Looks like another map has been added to the map pool... We can't wait to see what you guys will do with it! 👀

As always, we want to remind you to wishlist Bodycam on Steam as it really helps us more than you think.

What's going on with Bodycam?

Hi everyone! As you all know, we announced Bodycam's release date for the end of September, and now being the 28th makes you all wonder: what's going on right now?

To be as transparent as possible, because of the team's age (20 & 17 years old) we had some troubles and slowdowns regarding the financial side of the project (such as creating and registering a business bank account).

We still need to activate it and get a positive answer from Steam, since all those changes have to be verified before being able to publish Bodycam.

That means, and we know that some people will be sad about it, that Bodycam's release date is now postponed for a short time. Just to be clear, the development is going very well and we are already ready to deliver the game, but the financial & professionnal side of the project is what keeps us from releasing the game.

We don't exactly know how long it will take Steam to verify everything, but as soon as everything is ready we will announce an official release date, no matter what happens.

Thank you all for your support, and we really look forward everyone playing the game!

Hello everyone.
100,000 Wishlists You are incredible ❤️

We are currently working on the release. On the administrative side, we are well-prepared, and we are in the process of coordinating with Steam to establish a release date. We are actively preparing for the release and handling the marketing efforts (French people, you're not ready...), and we are beginning to reinforce our team!

Furthermore, we are pleased to share that our press kit is now available to everyone. (All content creators are encouraged to produce content!)"

<@&1144063119778394223>
Dear Bodycam community,

First of all, we would like to thank you all for the numerous supporting and encouraging messages we have received on our various networks. You guys are incredible!
We wanted to provide you some clarification on the current state of the game, and more generally its release.

Bodycam was originally a very small project, but following the colossal enthusiasm around it, we had to reconsider a lot of things (content, gameplay, sound quality, game modes, etc).

All problems related to administrative papers and Steam release are resolved, so this no longer worries us. We would have liked to release the game in early access, but we aren't able to submit an early-access version because Bodycam is already listed as a published game (while still being private and unaccessible to the public) on the Steam marketplace, which makes it impossible to backtrack and set its status as an early-access game.

However, we've made a lot of gameplay changes lately that have led to a longer testing phase. Many fixes have been made to make the game as realistic and consistent as possible.
While conducting these testing phases, we detected a few bugs which have already been fixed to this date.

To give you some concrete examples, we have reworked the sounds effects, the movement system, some animations and all those little details that make a game pleasant to play and stick as closely as possible to reality. We are working very hard and very late at night to meet your expectations.

Before giving you a specific date, we must arrange with our partners and influencers to organize the release, so that everything goes smoothly.

You may have had the impression that not everything was transparent from our side. We do apologize for this. The main reason is our lack of time and resources. We regret this and will try to communicate more with you as the projects goes on.

If you want to get every updates we share about Bodycam, be sure to follow us on our social networks. Please feel free to comment and give constructive feedback as well as giving us ideas for medias you would like to see.

We know you that want to have Bodycam in your hands, but don't forget that we are a small independent studio, and that we have neither the human nor financial resources to release the game as easily and quickly as a AAA studio. We are doing our best to meet the game's release deadline but we sadly cannot guarantee anything. There are also many things that do not depend on us, and we hope's it's understandable enough.

Keep in mind that we want to release an indie game of the highest quality possible, while respecting what is possible for our structure.

Right now, giving us energy and support while we are working on the end phase of the game's development is the best thing you can do.

Also, here's an exclusive clip of a full round of a 5 vs. 4 multiplayer game:

<@&1144063119778394223>
Hello everyone, we are back with some updates!

We have made significant development progresses and are eager to show more about the game in the coming days! Through multiple playtests, we have been able to make changes to the gameplay, achieving something more realistic and even closer to what we envisioned. Beyond the various changes, additions, balancing and gameplay adjustments, we have also worked on major quality of life improvements, added maps, and many other things that you will have the opportunity to discover in due time.

We are continuously preparing the release of the game which is getting closer and closer, and want to let you know that the delay added from September is due to the unexpected hype around the project on Steam, and also us being contacted by multiple partners willing to accompany us in this journey to get the best out of our game.

We also are pleased to welcome new members in our team, helping us polishing and developing the game for a better experience and product quality. Please welcome : @merry mango @spare zodiac @hollow snow @old kraken @marble imp @forest linden @sharp merlin @mint roost @ashen dew @dim summit @agile tulip @fluid sedge and @unique tinsel!

Once again, we want to thank you for all the support you provide; it means a lot to us and pushes us to progress better than ever!
Lastly, we want to keep you informed as much as possible about the game's progress by offering a weekly update on the work in progress, so you can be as close to us as possible in this beta-testing & polishing phase!

In the meantime, here's a new 4v3 clip on an old reworked map, construction site!

Hi everyone, we have some new weekly updates to share!

We've added new sounds and reworked the older ones to make them much more faithful to reality and enhance immersion to its best potential. Regarding gameplay, we've started looking into a rework of suppression effects as well as the visual and auditory sensations that players can experience when hit.

To continue aligning with our ambitions and the game's expectations, we've also modified existing maps to make them even more balanced and immersive.

Finally, we are constantly patching, fixing and gameplay balancing.

