Why Early Access?

“We are a small team with limited resources that wanted to make a truly fun couch multiplayer game. However, we knew that developing a game of this scope and quality would be a challenge. That's why we turned to Early Access as a way to not only receive feedback and connect with a community of like-minded gamers who could help us shape and refine our vision. Early Access gives us the opportunity to collaborate and iterate in real-time, and we can't wait to see where this journey takes us.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While we are aiming to release our game within the first year of Early Access but you know plans are subject to change.”

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

“Our vision is to create memorable moments for our players as they play our game.

* Player (Commander) Level & Progression System for players to enjoy our game.
* Unlock New Parts & Customize Tank System to give diversity and depth to players with different play styles.
* Map Editor: Allowing our players to express themselves in our games.
* Co-op Mode: Survive Together Hoard Shooter style experience.
* Game Modes: King of The Hill, Team Deathmatch, etc.
* Online Multiplayer”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We already have a great working game with many maps and different layouts, including 10+ power-ups that add fun and surprise elements for our players. However, we are not stopping there. We have many more features planned to be added, and we are excited to hear the amazing ideas our community will come up with.”

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

“At this time, we don't have a definitive plan for pricing, While we may gradually increase prices as we move toward the full release, we are committed to keeping the game affordable and accessible to all. We appreciate your support and feedback as we continue to develop and improve our game. Our priority is to ensure that everyone can enjoy our game with their friends, without pricing it out of reach.”

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

“Community is essential to us, and we're always looking for ways to connect with new players and engage with our existing fans. Currently, we're using Discord as our primary community platform, where we encourage players who have enjoyed watching our social media posts to join and become a part of the Bumper Tanks development process. We have a dedicated suggest-a-feature channel, where we collect ideas from our community on what features they want to see in the game.

We also have a dedicated tester group, who help us define and clear out bugs before we release new versions of the game. This group is essential to ensure that our game is polished and bug-free before it is released to the public.

Finally, we will be closely monitoring the reviews on Steam to see what our players love and hate about the game. We believe this feedback is essential to improving our game and making it the best it can be for our community.”
