BEATKEEPERS

this is the intro to a gamemode we call "Beatkeepers", something co-op where you have to rebuild your entire game scene with everyone else. y'all better hope you can go note-for-note, as even if one person misses, you all get punished.

coming soooooon to Playtest Eclipse.

KABOOM (the performance is horrific)

little tiny "quality-of-life" enhancement that really should've been in Poly Beats for a while - Favoriting, Searching, and Filtering maps are in for the next playtesting update.

(ignore the bugs i'll fix those tommorow)

"multiplayer is easy
when does it get hard?"

our lead developer @skye.scares.men has been tinkering with multiplayer for the past couple hours. she's having a lot of fun piecing the first half of our multiplayer experience together... heheheh

WOOP WOOP WOOP NEW PLAYTEST ALERT 🚨

Playtest Proxima 2 is out on Steam in a closed-but-sorta-not-closed Playtest.

This one adds better Leaderboard frameworks, alongside a fully charted mod-chart on a base game level, modifiers to keep things interesting, and so so many bugfixes.

nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing out-of-the-blur, just a girl enjoying a small animation she made for her video game.
January 22, 2025 at 11:08 PM
almost done with this playtest.

it's been another year already?

TY to the entire 5th Step team, and you players, for the amazing reception toward this year of development. ❤️

below, look at what we got done this year, how close we are to are to a full release.

see you in 2025, for (hopefully) our last year in development. 🎀

sorry i forgot to give y'all a Happy Holidays message
December 26, 2024 at 5:29 PM
I don't think other people can find our profile. Anyone at @bsky.app know why this is the case?

What bug is going on 😭 🙏
November 29, 2024 at 6:17 PM
we made a mistake, and we're sorry.
we did not mean to offend religions like Thanksgiving, and also cultures that celebrate Thanksgiving.

we only wanna be a safe space, and we breached that bubble in a way we shouldn't have.

hit us up and we'll try to make it right.
That's a bold statement: "Better than Thanksgiving."
I don't know if I feel comfortable supporting a studio that believes itself and it's creations superior to an entire holiday.
And I think I'm going to have to cut ties with my friend @theskyerush.bsky.social to drive the point home.