Also, here's a video of a new airsoft themed map!

Hello everyone, we're back with some updates!

This week, our animation team has been hard at work, thanks to @ashen dew for their dedication.

We've also focused our efforts on the lobby and user experience, adding a touch of role-playing to the lobby to make the overall experience even more immersive.

We've introduced new interactions with objects and lights on the maps, transforming the gaming experience as you navigate through different scenarios.

And the exciting news! We're about to organize a game** playtest day** to evaluate our network infrastructures. Get ready, and make sure to activate the <@&1144063119778394223> role (which can be obtained in #🎭┆roles) to not miss the official playtest announcement!

Hi everyone, the team is back with some updates!

Now that the playtest session is coming soon, we wanted to let you guys choose something pretty important: the map you will all be able to play on.

We are organizing a vote so that everyone can select a favorite map amongst the three shown in the video down below. Once decided, you can vote by adding a reaction to the message, going with the following order:

• 1️⃣ : Wornhouse
• 2️⃣ : Airsoft House
• 3️⃣ : Abandoned Hospital

We are still internally deciding over how the playtest session will unfold. You'll get confirmed information in the next weekly update, which should be announcing the full details and opening of the testing session if we are fully ready to deliver it.

Please note that although we want a lot of people to be able to experience Bodycam and give us feedback, the session will have limited slots.

Lastly, the Reissad content creation team is searching for new content creators willing to join us! If you are at least 18 years old, have skills in video editing and are able to speak English fluently, we'd love to hear about you!
Please message @spare zodiac if you'd like to apply.

That's it for this week, we'll be back with some exciting news at the end of the week!

<@&1144063119778394223>
Hey everyone, here's your weekly dose of information!

First of all, sorry for that one-day delay, the team is getting busy in those times.
Development is going better than ever as we're currently on new systems, one of them being artificial intelligence. 👀

The playtest preparation is also nicely coming along as we are currently fixing important bugs regarding player connection and joinability related to servers.

As for the big news: we are back again with a new vote!
As you probably already know as it was showcased on our social media, players are able to select certain patches to better customize their appearance.

We are offering the choice to choose the exclusive patch that will be given to the lucky playtesters. This patch will only be granted during playtest sessions.

Now it's your turn to choose among the four patches:

• 1️⃣ : [BETA] - aka "Beta Version".
• 2️⃣ : [OG] - aka "Old School Player".
• 3️⃣ : [EP] - aka "Early Player".
• 4️⃣ : [PT1] - aka "Play-Test One".

Lastly, we're glad to be welcoming four new members to the content creation team. Please say hi to @ocean belfry , @sturdy terrace , @acoustic flame and @plucky willow ! 👋

That's it for this week. Thank you again for following us in this wild ride, we'll be back with more news next week.

Hi everyone, we're back with some news!

First and foremost, the team wishes everyone a happy new year! We hope your year is off to an awesome start. Now that the year-end events are wrapped up, we've returned to game development for the past few days and are thrilled to start again our weekly updates.

The development of the playtest version is progressing smoothly, but we're not fully ready to announce a date just yet. Our goal is to ensure that once we announce a date, we're 100% sure we can deliver the playtest on time.

As a compensation, we've decided to add a second map for the playtest, named "Russian Building". Some of you might remember it as the very first map we used when we started working on the project, and it has now been heavily modified over the time, so we're excited to see your feedback on it.

Once again, we're grateful for everyone's support and patience. Expect more communication from us next week, and hopefully, we'll have even more exciting news to share.

@everyone <@&1144063119778394223>
Hi everyone, it's finally time for the big news!

Playtest announcements

We are glad to announce two different events that will take place over the coming week:

1️⃣ Stress-test debug phase, taking place today, on January 14, in 2 hours (<t:1705237200:R>).

• This phase is open to everyone wishing to participate and will be going on for 12 hours after opening, meaning until January 15 at 2am (UTC+1 › <t:1705280400:R>).
• The main purpose of this phase is for our team to check if everything is fine server-side (regarding player connecting/joining each other, leaving servers and joining other ones, etc). To make it simple, this is a test to see if we are fully ready to deploy the playtest phase.
• For this phase, the Steam system will randomly accept people between the registered access requests.

2️⃣ Playtest #1 phase, taking place on January 21st (<t:1705791600:R>).

• This phase is also open to everyone wishing to participate and will be going on for 24 hours after opening, meaning until January 22nd at midnight (<t:1705878000:R>).
• The main purpose of this phase is for our team to receive as much feedback from the players as possible to know what to fix and improve. If encounter any bug or want to give us any feedback, please make sure to read further to see how to report that to us.
• We will communicate the number of people accepted for the playtest phase later this week, so stay tuned.

Our answers to your potential questions

➡️ How do I participate in the stress-test debug and/or playtest phase?

• On Bodycam's Steam page you will see a new banner saying "Play the Bodycam Playtest now!", with a green "Play Now" button (refer to the screenshot).

Clicking on it will send a request to be accepted. We will use Steam's system which will randomly select a number of people to accept. Please note that we don't have any control over the random selection system.
Please note that once the stress-test debug phase begins, we will be removing the request access button for the duration of that first phase. Do not worry, as we will enable it back on January 15 at 2am (UTC+1 › <t:1705280400:R>).

