What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“PBA Basketball Slam: Arcade Edition is the PC version of the popular mobile game Basketball Slam 2020. This PC version allows up to 4 players to play together via local multiplayer or play with their friends remotely via Steam Remote Play. All the important and precious feedbacks we got from the mobile version made us decide to bring Basketball Slam to PC in order for us to enhance the game further, to allow more players to enjoy the game, and to help us improve the game as we intend to add more features as we go through development.

Having it on Early Access will also allow us to reach out for community support and to understand their needs and suggestions so that we can polish the game even more and get the fans involved in the process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access until Q4 2020. Depending on how our development progresses we could either release earlier or later.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The following are the planned features for the full version of the game
  • Campaign Mode
  • Create player feature
  • Updated team rosters
  • More basketball court locations
  • More Polished Gameplay
  • More Polished User Interface
  • More Music and Voice Overs.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early access version will have the following features
  • PBA Team and Roster
  • 2v2 Basketball Game
  • Quick Game Mode
  • Local Multiplayer mode up to 4 players
  • Enhanced user interface

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price as more features and content becomes available in the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“PBA Basketball Slam: Arcade Edition will be in an ongoing state of constant updates and improvements until all the features that we planned are developed and the game completely released. We are excited to work with the community with this game, beginning with our more than 300 thousand Facebook followers. We intend to communicate with them as feedback from players is important especially to a small indie team like ours. The better the community get involved the better the game will become.

We also set up a discord channel so we can get feedbacks directly from the players and host tournaments and play testing using Steam Remote Play.
