The demo grants access to every survival system in the game, rotates through four hand-picked maps, and sets no time limit per round nor cap on deaths per session. We want players to explore, experiment, and tell us what works, and what doesn’t.

Here's an updated look at the WIP cliff system from the same POV in Go Wayback!: the first from the public demo, and the second from our dev build, both of which I played today.
It still amazes me how quickly the guided generation system allows our team to iterate on the environment of our worlds.

We now have a live demo of Go Wayback in players’ hands! Sharing our games during early development is a founding principle of our studio and allows the @ppsocials.bsky.social team to iterate on core systems with player input early on.

I've honestly never really believed in any take on the "metaverse" until @playerunknown.net pitched me his version a while ago: it has to be a protocol. Closer to HTTP than a social media site. We'll see where this one goes.
