Welcome back to our monthly OUTBRK newsletter. In this edition, we’re talking about a big indie game contest we’re finalists in, and we’re finally announcing our first public playtest for kickstarter backers! [b]CATAPULTE[/b] In the last month, we submitted our application to a few indie competitions and we got selected to be part of the 5 finalists in a local indie studio accelerator called “Catapulte” with prizes totalling more than 125k CAD$ in grants and external support for the winning team. By reaching this stage, we will receive training by industry professionals for the next few weeks and finally present our project in front of judges on April 7th. This is massive for us and winning this competition would enable us to truly deliver on our vision for OUTBRK much faster.

Playtests are a very important part of our development and will provide an opportunity for us to begin laying out a more concrete release timeline as we validate our design and technical systems. If you are a kickstarter backer, make sure you are a member of our Discord server by following [url=https://discord.gg/PbgmksM ]this link[/url] - and then make sure you have the blue “Backer” role. If you don’t, contact David (MOARNial) in the OUTBRK Discord server and we’ll get it sorted out. We will use Discord to coordinate everything related to this very important Playtest session, from planning to giving you access to the game and collecting feedback after players have had the chance to try the game. That is all for this month’s newsletter! Stay safe, chasers! The OUTBRK Team
