After watching @zaknafeintv.bsky.social's first look & thoughtful review of our Go Wayback! demo, I reached out to chat about his feedback & our bigger plans at @ppsocials.bsky.social We sat down last week and had a great conversation, and I've included some of the highlights below <3

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

Got a great seed, with this lovely vista, testing Go Wayback! today <3

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Here's a short clip showing some of the worlds you'll be able to explore in Go Wayback! during early access. We've also updated the demo with ten new maps, a new help screen (H) to get you started on your adventure, and multiple bug fixes <3 Try the update now @ demos.pp.studio

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

We've a small group on our community Discord that gets the nightly build of Go Wayback! Since they have access to the debug controls, they enjoy testing the limits of our systems...

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

A great example of why I love emergent systems! Thanks for helping us test Go Wayback! 5qu34k <3 www.instagram.com/_5qu34k_

The team at @ppsocials.bsky.social is also working on improving the mountain environment in Go Wayback! While we have more improvements to make, I'm very happy with these early results <3 You can try this update soon via community.pp.studio

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

Try the next update for our demo of Go Wayback! in our community playtest running over @ community.pp.studio now! We've added a new screen to help you get started, and ten new maps to explore. I hope you enjoy <3

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

We're testing an updated version of the Go Wayback! demo in our next play-test, starting at 19:00 CET today. Lots of QoL fixes, and 10 new maps for you to explore <3 Join @ community.pp.studio

Here's an updated look at the WIP cliff system from the same POV in Go Wayback!: the first from the public demo, and the second from our dev build, both of which I played today. It still amazes me how quickly the guided generation system allows our team to iterate on the environment of our worlds.

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

The demo grants access to every survival system in the game, rotates through four hand-picked maps, and sets no time limit per round nor cap on deaths per session. We want players to explore, experiment, and tell us what works, and what doesn’t.

122

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

We’re looking forward to your stories, feedback, and bug reports, which will allow us to shape Go Wayback! together over the coming months, before early access launch later this summer.

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

We now have a live demo of Go Wayback in players’ hands! Sharing our games during early development is a founding principle of our studio and allows the @ppsocials.bsky.social team to iterate on core systems with player input early on.

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

The progress the Go Wayback! Team has made on guided generation for the river system, in just a few months, has been nothing short of amazing! In these two shots, the improvement is clear, 1st from February & 2nd from last week. Excited to see how our team can leverage this over the coming year!

We're working on improving the weather tower location in Prologue: Go Wayback!, and this concept shot we made for reference is such a vibe, I just had to share <3

012

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Here's a better look at this new iteration of the Prologue: Go Wayback! weather station POI. We'll be testing this update in our community playtest at community.pp.studio next week <3

032

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

And because I like details, here are some updates to the weather tower prop set. The art team has pretty exciting plans to add visual depth at this location, and I can't wait to share their work sometime soon <3

041

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

As a novice still, I love seeing the process from idea to in-game, and the iterations that follow from feedback provided. And as I love seeing the process, I thought I'd share it in case anyone also finds it interesting <3

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

The guided generation system in Prologue: Go Wayback! enables our game team to add multiple points of interest (POIs) to our generated maps. Currently, the team is giving the weather tower POI some love...

As a throwback this Thursday, I thought I'd share some of the trailers I made over the years for battle royale... First up, the trailer I created for DayZ Battle Royale on ARMA2 that started it all... 🧵 1/4

We recently updated the cover art for Prologue from a placeholder, and I wanted to highlight it today, as I genuinely love senior artist Jorry's concept work. He blends in-game imagery with wonderful overpainting to create great impressions of what we hope to achieve in the game...

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

I'm sharing this article as I felt such pride in the team when reading this paragraph. It's a risk to build something hard, unforgiving, not for everyone & trusting players to create their own stories in an emergent space, but the team have nailed it so far, and I just wanted to shout that out <3

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

a lovely vista to start my day in Prologue: Go Wayback

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Looking forward to sharing the new build of Prologue: Go Wayback! with our community on Monday and hearing their thoughts on the update. Personally, I love the improvements to the fog, thanks in large part to feedback from the last test <3 Join us @ community.pp.studio

I afk'd while PROLOGUE: Go Wayback! was loading, forgot about it for a bit, and returned to... this... noir murder mystery?!

PLAYERUNKNOWN @playerunknown.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

I also want to say I'm very thankful for having a community willing to give up their time to help us test, pass on feedback, and give us suggestions on how to improve the experience ❤️ If you'd like to join the playtests, you can find us here: community.pp.studio 2/x

"Had a blast. Set fire to my compass, set fire to a shack, forgot shoes, fell down a hill, got lost... it was awesome. Thank you to you and the team." Another week of testing with our community done 👏 With each test, I'm more & more confident we can create a great game using this process 🤝 1/2
