Why Early Access?

“We set out to make the ultimate casual light gun shooter, full of what we think is the most fun in a gun game, but now it needs player feedback and involvement to make sure it hits that bar for as many people as possible.

Our goal is to be the game you fire up if you've only got a few minutes to play and want a fast blast with your weapon of choice.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are hoping to be in early access for around 6-8 months, but this could change. We will leave Early Access when we are certain it's an absolutely feature rich, solid, and satisfying experience.”

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

“We plan to keep developing Blunderbusted beyond the initial full version release, so this list will expand over time.

PLANNED FULL VERSION FEATURES

• Two Additional biomes
  
• Additional enemy types
  
• Boss battles
  
• More and crazier powerups
  
• Score attack challenges
  
• Achievements
  
• More interactables
  
• Online leaderboards
  
• Community suggested feature (maybe from you!)

We're really looking forward to expanding this list as the community gets involved.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version delivers the core experience of a fun quick play blast as intense as you want.

EARLY ACCESS FEATURES

• Classic arcade style action
  
• Quick play sessions
  
• Strategic weapon & powerup selection
  
• Fun stage interactables
  
• Target practice range for relaxing, calibrating, and testing weapons
  
• Support for all major light guns (Sinden, Ultimarc, Gun4IR, etc.)

We are working to make sure the foundations are solid first, and will expand features and add content regularly throughout Early Access based on player feedback.”

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

“We are offering a discounted price during Early Access to help build our community. The price will increase after we have a solid player base providing feedback, and will hit full price shortly before leaving Early Access.”

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