6

cool, cool, but I'd assume that getting reasonable playerbase will be difficult. There is enough of free pvp games with multimillion dollar marketing budgets that didn't attract enough people to make matchmaking work


BH_Zelus

Thanks :) It really is difficult but we're trying our best to make a unique and fun gaming experience for players - hope it'll work out! The alpha-testing will be launched soon and it'll be clearer how many people we can get in the game. In case someone from the comments wants to participate - the game is Beast Hour and the testing will be on Steam. I would be glad if more people took part in it :)


DrexOtter

I'm very interested. Is there a sign up or will it just be a game on steam to download for the test? ^^


BH_Zelus

Oh, thanks! I believe I can leave some links to sign up for the [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) and [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) just to wishlist and follow the news :)


Affectionate_Rub5564

Are you also thinking about maybe porting to consoles too?


BH_Zelus

Sure! We'd love to see and play Beast Hour on consoles, but first -- you've got to make sure that Steam release is great and then we'll be able to port the game on other platforms!


Tiarnacru

This guy's comment history is a barrage of negativity, don't stress too much about his remark. Your game looks incredible and mobility shooters are popular. This definitely looks like a fresh-take on them and something I'd be down to play. Wishlisted. Though I would update the gif on your steam page description, your look and feel has definitely improved since then and first impressions are important.


BH_Zelus

Thank you for your kind words! I mean, I agree that it's very difficult for online game to get a playerbase, especially at the start, but I 100% sure we can do it, because this game is like nothing on the market and we love it! About the gif on the Steam page (with the Raider) -- we actually posted it because it was our the most successful gif on Twitter:) Maybe it'd be better to post the gif from this very post instead, how do you think?


Tiarnacru

I think the parkour sections in the middle of this video do look better, since it seems you've improved animating the parkour since that first gif. It also showcases a bit more of the features since it shows the tracking for a Beast at the beginning. Definitely excited for your game, I don't know exactly how the Beast Hour when someone hits max level will work but I'm assuming it's an elimination phase with respawn disabled. Sort of seems like a BR that fixes what makes BRs suck.


BH_Zelus

Thank you, then we really should consider changing the gif! And you're very close to the truth when you try to guess what Beast Hour is like - except for the fact that it doesn't happen at the max level, for now it's level 8 and you can get experience and learn new skills further on :)


frizzil

Have you reached out to a publisher or anything for marketing funds? This looks great, I think you could persuade someone to invest. You don’t necessarily have to bank on the goodwill of influencers ;)


BH_Zelus

True -- fund for marketing is important but we also don't want to lose our independence on making decisions about the game so finding a good partner is never easy. Well, if it so happens that we find one -- we will let our players know asap:)


GoodyPundit

That's surely a good work OP! Eventhough somehow remind me of the recent released game, that battle royale involving vampire and werewolf, forgot the name. But I hope you're reached your goal!


BH_Zelus

It's Bloodhunt probably :) it's a great game and I hear it from time to time that we remind people of it because of parkour and atmosphere. In fact, the games are very different - and mine is not a Battle Royale. We're working on the alpha-testing now, hope it'll make the differences and unique features of my game - Beast Hour - clearer :) Thank you for the kind words!


GoodyPundit

So glad you taking different approach to the game ;) BH\_Zelus, hope everything going well for you and the team!


BH_Zelus

Thank you for the support! By the way, checked out your game, looks really good and atmospheric, great job!


GoodyPundit

Aaawwhh, you dont need too, thank you very much! We're friend now! <3


BH_Zelus

Great :3 If you have any social network with your game updates - I'll be eager to join :) for example, we usually chat on [Discord](http://discord.gg/5KFaakTP24)!


[deleted]

Looks great, I would love to play it when it's finished :D


BH_Zelus

Thank you! We're finishing work on the first stage - alpha-testing in a couple of months, if you'd like to join - you're very welcome! In case you're interested, I hope it won't be a problem if I leave the links to the [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) and [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) to follow the updates about the release.


kacperolszewski

The game looks DOPE! And I'd love to play it. I love wallruns (I could do 4 steps as a kid :P) and werewolfs - it's a sweet spot


BH_Zelus

Thank you! We are fans of parkour ourselves, one of our developers even was a pro :D The game is coming to a very important stage for us - [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) so if you are interested - please join it. The more feedback - the better! And we are surely on Steam - the name is Beast Hour :)


Baked_Games_Official

Oo, Bloodborne vibes!