➡️ What will I be able to discover?

• Since it's a playtest phase, you will only be able to play on a limited set of three maps: Worn House, Russian Building and Airsoft House. The two main games modes we developed, solo deathmatch and team deathmatch, are fully available during the playtest.

➡️ How much storage do I need to download the playtest version?

• We made sure that the playtest wasn't too heavy so as much people could download it. The Bodycam playtest version requires 17 GB of free space on your disc.

➡️ How do I report bugs or give feedbacks to the developers?

• We created a new channel, #1100168466687860787, where you will be able to report any kind of bugs or things you judge that has to be noticed by the developers. If you don't have any bugs to report but still want to give any feedback, please make sure to do so in #🌕┆feedback-stress-debug.

And that's it! If you have any other questions please make sure to ask it in the general chat.

We sincerely hope you will all like discovering Bodycam for the first time.

• We will try and fix as much bugs as possible before the global playtest session taking place on the 21st of January.

• We will reveal a roadmap of everything we'd like to add after Bodycam officially releases. More on that when we'll be back with the weekly updates.

• Once again, thanks to each and every one of you who took time to play and debug for this first session, it really means a lot to us! We'll be back stronger on the 21st.

Like last time, on Bodycam's Steam page you will see a new banner saying "Play the Bodycam Playtest now!", with a green "Play Now" button. Clicking on it will send a request to be accepted.

➡️ How much storage do I need to download the playtest version?

• The new playtest version size should be near last week's one, but as we are currently fixing some issues, the size might be a bit bigger. Try to save 20 GB of free space on your disc to ensure you'll be able to download the game.

➡️ How do I report bugs or give feedbacks to the developers?

• Like last week, we will be using two new channels: #1196879596071698533, where you will be able to report any kind of bugs or things you judge that has to be noticed by the developers. If you don't have any bugs to report but still want to give any feedback, please make sure to do so in #🚧┆feedback-playtest.

Once again, that's it! If you have any other questions please make sure to ask it in the general chat.

Hi everyone!

We have some great **news **to share with you today! Thanks to your valuable feedback during the playtest session, most of the issues encountered by players have now been fixed.

We are excited to present our roadmap for 2024, starting with the release of Bodycam in early access.

ㅤ

Since Q2 is already well underway and ends in late June, it isn't as packed as the other periods. However, this will give you an **idea **of the **direction **we're heading and the points we're revealing today.

At the start of each quarter, we will launch community requests, allowing you to vote for the best ideas to be integrated into the game. These ideas will come from the #1100168391844700170 channel where everyone can create suggestions and **vote **for their favorites.

It's important to note that this roadmap is not set in stone, and we will likely add new features based on our progress. This roadmap was determined as if we continued to work as a team of two, but with ongoing recruitment, the roadmap will expand in the future!

You can soon find more detailed points on our website: reissad.com/roadmap. We won't reveal everything, as we want to keep some **surprises **for you, and because in game development, it's possible to deviate a bit from the initial plan.

Thank you all, you can already start making suggestions now, and the first community request will begin in early July!

Have a great day, and see you in-game on <t:1717801200:F>!

@everyone
❤️ Servers are struggling a little bit from the more than 15.000 players currently online. It should get better soon!

[gritty egret]

<@&1144063119778394223>

Measure to help steam servers survive and let you get in lobbies :

HOST : CLICK PLAY > HOST A GAME > SELECT MAP

JOIN : USE THE SERVER BROWSER > CLICK ON NOT FULL SERVERS (9/10) > IF YOU GET KICK BY STEAM TRY AN OTHER SERVER UNTIL THIS WORK

we recommend that you host games to discover the game and that other players gradually join you.

It should get better soon!

[gritty egret]

<@&1144063119778394223>

PATCH :

- Lobby join optimization.

• Help message for hosts who do not understand that they need to launch the map
• Remove the ready button, the host just has to launch the game.

Thanks for your support guys !

[gritty egret]

<@&1144063119778394223>

PATCH :

  (Any untranslated text will default to English)

CHANGES FOR ROOKIE PLAYERS

• Rookie Lobbies: Rookie lobbies can only be joined by other rookies. Once a player surpasses the rookie rank, they will no longer have access to rookie lobbies.
• However, rookies can still join any other lobby, for example, if they have an experienced friend.
  The goal is for the rookie rank to be a transitional learning phase, while also making sure the experience is fun for newcomers. After just a few hours, they’ll rank up to Soldier and face more challenging battles!

UI

• Server Selection: The server selection will now suggest lobbies with players of your rank to better balance matches.
• Friend Scoreboard: You can now see your friends in the score menu.
• Bomb Indicator: Once dropped, the bomb will be constantly highlighted with a red square, making it easier to find, especially on maps with verticality.

Hi everyone, we're back with some studio news!

We've recently hit the 250k member mark on Discord, which is the server member cap. To allow new members joining the server, we've decided to prune the least active members. If you are seeing this message, then you shouldn't be affected.

We're also super thankful to everyone, as we received lots of positive comments and feedback on the recently launched Zombie mode! Bodycam has now more than 81% positive recent reviews on Steam, thank you!

