I'm excited to finally announce a project I've been working on for a while now. I feel like the game is at a stage in which I'm comfortable to reveal it, and I want to share a few things in this post.

About Overboard

Overboard is an online free-for-all game where players fight to push each other off an island into surrounding water using a fighter of their choice. Each fighter has their own unique set of abilities that can be used to knock opponents off or aid in recovering if thrown off themselves. Last player standing wins the round!

There's currently three unique fighters to choose from, but more will be coming.

About the beta

The game is going to enter a closed beta on Thursday September 16th to make sure everything works as should. After some testing, it'll be released for everyone to try as an open beta (more about that later). At that stage you can give feedback or suggestions for me to improve the game for the full release later down the line.

You can apply for the closed beta on the Overboard Discord server. You'll get access to the private build on September 16th if you get accepted. So if you're interested, don't be afraid to join and apply.


I might also post some gameplay footage next week, as well as other stuff about the game so stay tuned!