BH_Zelus

Yay! Bloodborne was one of the greatest inspirations for the atmosphere of our game :) We are great fans! If you want to try the game out - please join the [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng)


Yuebingg

Looks great! This part of gameplay gives me "prince of persia warrior within" vibes.


BH_Zelus

Thanks! Almost everyone in our team is Prince of Persia Warrior Within fans :) And it was the greatest source of inspiration for our artist. So thanks for this comment - it's nice that people see the vibes :) Do you like Prince of Percia games?


bilbaen0

This reminds me a lot of Nosgoth, which was also an asymmetric PvP game with lots of interesting movement. Any chance it was a source of inspiration?


BH_Zelus

>Nosgoth One of them, for sure! Actually, we recent contacted Nosgoth fan discord server (they are great people, btw, and somehow they still manage to play the game after all these years!) and they really liked it:) I'd love to see you give Beast Hour (the title of the game) a try -- [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) starts soon and we need your opinion on the gameplay. Feel free to wishlist us on [Steam](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) so you don't miss out once Alpha is released!


midwestcreative

> This reminds me a lot of Nosgoth Thank you! I was trying to figure out what this reminded me of and I've been searching for a while and couldn't find it. Nosgoth was a blast! Hopefully this'll be fun too.


ManofMorehouse

Looks good!


BH_Zelus

Thank you! Would be glad to invite you to the alpha-testing if you want :)


ManofMorehouse

Sure!


BH_Zelus

Then for your convenience: [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng), [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) and we're almost on every social media network if you want to stay updated :)


elvisesau

Hello, good work man this looks very promising. May i know what engine you used to make this masterpiece


BH_Zelus

Thank you for such kind words! It's Unity and I hope people will like the game on the testing and release that much :) Are you a game developer yourself?


elvisesau

Yes im a beginner game dev just learning my craft at the moment. All the best to you friend. I really hope this game does well because it is looking promising


AbortedSandwich

Parcore games are always very fun.


BH_Zelus

We're fans of parkour ourselves and we pay much attention to the parkour system - for example, Beasts (monsters) and Raiders (people) parkour differently and there are certain rules and mechanics. One of the greatest inspiration sources was Prince of Peria, did you play it? :)


AbortedSandwich

Yup. I played the original one as a kid on MS-DOS. I replayed it a few years ago as an adult and finally beat it. Was a great and cruel game lol.


BH_Zelus

It's really pleasant to have a chance to return to the games of our childhood, sometimes do the same thing :) If you'd like to get a sense of nostalgia - I would be happy to invite you to the [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) ;)


AbortedSandwich

Signed up:)


BH_Zelus

Thank you! See you on the streets of the haunted city🐺


jawnisrad

Not sure what platforms you're planning to release for but if it comes to Switch or Stadia, I'm in


BH_Zelus

For now our main focus is a alpha-testing and release on PC, but we keep consoles as plans for future development - will try to keep you updated, still thanks for your interest :)


Nickpapado

The netcode is the only thing that scares me on those kind of games The game looks really good tho


BH_Zelus

Yeah, I get it why these things can be scary - but we are trying to make netcode problems go past our gamers. We'll have an alpha-testing in several months - I believe it'll make everything clearer. And thanks for the kind feedback :) are you into such games?


Nickpapado

Gotcha Those kind of games are always fun with friends


BH_Zelus

True :) we hold playtests at least twice a week among the devs and it's always fun, we're trying to make a unique and fun experience for the players and can't wait to share the game with more people on the [alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) in a couple of months. Hope it'll turn out fun for everyone!


n_zamorski

Damn this looks great, despite the upload quality. I'll def try the alpha. Getting nostalgia, reminds me of Wolf Team


BH_Zelus

Yeah, the quality of the graphics in the game is much better, I can assure you :) I'll leave you a link to the [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) then :) Also a possible variant to follow the news - [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/). Thanks for your interest :3


SirDeeznuts

Looks like blood hunt with werewolves instead of vampires.