We are currently collecting all bugs reports and feedback to deploy patches in the near future, so expect more polishing soon!

The entire team is super happy to see the community's reaction lately and we're more motivated than ever. Thank you!

Hey everyone! Léo and I were chatting about some dream game modes for Bodycam, and we’re curious to hear your thoughts (just for fun, nothing confirmed yet 😉).

For example:
• Bodycam Battle Royale
• Bodycam Extraction Shooter
• Bodycam Large Scale War (like Battlefield)
• Bodycam PVE (similar to Ready or Not)

Which of these would you love to see, or do you have other ideas in mind?

PS: The shop update and the zombie mode are coming soon, and we’re working on some other exciting things that we can’t wait to share with you!

<@&1144063119778394223> @everyone Bodycam Update V0.1.3.2 - <t:1730952310:D>

READ ON STEAM: coming soon

⚠️ WARNING:

• R-Points Reset & Shop Update: We have reset all players’ R-Points due to fixes addressing fraud issues and a rework of the point calculation system. To compensate, R-Points earned will be doubled during the first week!

this change is mainly for us to have a better r-points system and revert back some fraud we had to face

🆕 ADDED:

• Full Character Skins: We are transitioning from customizable parts to full character skins. This change allows for more detailed and cohesive skins, enhancing both visual quality and game optimization. It also simplifies customization by removing the need to match individual pieces, opening up new creative possibilities. If you had a skin you really liked before, send us a photo in the Suggestions channel—who knows, we might be able to recreate it!
• Unlocks: If you’ve previously unlocked specific items like hats, don’t worry—you’ll receive full character skins when they are released! Replacing all existing 300+ custom skins in the database will take time, so we appreciate your patience as we roll this out gradually.
• New Weapon Skins: Numerous new weapon skins, including seasonal themes like Halloween, have been added for greater customization variety.
• Shop with R-Points: The shop has been restructured to allow direct purchases with R-Points or real money. You can now view all unowned items in the locker to plan future acquisitions.

⭐ IMPROVEMENTS:

• Zombie Mode: Numerous fixes and optimizations have been made to improve gameplay and reduce recurring bugs.
• Zombie Respawn System: Players now respawn closer to their teammates in zombie mode.
• Zombie Spawns: Additional zombie spawn points have been added to prevent camping.
• Visual Character Improvement in Lobby: Enhanced character visuals in the lobby for better display quality.
• Group Members in Friend List: Group members are now highlighted in the friend list, making it easier to see who has joined your party.
• Blood System Improved: Reworked the blood system for more realism.
• Zombie R-Points Grant: You will now get R-Points when finishing a zombie mode game.

🔄 CHANGES:

• R-Points System: The R-Points calculation system has been completely reworked for better security and fairness.
• Map Improvements: Enhanced map layout based on community feedback for a smoother experience.
• Ragdoll Physics: Ragdoll movements have been refined to avoid unrealistic behavior.

🛠️ FIXES:

• Game Crash on Start: Fixed an issue causing crashes when starting a match.
• Low Character Quality: Resolved issues where character quality would appear too low at certain moments.
• Generator Activation: Fixed an issue where generators would activate at the end of the next wave instead of correctly at the current wave.
• Collision Bug in Pit Mode: Fixed a collision issue in Pit mode to ensure smoother gameplay.
• Head Shadows: Fixed a bug where head shadows aren't cast correctly.

Don’t forget to leave a review on Steam or purchase a small skin to support the game, it’s always appreciated! If you have any ideas or suggestions, we’re all ears!

[gritty egret]

Hello everyone! <@&1144063119778394223>

We understand that recent changes might have caused some confusion, so we wanted to clarify everything in one place. Here’s a breakdown:

• Store Update: We've highlighted the Reissad skin store so you can easily browse the daily skins.
• Permanent Skin Purchases: Skins can now be purchased at any time and viewed in your locker. This change was made in response to your feedback and due to Steam’s API limitations, which prevent hiding paid skins.
• R-Points System: The R-Points calculation system has been completely reworked for better security and fairness. As a result, R-Points have been reset, so all game modes are currently offering triple points (X3).
• Full Character Skins: We are transitioning from customizable parts to full character skins. This change allows for more detailed and cohesive skins, enhancing both visual quality and game optimization. It also simplifies customization by removing the need to match individual pieces, opening up new creative possibilities. If you had a skin you really liked before, send us a photo in the Suggestions channel—who knows, we might be able to recreate it!
• Unlocks: If you’ve previously unlocked specific items like hats, don’t worry—you’ll receive full character skins when they are released! Replacing all existing 300+ custom skins in the database will take time, so we appreciate your patience as we roll this out gradually.
• Weapon Customization: We’ve enhanced weapon customization by modifying 3D models directly for greater detail and personalization.

We’re seeing all your feedback and are actively working on adjustments. A hotfix is coming soon with some tweaks and clarifications to improve your experience.

We hope this clears up any confusion. Thank you for your patience and ongoing support!

Hey everyone,

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost six months since Bodycam’s release on June 7th! Since then, we’ve been working non-stop to push the game forward and explore exciting new opportunities.

Since the game’s successful launch, we’ve been able to seize new opportunities and invest heavily in resources and projects. We’re excited to announce these soon as we continue shaping the future of Bodycam.

