CBT2 Post-Mortem (Jan-Feb 2026)

The "Paws Up" Beta (CBT2) concluded on February 6, 2026. Data from this test period highlights both technical triumphs and UI/UX friction points.

Top Player Feedback Points:

  • Hidden Chat UI: The most significant complaint concerned the default "immersive" UI which hid the chat box, making multiplayer coordination difficult. The February 6 patch partially addressed this by auto-enabling team chat upon joining a group.
  • Evolution Clarity: Players struggled with vague evolution requirements. The developers responded by adding coordinate tracking and clearer text descriptions for complex evolutions (e.g., Piopiota).
  • Prismana Forms: Bugs preventing the form-switching of Iris and Ignitis were a major pain point, patched just before the beta ended.

The "Reunion Promise" Event

To drive retention between the beta and the Summer 2026 launch, the developers introduced the "Reunion Promise."

  • Mechanic: Beta participants could "seal" one specific Aniimo.
  • Reward: This sealed Aniimo will be transferable to the live game at launch, creating an emotional anchor for returning players.

Cross-Platform Considerations

With a confirmed release on PC, Mobile, and Xbox, performance remains a variable.

  • PC: DX12 optimization was a focus in the final beta patches to reduce stuttering.
  • Console/Mobile: The complexity of physics interactions (e.g., weight-sensitive lily pads) raises questions about parity on lower-end mobile devices, though specific mobile performance data is currently sparse.
