Hello! Welcome to this month's Beatstown Brawl Development Update! A decent amount of stuff has happened since the last update, so let's jump right into it.

Holy shit the trailer is so outdated now.

No clue if you have noticed yet, but the original Beatstown Brawl trailer has been removed from the store page. And that is because WAY too much has changed in terms of the visuals (which is to be expected) but also containing cast members and content that is just no longer available within the game. Thus I feel like on a visual, content, and mechanical level it is no longer an accurate representation of what the mod will look like. As such a new trailer is in development and will release before the mod releases. Speaking of which...

Volume 1's Release Date

The most unaccurate thing about the trailer was the hope to get the mod out by the end of 2021. Thinking about it a bit it could've been done but multiple factors definitely kept it from happening. However, unless we add further bonus content to this first release, the voice lines is literally all we need before the mod can release. Literally everything else needed is done. And if the times given by my VAs are accurate, then we can get the mod out by the end of February at the LATEST. There will be future updates to the mod, as in the multiple other volumes within it, but in terms of the Volume 1 week specifically it will be completed around a week or two after the VA lines get in.

What we've added since the last development update

As assumed by the statement "Everything but the voice lines are done" everything but the voice lines are done. But to be more specific we have finished up the soundtrack, we have finished writing the dialogue, the cutscene art is done, there is an entirely new menu (pictured above in glorious 8K HDR), added Achievements, a lot has been done since last time and I think it helps make Volume 1 a more complete experience than it would've been without some of these additions.

Conclusion

Despite me now being tied to multiple projects like Supa Hot Funkin and FNF Medical Euphoria, this was always the project I had the most confidence in. I feel like you will all very much enjoy the 1.0 release when it comes out sometime before the end of February. And that's not all if you want to help on the mod in ANY way, contact QuagFire#5135 on discord. We are currently looking for as many team members in different fields like Art, Music, Coding, and Voice Acting as possible to truly bring the project to life!

Thank you for reading the final development update before the release of version 1.0! See you then!
