- Thank You - 13 April 2018
We’ve made the difficult decision to retire Streamline. The game was a radical experiment. We saw the amazing communities springing up all over Twitch and wondered why no developer had made a game specifically for them. The goal of Streamline and Streamote was to make the ultimate live stream game. That meant deep integration into Twitch to make it easy for broadcasters and viewers to play together, game modes that were exciting to watch, and interactivity for viewers to be part of the game. I think we accomplished all of those things. To hit that level of innovation, our small team needed to pull focus from other areas of the game. If we could do it all over again, I think we would put more focus into team multiplayer game modes, a more relatable theme, better communication of the narrative, and deeper combat. We also fell short on distribution. Our strategy was to get the broadcaster…

- Welcome to Streamline, Humble Bundle purchasers! - 16 February 2017
It's been so great to see so many new faces jumping into Streamline matches since the Humble Freedom Bundle went on sale! I just want to take a few moments to welcome you all to the community and give you a few tips for finding your way around. If you haven't said hi on our Discord server yet, that's a great first stop. That's where the core community tends to hang out and it's a great place to find a group of people to play with, to ask questions, get support and tips, announce your live streams, and just get to know everyone. The development team is also available there from around 10am-6pm EST every weekday! One of the unique features of Streamline is its integration with Streamote, the web interface we developed to give viewers a chance to directly interact with the games they're watching on Twitch.

If you get excited for game updates that are all about fixing stuff up, well…you better hold onto your butts…Streamline 2.6 is here! We geared up and busted a bunch of bugs to make the world game a safer place for all of humanity players. Seriously, though, this update is mostly focused on tidying up while we prepare some bigger content that still needs to bake a little longer. More stuff, coming soon! Now, all the fixes! Actual footage of our dev team working on this release Gameplay stuff Teams will no longer become uneven when Players join a Bitball game mid-match. Fair game is fair! Charged throws during Bitball now correctly trigger passing bonuses. Go long! The Ragdoll rule was causing horrific disfigurations instead of silly floppiness. Sorry for the nightmares! Fixed an issue where Bitball players couldn’t punch former teammates during the following pre-match free play. Alliance…
- Streamline 2.5: Making the (Bitball) world a betterer place - 17 January 2017
New year, new improved Streamline! Streamline 2.5 is a big one in terms of tweaking and fixing some of the big features that were introduced in the last update. We cleaned up a slew of Bitball quirks, drastically improved the Steam friends feature, gave you all the monitor resolutions your system craves, made the spawn points less tragic, and put our exterminator hats on while we blasted away a bunch of bugs. Basically, we betterized™ the game, because we love you. Bitball: Now with 100% more fixes! Everyone’s favorite new team mode was the star of the last Streamline update but, like any shiny new thing, we discovered some things about it after it was released that needed a bit more shine. Winter blues (but…a good kind)! To cut down on confusion, your team is now always Blue, and the opposing team is always Red. Your clothes are also no longer recolored in Bitball matches. Instead, pla…
- 2.4 needed some love! (patch notes for fix-it release 2.4.65) - 21 December 2016

Fixed players sometimes having "(1)" appended to their name. Players who quick match and then leave the match will now correctly leave the Streamote party. Fixed issues where players would get stuck in the "throwing ball" animation. Generally improved netcode for movement/attacks/throwing. Fixed the rewards screen at end of match not appearing sometimes. A few other miscellaneous crash fixes. Fixed Bitball scoreboards not showing up or not updating in Streamote sometimes. Fixed a hole in the geometry in Overpass that the Bitball could fall through and get stuck forever. Fixed floating graffiti in Long Wharf. Fixed invisible geometry in Deepwater.

- 2.2, Overpass is back! - 28 October 2016
Streamline The Overpass map is back! Points collected just before Sudden Death in Tag no longer respawn. Random point orbs will not drop during Sudden Death in Tag. During Hunter selection, chat is hidden so you can see the player list. Fixed a handful of rare crashes with parties. Chat no longer breaks when switching between game modes or when the host leaves. Party UI shows who the leader is. Show a countdown until players respawn or can spectate. Players should no longer spawn in red zones or near the Hunter. Fixed some performance problems if some audio settings were dropped to 0. Fixed spectator mode occasionally breaking, especially during Tag games. Killing a runner as the Hunter in Tag mode now correctly gives full boost to the former Hunter. Tag mode now indicates who the hunter is in the upper-left of the screen. Fixed Ripperino bonus. Reduced the "glitch" FX to be easier on t…
- 2.1 hotfix - 22 October 2016
Couple of quick fixes this afternoon: The new map, Overpass, has been temporarily disabled due to bad spawn points. It'll be back soon! We've removed a few of the ghost-only bonuses from Tag. Players couldn't trigger them but they were still showing up on Bingo cards on Streamote. In-game Twitch chat should be fixed and will no longer spam error messages when it can't connect to the chat servers. Chat should also no longer break when leaving a match and joining a new one. Fixed a few rare crashes due to race conditions. There's still a known issue with chat and switching between game modes, however. Chat will occasionally break if you switch between Tag and Elimination. If you leave the rejoin the match, it should fix the issue. A proper fix for this will be coming soon!
- 2.1 is live with Halloween, a new game mode, and a new map! - 22 October 2016
Streamline It's the Spoopiest Time of Year! We've added a bunch of limited-time only Halloween gear!

Alternate between hunting and running for points! As the Hunter, if you tag someone, they become the new Hunter and you become a Runner. Tag works especially well for games with a smaller number of people. You're it! A New Map: Overpass Truly a highway to the... I'm not even going to finish that sentence. But it's a new map! Rock Band Shirts! To celebrate the launch of Rock Band Rivals and Rock Band VR, we're giving everyone two different Rock Band shirts. Twitch Chat in Game If you're playing with a streamer, you can see (but not yet respond to) their Twitch chat directly in game. :PogChamp…
- Hunter Grading fixed in build 2.0.34 - 10 October 2016
Just a quick fix for Hunter grading: The Hunter can now receive grades other than an F-. It should also easier to get Bs/As/Ss now too. Sorry, we know you've been playing better than that!
- Hotfix 2.0.33 - 4 October 2016
Some quick fixes, hot off the return from TwitchCon! When a player leaves a Quick Match, they’re dropped from the host’s party. This should mean old parties aren't empty of players but "full" from a party perspective. When the host leaves the game, their Quick Match party is dropped from the game and the party. Fixed sounds that were previously marked global and were avoiding the wrath of the sound slider. For example, Deep Water and Long Wharf’s bouncers should be WAY less noisy now and you shouldn’t hear the hunter killing people from across the map.