A key part of this process is the new roadmap we’ve been preparing. We’re fully aware of the existing issues in Bodycam, especially those that stem from its origins as an independent project developed by just the two of us. Our goal with this roadmap is to take Bodycam to the next level by addressing these gaps and handing over tasks we’re not specialized in to professionals. This will allow us to focus on polishing the core game and evolving it beyond its current scope.

Alongside these improvements, we’re working on exciting new features that we can’t wait to share with you. Once the roadmap is finalized, we’ll post it so you can review and share your thoughts.

Right now, we’re on a 10-day trip to Japan and will be back in a few days. We’ve taken this time to recharge, reflect, and plan the next steps for Bodycam. It’s also been an incredible opportunity to meet people who might play an important role in the future of the game.

When we return, we’ll be ready to bring fresh energy and ideas to the table as we continue to improve the game and deliver exciting new updates.

Thank you for your trust and support. It means the world to us. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, feel free to share your thoughts or questions. Our team is always listening!

Take care,

Luca, Leo, & the Bodycam Team

<@&1144063119778394223> Bodycam needs your feedback! Resetting Leaderboards <t:1733223163:D>

Hey everyone,

We’re considering a reset for the multiplayer and zombie leaderboards in Bodycam, and we need your input! **Here’s the idea: **

• At the end of every 1-month season, the leaderboards will reset, giving everyone a fresh start to compete for the top spots.
• Previous ranks won’t be lost they’ll be saved in a dedicated section where you can view past seasons.
• To make it more rewarding, players will receive exclusive reward based on their ranks at the end of each season!

This change is designed to revitalize competition and give all players a fair chance to shine.

👉 What do you think? Let us know in the comments if this is a change you’d be excited about or if you have any concerns!

[gritty egret]

<@&1144063119778394223>

Hello everyone!

We’ve got two exciting updates to share, and we’d love your input on one of them. Here’s the breakdown:

1 - Public Beta Announcement
The next Bodycam update will soon be available as a public beta! This update introduces exciting new features, and we want your feedback before the official release.

• How to Join: Go to your game settings and switch to the public beta branch.
• Timing: We’ll send a second notification when the beta is live it’s not available yet but coming very soon!

2 - Feedback on Potential👈 Bot Integration
**We’re exploring adding bots to Bodycam and want your opinion on how this feature could improve the experience: **

• Host Control: Bots will only appear if the host enables them. This will be clearly displayed in the server list.
• Purpose: Bots will temporarily fill lobbies, especially in regions or times with fewer active players, keeping matches dynamic and enjoyable.
• Transparency: Bots will be labeled in the scoreboard but designed to blend in realistically during gameplay.
• Skill Adaptation: Bots will adjust to the skill levels of players in the lobby, offering a fair challenge for everyone.
• Future Potential: Over time, bots will become smarter, and this system will help us develop new game modes.

Would you like to see this feature in Bodycam? Let us know your thoughts we’re eager to hear from you!

Thank you for your continued support and feedback!

<@&1144063119778394223> @everyone Bodycam Update V0.1.3.3 - <t:1733937877:D>

READ ON STEAM: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2406770/view/509566179781640932

NOTE: This update focuses on new content, while bug fixes are being handled by a specialized team and will roll out progressively. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue improving Bodycam.

NEW CONTENT

• 🗺️ Rome (New Map): A large, intricately designed map featuring a mix of open spaces and tight corridors. Optimized for Bomb Mode, it introduces multiple strategic planting zones to intensify tactical gameplay.
• 🗺️ Logistics (New Map): One of the smallest maps in Bodycam, tailored for Versus Mode and 1v1 Duel Mode. Designed for close-quarters combat, it ensures action-packed matches as opposing teams face off head-to-head.
• 🔄 Oil Rig Returns: Back by popular demand, this map has been reintroduced with some incomplete features (e.g., missing floors). Improvements will continue based on community feedback.
• Tumblewood Temporarily Disabled: This map is currently under rework. Stay tuned for updates!

CHANGES

• 🎯 Bomb Mode Zones: Added strategic A, B, and C planting zones. Planting here cuts detonation time in half, offering more tactical depth. Default planting rules remain for strategic flexibility.
• Versus Rounds Adjustments: Reduced the number of rounds to win from seven to five. Sides now switch after two or three rounds, depending on progress, for faster, more dynamic matches.
• Lighting and Shadow Fixes: Shadows are now enforced for all players, preventing unfair advantages from file manipulation while maintaining immersion.
• ⚠️ Bad Host Punishment: Hosts that leave before the match ends will now be rank penalized.
• General Map Updates: Minor tweaks and adjustments have been made to improve gameplay flow and visuals across all maps.

FIXES

• 🔧 Lighting Exploits: Fixed bugs allowing players to disable shadows unfairly.
• Generator Timing in Zombie Mode: Resolved issues where generators activated at incorrect intervals.
• Collision in Pit Mode: Improved collision mechanics for smoother gameplay.
• Bomb Mode Timers: Adjusted planting and detonation mechanics for better balance.