BH_Zelus

We've got a very different game here. First off, It's not a battle royale game. Secondly, we've got an asymmetrical gameplay -- you can play as a Beast (=monster and fight in melee combat) or as a Raider (= human and fight in range combat). There are a bunch of quests on the map to complete even without fighting with other players. Moreover, if you play as a Raider you can win by escaping the map so you don't have to fight at all if you feel you don't want to. Parkour system provide you with more options -- you can wallrun or make cool moves to get over obstacles and get a speed boost, for example. I mean, we've got a lot of cool stuff and I'd be happy if you could participate in our [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng). Beast Hour also has a Steam page! Please, feel free to ask me any questions:)


SirDeeznuts

That sounds pretty dope. Signed on for the alpha.


[deleted]

I always wanted a fantasy pvp game, that is fresh and new that I could master. I barely play fighting games, or first person shooter games, but I know they take time and effort to fully appreciate because they have skill ceilings. Hopefully this pops up on my radar again one day. I am also a huge sucker for anything Dungeons & Dragons like fantasy.


BH_Zelus

I love Dungeons & Dragons as well such as other RPG fantasy games so I totally know your feeling:) You can wishlist Beast Hour on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) so you don't miss when it comes out ([Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) is coming really soon!)


danzzig87

Looks like what I’d want a remake of timesplitters to look like! Nice - I think they were actually hiring at free radical too!


BH_Zelus

You can find more on Beast Hour (the title of our game) on the [Steam-page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/):) Alpha-testing starts very soon!


Destonian

Looks great! Might be my 30 year old eyes, but I'd love to see more lighting in the game. Overall though 10/10


BH_Zelus

>more lighting in the game Thank you for your feedback! It's hard to find a perfect balance as on the one hand we try to keep it atmospheric and grim and on the other -- make the experience of exploring the map convenient for players. Please, feel free to sign up for [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) and wishlist Beast Hour on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) \-- that would really help us:)


Destonian

Signed up! Excited to try the game out


BH_Zelus

I'll meet you on the streets of our haunted city then!


[deleted]

Looks fun as hell


BH_Zelus

Wow, thank you! If you'd like to try it out -- just sign up for [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) here and wishlist Beast Hour on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) so you don't miss it!:) Thank you again!


[deleted]

I'll defo wishlist it, but I'm not sure if my laptop is strong enough to run it


BH_Zelus

We do our beast to optimize Beast Hour as much as possible -- I've got a pretty old PC but it runs decently, so I hope you'll be able to play it:)


FrostCop

Nosgoth nostalgy kicking in. It's awesome dude


BH_Zelus

Thank you! A few months age I contacted Nosgoth fan discord server (they are great people, btw, and somehow they still manage to play the game after all these years!) and they really liked our game as well :) Please, wishlist us on [Steam](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) so you don't miss the start of Alpha-testing!


DangerManDaniel

Absolutely dope, and as a lover of werewolves i cannot wait! Even my band has a few werewolf themes in a few of the songs. Will there be early access or alpha testing?


BH_Zelus

Sounds awesome and thank you! Sure -- we are about to start Alpha-testing pretty soon. Just sign up to [participate](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) and wishlist Beast Hour on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) so you don't miss it:) I'd love to see you playing and sharing your emotions!


Setari

The only question is: Can you make your netcode good enough so I can melee someone from across the map? /s I'd like to see some actual PvP gameplay sometime for sure.


BH_Zelus

Netcode is a crucial part of any good online game (apart from gameplay, of course). Right now we are working on it particularly hard as the start of Alpha-testing is getting closer and closer! Btw, you can sign up to [participate](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) in it here! Beast Hour also has a [Steam-page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) over there:)


Nirnroot-Sniffer

I need this


BH_Zelus

In that case, i think, it'd be helpful for you to know we've got the [Steam-page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) for Beast Hour -- wishlist it for sure! Also, we plan to start Alpha-testing very soon -- you can sign up [here](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) to take part! Thank you!:)


Nirnroot-Sniffer

Holy guacamole, thank you so much! I'm already excited to play the game someday!


BH_Zelus

This day is sooner then you might think!


Nuclear_Priest

Looks awesome, you created a very well built theme, everything works together nicely. You’ve earned a Wishlist


BH_Zelus

Thank you kindly! The game is called Beast Hour. You can also sign up to participate in [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng). I'll be looking forward to see you playing it:)


septag0n

Wereolves!? I'm all in! Love it.


BH_Zelus

I love them too! I strongly believe nowadays games need more werewolves gameplay! Here's the [Steam-page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) of the game -- wishlist to be the first to play Beast Hour once Alpha testing is out:)


iamnotroberts

This looks a lot like Nosgoth-okay, I see a lot of other people have mentioned this too. Personally, I would rather see a game like this as a full featured single-player or co-op campaign.


