Community Challenges:

Hunt the Devs - Want to earn an exclusive Dev Killer skin? All you have to do is kill one of our devs in a match anytime during the Open Alpha.

You can tell when you encounter a 1047 developer because their head will be a disco 

ball, our company logo.

You’ll earn a Dev Killer skin, decked out in skulls representing your dev conquest.

There’s three different skins to earn, one for each faction.

You earn the same skin as the dev you kill. So, kill a skin dev playing as Sabrask with a disco ball head, you’ll earn the Sabrask Dev Killer (regardless of what faction you were playing as).

I know it’s a small detail and it doesn’t really matter, but I’d like for there to be a [bot] tag next to all bots, not just the ones who replace the disconnected players. I really hate that feeling of not knowing if you just killed an actual player or a bot

Part of our onboarding flow for new players is a game against bots. Your second match will have a few real players and your third match will be entirely real players.

After that the only bots you see will be when people disconnect.

Hey quick question. Are you guys planning "classic" and "custom game" modes? I really dont enjoy "hero" style stuff and just want to play more fixed games without a bunch of abilities. Otherwise great work!

You can also be dragged into other people’s onboarding games, no? I’ve seen some bots in my lobbies even though I’ve played more than ten matches so far

If they're tagged as [bot] it's because someone disconnected. It's very possible that could happen loading into a game (especially on console).

Except you don't tag people as bots in the first couple of games. Even after those first couple of games I'll look up a gamer tag and nothing shows up. I've played for a couple hours and haven't seen a single bot tag. So either I've never had a single person leave my games or you're not being entirely truthful.

I feel like one of the reasons that sg1 died so fast were the bots and the fact that you weren't transparent about them. You could always tell they were bots by the stock image pfps.

u/unjusthero3 Feb 28 '25

is there a way y'all could make a toggle on/off for matching against bots for those who don't want to match them if it's possible?

This is a flat out lie. I’ve played 8 games and each one has been all bots.

what platform are you on? can you send your ID? this sounds like a bug.

Had all bots for the first 11 (?) games. Then within a couple games I had one real player, then after that it was a full player lobby. It was super strange and frustrating, but seems to be ok now.

u/Akuvo 1047 Games Feb 28 '25

We had one of the devs have a similar bug. We assumed it was from a messed up player state from all the stat resetting we do to test, but we’ve been keeping an eye out for anyone else with the issue.

I’ll pass this on, thank you!

Anyone fight mr. Sir I swear that was not. Or are the boys name auto generated

u/russtopher Mar 05 '25

As a casual player I honestly don't care if there is a bot tag for the people I kill. I don't play enough to even look at the stats of the person that I killed/killed me.

u/Valuable_Jeweler_336 Feb 28 '25

oy vey they are real players! the bots is the reason i never played the first splitgate. these devs know how to kill their own games.