OTHER CHANGES

• 🎨 8 new skins added.
• R point rewards and shop prices adjusted.
• Vaulting mechanics limited for realism and to prevent accessing unreachable spots.
• 🤝 Teams with friends now auto-balance better.
• Knife knockback adjusted.
• Grenade kills now count properly.
• Fixed collision and stuck spots across all maps.
• "The Pit" mode renamed to "Duel."
• 🚫 Kicking disabled in GunGame and Deathmatch modes due to abuse.
• Scoreboard and lobby settings improvements.
• Fixed labels in settings for better clarity.

RANK RESET & SEASONS (COMMUNITY SUGGESTION)
We are exploring the idea of a rank reset paired with a seasonal structure to enhance the competitive experience:

• ⏳ Season Duration: Each season will last 1-2 months, with ranks resetting at the end.
• Seasonal Rewards: Earn exclusive skins based on your rank at the season's end.
• 📜 Rank History: Track your performance and ranks across previous seasons in a dedicated section.

COMMUNITY QUESTION
💬 Should we start the next season immediately (with rewards distributed later) or wait until the reward system is fully implemented? Share your thoughts in the Suggestions channel!

Thank you for your continued support, and see you on the battlefield!

**Hello everyone! <@&1144063119778394223> **

We wanted to take a moment to update you on things. We know you’ve been waiting and like to hear from us, so here’s where we’re at right now:

We’re working on a big update that’s coming soon. It will include things like bots, the start of a new season, many bug fixes, and several new functionalities! It’s a very ambitious update that has taken a lot of time already, especially after the holiday season.

Meanwhile, we’ve been doing more than just working on the game. Over the past seven months, we have been navigating the world of game development, attending events and meeting amazing people, and even recruiting talent to help us lay a strong foundation for the future of BODYCAM and Reissad Studio!

With these collaborations, we will be able to push our capabilities even further with improving BODYCAM, delivering quality content, and polishing the game to the point of the full release out of early access!

We have three major announcements coming :

• A message about the evolution of Reissad Studio: who we’ve recruited, who we’re collaborating with, and most importantly, how these partnerships will benefit both Bodycam and the studio itself!
  We cannot wait to share this information with you, We’re confident this will be super exciting, and you’ll be hyped about the game’s future.

• The 2025 roadmap!
  Yes, we’re taking our time... but only to make sure it’s well thought out and achievable!
  We will present all the amazing features that it will include, share our vision, and even explain how we plan to bring them to life!

Hello everyone, <@&1144063119778394223>

We're still working on the roadmap, and everything we mentioned in the last message is coming. In the meantime, we wanted to get your thoughts on some potential changes to existing game modes and a few new ones we're considering.

If you have feedback or suggestions, drop them in the #1249538831061876769 channel!

Game Mode Concepts & Community Feedback

We're exploring some potential changes and additions to Bodycam’s game modes, and we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Body Bomb (Significant concept change)

• Each player gets a random weapon
• The opposing team will have the same weapon distribution, ensuring fair matchups
• Example:
  • A shotgunner will face another shotgunner
  • A sniper will face another sniper, etc.

Why this change?

• This update encourages strategy and teamplay
• Players must adapt their playstyle based on their assigned weapons
• It creates natural duels, balancing engagements across the map
• It reinforces team coordination, making communication more important than ever

Deathmatch (Major concept change)

• Players will now have custom loadouts
• You can set up your loadout before playing
• You can switch loadouts after each respawn

Why this change?

• This adds more personalization, allowing players to play with their preferred loadouts while keeping the fast-paced action

Concept Mode: Wingman (2v2 Competitive)

• 2v2 competitive format
• Features a loadout & economy system
• Players can buy weapons based on performance
• Choose between saving money or going all-in for a round

Why this mode?

• We want to create a highly competitive, skill-based mode where team synergy, strategy, and economy management are crucial

** Concept Mode: Hardpoint**

• Objective: Control and defend a zone against the enemy team
• Uses custom loadouts, like Deathmatch
• Players fight to hold and contest the zone

Why this mode?

• This mode focuses on teamwork and strategy, encouraging coordinated plays and smart positioning to hold objectives

Gun Game (No change)

• A new weapon is assigned after each kill
• The game ends when a player gets a kill with the final weapon

Versus (No change)

• Weapons remain randomized
• Both teams have the same weapons for balance

🔴 **[ISSUE RESOLVED] Steam Sessions Are Back ! <@&1144063119778394223> ** 🔴

Well well well,

The Steam errors have finally been fixed, and you can now join matches normally again! 🎉

This issue occurred after a Steam maintenance, and unfortunately, it took them a long time to identify and resolve the problem. On our side, we were completely powerless, waiting for their responses and looking for solutions without being able to act directly.

We’re truly impressed by how quickly you adapted, with many of you adding each other as friends to keep playing despite the issue. What an incredible community you are! 💙

We’ll do everything we can to prevent this from happening again, but unfortunately, some things in a game are beyond our control.

Meanwhile, we’re hard at work on the next update, aiming for a release by March 14 if everything goes as planned. Stay tuned for more details soon! 🔥

Thank you for your patience and support. See you in-game! 🎮

From Steam:
We're not yet actually sure what the real issue is though, so we're going to add more logging related to your appID in our lobby server. But for the fix, we basically had to restart the lobby server that hosted your app. That server also hosted many other apps though (like 7 Days to Die, Split Fiction, and others). Those other apps all worked fine...

