Hey everyone!
In this edition of our monthly OUTBRK newsletter, we’re giving a small update on the big indie contest we’re finalists in, and we’re sharing the results of the big playtest session we’ve had with some of our Kickstarter backers.

Last month we announced that we qualified in the top 5 finalists in a local indie competition called Catapulte. Ahead of the big finals that will take place on April 7th, we’re receiving weekly training in presentation skills and marketing strategies. These experts are helping us build a strong pitch and maximize our chances of winning, and we’re spending a lot of time refining our presentation to integrate their valuable feedback.

KICKSTARTER BACKERS PLAYTEST [/b][/h1]
This month was one of the busiest months on OUTBRK so far. We’ve held a big playtest session with more than 50 players among our kickstarter backers. They were able to play one round of OUTBRK each and give us their impression of their experience. We’ve also asked them to fill out a short form to gather more detailed feedback on our gameplay systems.
We’re still compiling the results, but we can share two very promising stats; We asked player to grade on a note from 1 to 5 (1 being I totally disagree, and 5 being I totally agree) these following statements :

We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but these grades are showing we’re doing something right and it’s really encouraging. Some players that participated in the Playtest also sent us recordings of their experience, and we’ve put them together into a highlight video. You can watch it here :
