Valves Dota 2 Reborn with a new engine and user interface

#Source2 #announced back in March, #Valve only showed short features of Dota 2? And soon we will have access to the new look and feel of Reborn.

Today we are announcing the Dota 2 Reborn Beta, which brings with it a new interface, new engine and Custom Games. Everything in the dashboard has been completely redesigned utilizing a new UI framework, and the engine that powers the game has been fully replaced. On today’s update page we will be giving you a preview of the new interface. Early next week we’ll be talking about Custom Games, and later that week we’ll conclude with various details about the new engine and launch the open beta.

Throughout the beta we’ll be releasing frequent updates in order to fix bugs and make changes based on the feedback you provide. As you browse around in the new client, you’ll notice a few things that aren’t fully functional yet. Additionally, our focus has been on the dashboard so you’ll find the in-game HUD currently looks the same.

We want you to help us during the beta with your suggestions and bug reports. Our intention is to keep gameplay and heroes looking and feeling the same, so if you find anything unexpected please let us know. We’ll be bringing the update out of beta some time after The International to ensure we have enough time to respond to all of your feedback.

Valve are you looking to implement ‘Guided Bot Matches’, an AI director and tutorials guies you through games. “Striking a careful balance between providing enough information to be interesting, and not so much as to be overwhelming, these tutorials should be fun and educational for any beginning player, and give them a taste of what it’s like to play a full game of Dota.”

Next week Valve will include more detail about things such as custom games, which are mods. And not currently supported, these changes are in alpha, and can only be download as an add-on for Reborn. Next week we will have more about the new engine with access to the beta.
