Splitgate Dev Tracker

Yes! We have a skin for everyone who participated in the alpha (but not for maxing out, given that the alpha is a short window). We also are doing twitch drops right now where you can get an Aeros Carbine skin, and of course we have the Hunt the Devs skins that you get for killing devs (if you don't get it this time though, we plan to bring back this event in the future so don't worry). All skins you get in Alpha, will carry over to the final game.

Yes! Didn't have it ready for Alpha but we are still working on a number of optimizations (for PC as well), and this includes 120fps support for PS5 and XBOX Series X. We also are working on some ways to reduce input lag.

👀👀👀

We will have a future blogpost discussing our liveops and cosmetics strategy. But yes there will be some cosmetics for purchase and some that are grindable. I will say, I think our cosmetics are some of the best in the industry! I can't wait for you all to see our amazing characters and gun skins :) Our art team is actually cracked. Our Lead Weapons Artist was the Lead Weapons Artist for COD and our Associate Art Director worked on many of the characters and guns for Valorant!

Answered this on another thread in more detail but TLDR is more guns yes, more factions probably not. Not sure what you mean by squisher but if you are asking about TTK, it is balanced to be more or less the same as SG1. Thanks for the kind words!

All of that and more

Ill play Aeros :)

I will be playing Multi team on US servers in about an hour. Name is CardinalSoldier

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words.

There were a number of reason we made Splitgate 2 instead of iterating on Splitgate 1. At a high level, our goal is to build the best shooter in the world, and one that as many gamers as possible can enjoy. We felt like pivoting to Splitgate 2 would get us there for a few reasons (not in any particular order):

1. Splitgate 1 started as a school project. This meant the way we built things were not super scalable because we were still learning when we started. This is part of the reason our servers weren't able to scale well. But also the codebase wasn't built in a way that worked well for liveops or for larger teams all working on the same game at the same time. We have since redone the entire backend and basically re-architected all of our codebase to make iterating faster and servers more scalable.
   
2. SG1 was in UE4. We wanted to be in UE5 to have the best engine possible to set ourselves up for long ter...

Not ready to chat specific future modes, but I will say this: Takedown was my favorite mode in Splitgate 1. And I spent 70% of my time playing ranked modes. And the good news is I am in charge of making this game! And obviously I want to make a game that is full of stuff I love playing ;)

Haha thanks for the question. It's simple: "Pru"

It hasn't been a priority yet, but it will be good to go by launch!

TBH no. The app and comics are something I was never really a fan of and did not meet my vision. We have brought in new marketing leadership who I have been personally working very closely with to make sure everything we do in marketing, matches my vision for the game. You can consider the comics not canon to our lore. That said, there is a world that we make an entirely new app post launch, but it would be very different. I think Destiny is a great example of what a companion app should look like.

Great question! I think we have 3 key advantages here over most other companies struggling with remote work, and overall I actually think we are significantly more efficient as a result of being remote.

1. We have been remote since day 1. This has allowed us to slowly grow and iterate on what works as a remote company over time vs having to pivot from in person to remote over night like many companies had to do.
   
2. Just like how we are always listening to feedback and improving/iterating on the game, we do the same with our company. One of our company values is "Feedback is a Gift" and this applies to everything. It has allowed us to build an amazing culture at 1047 that values excellence, integrity, and fun, and it has helped us build a great remote working environment.
   
3. We are a video game company! This actually helps a lot because our entire company are gamers, so we have an easy time "socializing" with each other by playing video games toge...

It's a balance but we do have more maps that are closer to SG1 coming. I think Bypass and Eden are good examples of where our heads are at for a good balance of lots of portals and some verticality, but also not too friendly to portal camping. We want more maps like Stadium and fewer maps like Crag if that makes sense. But we are always looking for feedback and adjusting accordingly, which is why we added more portal walls and floor portals to Ozone, Frontier, and Zenith. You can expect us to continue to adjust and iterate based on the feedback we get!

Guns forsure. Factions probably not, but depends on what the community wants. If you want more factions, you will get more factions in the future! If you don't, you won't! From what I can see so far (and from how we designed the game), we think 3 factions is the right amount.

A LOT. For one, our company has gone from about 15 devs for SG1 to over 190 of the best devs in the industry and counting. So the speed, quality, and quantity of content that we can hit is SIGNIFICANTLY more in every way than SG1. You can expect 3 month seasons, with large monthly updates (maps, modes, etc) and new things (featured modes, events, challenges, and more) every week. We will have more specifics to share on this soon, but if there is one thing we have improved over SG1 dramatically, it's our post launch content pipeline.

To be honest, we are still experimenting with this. We are trying to balance making sure we have good variety and good player choice while also making sure queue times are fast and no one is getting bots. Part of the tradeoff here though is we probably won't have quite as many playlists active 24/7 as SG1 because that leads to longer wait times and/or bot games, which is a worse experience that we really don't want. Even if/when we have a ton of players (which we are confident we will have when we start our big marketing push closer to launch), there will still always be playlists that are not super active in certain regions at certain times of day (think lower population server at 3am with crossplay turned off). This is why games like Apex and Valorant only have a few playlists even though they have large playerbases. We plan to have more playlists than them, but not quite as many as SG1. What exactly those playlists look like is TBD, and will be based on what the community wants....

Haha you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I'd say movement is inspired by Halo mixed with a little Titanfall 2 mixed with a little Black Ops 3. Gunplay is def mostly inspired by the older Halos though with our own unique take. Definitely trying to stay true to our original vision and what made the first Splitgate special (gunplay, movement, portals) while taking it to the next level with the additional resources and learnings that we now have.

haha we have all been playing throughout the alpha! (I have played over 20 hours). I am gonna personally log on as soon as this AMA is done (or maybe after I eat something quick)