[gritty egret]

<@&1144063119778394223> – Controller Feedback

Hey everyone,

We’d love to get your feedback on using a controller in Bodycam. We know that many of you play with a controller using Steam Input, as there’s currently no native controller support in the game. However, thanks to Steam Input, you can connect your controller and use presets created by other players to customize your controls.

**We’d like to hear your thoughts on a few things: **

• How smooth does the movement feel with a controller?
• Does the aiming sensitivity and general sensitivity feel right?
• What button layout do you primarily use?
• Any issues you’ve encountered (aiming, shooting, movement, etc.)?

**On top of that, we want to gather as much information as possible: **

• How do you feel compared to playing on keyboard & mouse? Do you feel stronger, weaker?
• How do close-quarters fights feel? What about long-range engagements?
• Do you struggle to turn around quickly?
• Do you find yourself bumping into walls or having trouble moving efficiently?
• Can you aim downwards properly at enemies below you?
• Are grenade throws, item pickups, weapon swaps, weapon drops, flashlight & laser activation easy to do?
• What button do you use for proximity chat?
• Are there any limitations or advantages compared to playing on PC?

If you have any suggestions or issues to report, feel free to drop them in the #1249538831061876769 channel on Discord.

Quick Steam Input Guide
If you want to play with a controller, here’s how to enable Steam Input:

1. Launch Bodycam as usual.
2. Press Alt-Tab to open Steam.
3. Go to Settings > Controller and enable Steam Input.
4. You can then choose an existing layout or create your own in the templates section.

I’m also sharing a tutorial to help you set up your controller properly. Try it out, tweak the settings, and let us know what you think.
Thanks for your help !

Let us know your experience with the current implementation and if it needs improvement!
The last thing in the 2024 roadmap is done! (lol)

OTHER CHANGES & FIXES

• Rank point not received fixed
• The game has been optimized further, but we’re still ironing out the issues introduced in 1.3.4.
• Upscale Quality, Anti‑Aliasing and TAA Upsampling settings work again!

<@&1144063119778394223> Bodycam Bodycam QNA – July 2025

Hey everyone,

We’ve been working full-speed on the next big updates for Bodycam but while we're deep in development, we wanted to reconnect with you and get your thoughts on some of the things we're planning.

👉 We’ve just released a community questionnaire! It covers multiple topics: gameplay, features, future ideas some already in the works, others still just concepts. Your feedback will help us decide what directions to push further.

⚠️ Nothing in the form is guaranteed or confirmed yet. Many questions are there just to test your reactions to potential features, even bold ones. Please answer honestly!

🔗 Fill out the form here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdN16VDCnNhCJ4B65S9WZbYJ0fa176s31Vifoxcmw0fO9-Efg/viewform?usp=dialog

🧠 CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT’S COMING NEXT?
If you haven’t seen it yet, we also posted a full dev update with a sneak peek at what's ahead:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2406770/view/523092648628585123

Right now, we're focused on the two biggest updates in Bodycam’s yet (outside of the optimization patch coming very soon). These updates are huge, and there are a lot of dependencies between systems, which means things take time but once it all drops, we believe it’s going to radically improve and expand the game.

We’re super excited. The studio’s growing fast, and with a bigger team, we’re able to tackle more creative challenges while continuing to scale up technically and structurally.
We’re also getting ready to deliver more frequent updates and live operations in the future and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Thanks again for all your support ❤️

📢 <@&1144063119778394223> Small Update from the Team

Hey everyone, I hope you’re doing well!
I wanted to share a quick update, even though we usually post some progress in the #👀┆dev-leaks channel from time to time.

We’re currently working on some major updates that are so big we can’t really release them halfway done. It takes time, but we’re definitely on the right track especially regarding the performance update. We’ve done huge optimization passes, and even upgraded the engine from UE 5.2 to 5.5 (the latest version of Unreal Engine). This has been a very deep technical update focused on improving performance across the board.

Next up is the Loadout Update, which is coming soon. There’s still a lot of animation work to finish on the new weapons we want to add. To avoid delaying too much, we’ll release the update without every new weapon ready, and then gradually add them in future patches.

As for the Zombie map it’s shaping up to be something quite special. We’re preparing a video devlog to showcase all these updates, because we realized so much has been happening and a lot of people are waiting for news. The video will have a voice-over explaining what we’re working on and why it takes time.

On top of that, the studio itself is growing. We now have a bigger team, new organization, and even other projects in the works. Don’t worry — this doesn’t slow down Bodycam, since it’s handled by additional staff. These new projects are very exciting, and we’ll share more when the time is right.

One last thing: if you’re going to Gamescom in Cologne this year I’ll be there on Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd. If you want to say hi, feel free to DM me here on Discord. If I get a lot of requests, I might create a small group so we can all meet up together. It will be a pleasure to meet you and chat about the project in person!

I know it feels like a long wait, but big things are coming. We’ll also try to post more often in #devleak with photos and short clips from the studio and from Bodycam, so you can follow our progress more closely.