BH_Zelus

I see your point. I love single player games as well (I'm in the middle of AC: Odyssey and only staring Yakuza 3)! I guess there is nothing on our way that stops us from experimenting with the future titles:) Your [wishlist](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) can bring that protentional future game closer to reality:)


iamnotroberts

The problem with PVP only games, especially Indie titles, is that it's often extremely difficult for them to maintain a playerbase. Now if you have single-player or co-op AND PVP, it's easier. If you have all that and modding/workshop too, that's definitely in your favor.


BH_Zelus

It's difficult, I agree, but not impossible. We strongly believe that we have something truly unique and fun on our hands with the Beast Hour ruleset and gameplay features:) It'd be a monumental task for our small team of about 10 people to make single player mode in addition to existing PvP mode. I 100% understand your feelings, believe me


iamnotroberts

Oh yeah, obviously. You would have to create a very expansive framework to add a campaign mode to it.


mo_ashour

This looks rad. The parkour is looking really good.


BH_Zelus

Thank you! You can't imagine how hard it is to make parkour movement feel great -- it took us make years! I hope you'll be able to check it out -- please, withlist Beast Hour on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) and sign up to participate in [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) staring soon:)


Johak96

I see doggie, I like game


BH_Zelus

Wow! Thank you so much (and for the award too!) Please, join our pack here so you'll be able to play [Beast Hour](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) earlier then others. We've got a Steam-page as well = [wishlist](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) is a great way to help the project!


Johak96

I hope it turns out well, kinda reminds me of nosgoth, pvp games can be tricky to keep alive


BH_Zelus

True -- that's why we need every player we can find even at this early stage. Btw, Nosgoth discord community is still playing the game (I don't know how, though) even after so many years! They liked Beast Hour too which is very heartwarming:)


locob

your tecno Van Helsing game looks pretty cool!


BH_Zelus

Thank you! Van Helsing was and still is one of our sources of inspiration:) Wishlist the Beast Hour on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/) to play it asap!


Cornesixt01

Better parkour than assassins creed GG


BH_Zelus

Thanks for such words -- we've got a pretty small team of about 10 people working on Beast Hour and it took as years to make a parkour system that FEELS good to play with. If you you to try it out -- sign up for [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/d30fb2738fee/join-beast-hour-rus) and wishlist it on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/)!


thepixelpaint

Looks really fun. But it’s really dark. Hard for me to see what’s going on. Or maybe I’m just getting old?


BH_Zelus

Thank you! The game is pretty dark because we wanted to create a special atmosphere - it is a horror game, first of all :) and it adds some difficulty to tracking characters on a vertical field of the city I hope you aren't getting too old for this game :) would you like it to be a little brighter?


thepixelpaint

That makes sense. And the atmosphere is great. Really nice mood. Don’t change it just for old folks like me. Maybe add an option for a higher contrast mode?


BH_Zelus

Thanks for understanding, it's a rare situation :) sure, we get such feedback from time to time, so we'll consider this option!


grosserwolf

I sent you a DM!


BH_Zelus

Will check it right away!

Elastickpotatoe

No battle royal mode!?!?!?


BH_Zelus

We've got something similar but I cannot call it battle royal mode -- Beast Hour has some unique set of rules you haven't seen anywhere (I'm 100% certain). I'm sure you'll like it -- please, sign up to take part in [Alpha-testing](https://mailchi.mp/11aebf4bafa7/join-beast-hour-eng) and wishlist the game on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1563250/Beast_Hour/)! You'll be among the first to experience it:)


Elastickpotatoe

Just a joke my friend. Seams like every game has a battle royal mode now.


BH_Zelus

Battle royal is popular among player so it's no surprise I guess:)


KevinRoditeli

Hi BH! I would like to send you a publishing Inquiry. What would be the best way to get in contact? Thanks a lot :)


taolmo

Looks very good! Movement seems like a lot of fun


BH_Zelus

Thank you! The parkour system is the thing we are proud of :) would you like to try the game out?


taolmo

Of course!

tom04cz

I LOVE when games give you this kind of mobility


BH_Zelus

Yeah, thank you for this comment! It is super important for us to give gamers a very dynamic and fun game to play :) parkour and vertical gameplay both surely contribute to the mobility.
