Dev Update #1


Hey, there fellow rivals!

This is just a quick update on the further development of the game, what you can expect to come and what is going on right now.

We released REEF RIVALS on steam over a week ago and we are blown away by how many of you actually bought the game! We are happy there is interest in our project and we are looking forward to further polishing and updating the game. Talking about which, we are expecting to roll out our first update this weekend! The update will fix many small bugs and improve some UI elements and sounds. We also tweaked some levels and gameplay mechanics.

The next (and first) content update will be coming up at the beginning of summer! We don't have an exact date yet but expect it around the end of May.

Last but not least an update on our release here on gamejolt:

We are still waiting to be verified for gamejolts marketplace (we've had some issues with our country's postcodes whilst setting things up) and we will release as soon as we are allowed to do so!

Wishing you all the best and a great time at the reef!

We hope youll enjoy the update! :)

It's right behind me, isn't it? :(

(Gamejolt release will follow within the next few days)

Oh, btw! REEF RIVALS is now out on gamejolt as well! Grab your friends and have yourself a nice time at the reef! Please note: Online play is sadly only avaible on Steam but who needs to play online when you can sit right next to each other?!

Big news everyone! Our first big content update is going to release soon! You can look forward to new unlockable Rivalists, new minigames, and a very special guest coming to the reef for the big party! More details coming soon...

This has to be a costume, right? PEARY is one of the three new rivalists coming with our big SUMMER JAM update! 🍐🎉 Update will go live on the 23rd so stay tuned!

(as always, made and rendered in blender, textured in quixel!)

Are you beach body ready? Because PEARY sure is! He is one of the new Skins coming with our big summer update. More on that update soon. Until then: Get in shape! No matter what shape.

Feel uncomfortable and wrap a towel over your hips... Because we added a "Locker Room" environment for 3D viewing your characters in the shop! Over are the times of them floating in the endless blue void of nothingness.

Have you unlocked "A.R.R." yet? No? You should hurry! Nobody knows how long his batteries will last. Oh and please, make sure he doesn't get himself wet. Would not end well. For both him and the fishes around him.