Thanks again for all your support it really means a lot. ❤️

📢 Bodycam Video Devlog ! @everyone <@&1144063119778394223>

Hey everyone,
We’re super excited to share with you our first official Bodycam Video Devlog! We go behind the scenes and talk about some of the big features coming soon:

• Loadouts – customize your gear and adapt your playstyle
• Zombie Mode – A new map with new features, secrets and more!
• New Content & Updates – fresh features, improvements, and surprises

The updates we’re preparing are pretty big, and we don’t want to release them half-finished.
That’s why we decided to take time with it, and we really appreciate your patience.
What you see in the video is just part of the journey we've had developing the updates, and there’s even more happening behind the scenes that we can’t reveal just yet.

And it’s not only about gameplay: we also have other exciting projects in progress that we can’t wait to share with you when the time comes 👀

👉 Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/ZaowUvvJ-As

💬 Don’t hesitate to share your feedback on the vlog and its content we’d love to hear what you think!

Thank you all again for your incredible support 💙 We can’t wait to show you more!

[gritty egret]

@everyone<@&1144063119778394223> Hey everyone!
We’ve shared a long post on Steam covering the last six months of Bodycam: optimization, new content, studio growth, and what’s next for the game.

I hope this gives you a bit more insight into everything we’ve been working on. The goal was to be as transparent as possible and touch on many different topics updates, the studio, and more. We really hope you’ll enjoy it, and thank you all for your amazing support ❤️

Read it here 👉 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2406770/view/509592630758212188

By the way, we’ve also posted quite a lot of new things in the #👀┆dev-leaks channel for those who haven’t seen them yet. The idea is that we can drop all sorts of stuff there sometimes very early, sometimes just prototypes without necessarily adding long comments. We think it’s cool, so feel free to check it out if you’re interested in seeing behind-the-scenes work-in-progress content!

@everyone Hi everyone!

We know you were eagerly waiting for the news, here it is: the Halloween Update has grown beyond its initial scope and became a Major Update, that needs a little bit more time to be polished. This preview is just a glimpse of what will be deployed and what has been fixed/reworked/improved.

In the next couple of weeks, we will communicate more on the features that will be available and we will provide you with more gameplay, benchmarks and other screenshots about the update.

Also. Hi, my name is Kane. It's very nice to meet you.

Greetings, Operators. <@&1144063119778394223>

This is the moment you were waiting for. **The Zombie & Polished Major Update is now live on Steam. **

As previously mentioned, this update is packed with optimizations, two new maps - CQB Powergun & Village, exclusive to the Zombie Mode -, a full rework of Worn House, and the foundation of what is next for Bodycam.

With now over 100 people working on the game, we are bringing the horsepower to our vision, with the goal to deliver really impactful and meaningful updates. It indeed takes more time, but at the end of the day, more content, all meeting our standards, is being and will be delivered.

This update is an important milestone but doesn’t mean we’re done. **Far from it. **

3 major pillars are tackled in this update.

Performance, Stability, and how we took your feedback into account

We updated the game from Unreal 5.2 to 5.5, and we reworked all the major maps, and most importantly, improved our internal processes. 

Let’s adress the elephant in the room: servers, anti-cheat, and UI rework are still in progress in parallel. They require a lot of work - and thus time -, but they remain very high priorities for the studio. ```

**The New Zombie Map: Village**

```It’s our biggest Zombie map to date.

It’s a laboratory for us in this horrific, visceral experience: some of the ideas we’re experiencing in Zombie Mode might make their way to the multiplayer mode, for instance the crossbow. 

Working with such a huge playground has brought us a great experience in handling more bots, optimizing, and working with new systems.

Please note that while Zombie Mode is a fantastic way to pick up the game, team up with friends and have instant fun, we will focus on the heart of the game, which is the multiplayer experience.```

**The CQB Powergun is coming!**

```It’s our biggest multiplayer map we’ve ever shipped. And it’s also based on a real airsoft location in France. Let us know if you’ve recognized the vicinity! It was a brand new experience for us to reproduce a real place and we cannot wait for you to play!```

**It’s far from being over.** We have already shared a glimpse of what we call internally the Loadout Update. Since the preview and the devlog, many things have changed, many processes have been improved, but it’s still a solid chunk of what’s coming next! Thank you for your support, it means the world to us.

[quaint thunder]

Dear Operators,

Thank you so much for providing us with your feedback for this Major Update, it really helps us to hunt down and fix the issues you can experience. The team is already hard at work to fix them and most of your issues have been reported to the devs.

Stay tuned for more details. Rest assured that we are focused on delivering a great experience and while we're extremely happy to see that more players can now enjoy the Bodycam experience, we won't stop until the critical issues are addressed, from the grain effect, to DX11 or issues with applying your settings and more.

In the meantime, please keep reporting any issues you're encountering.

Before opening a ticket, please be sure to provide us with as much information as possible about your PC specs and whatever you've already tried to fix the issues (ie: reinstall, repair files, update drivers, etc).

You should also try this and see if it doesn't fix your issue:

Delete the Saved folder in \AppData\Local\Bodycam
Repair the files or make a fresh reinstall
Re-apply your graphic settings

Maps can also take some time to load for the very first time, but once it's done, cached and compiled, it should be much smoother.

We wanted to thank you for your feedback and support, it really means a lot to us.
