Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, Early Access provides me with a unique opportunity to involve you, the passionate players, in the development of my game right from the start. I believe that by releasing the game in this early stage, we can embark on this journey together and create something truly special.

During Early Access, I'm eager to collaborate closely with you, the community, to gather valuable feedback, suggestions, and insights. Your input will be instrumental in shaping the direction of the game and ensuring it meets your expectations. Together, we can make this game the best it can be.

By joining me in Early Access, you'll have a front-row seat to witness the game evolve and grow over time. You'll have the opportunity to experience new content, gameplay updates, and improvements as I work tirelessly to bring my vision to life. Your feedback will guide my decisions, and I'll be actively listening to your thoughts and ideas.

Please keep in mind that Early Access is a work-in-progress version of the game, and you may encounter bugs, unfinished features, and other rough edges. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated as I continue to refine and polish the game based on your invaluable feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Its hard to tell how long the development will take before leaving early access. it's important for me to ensure that the game reaches a level of quality and content that satisfies both myself and the community. While I don't have an exact timeline at this stage, my current plan is to continue working on the game for an estimated period of around 2-3 years during the Early Access phase.”

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

“Since this game is a work in progress both on content as much as its overall roadmap, the final product seen in its entirety is yet also a bit of a mystery to myself, and is probably best described as being the "complete" version, which I plan to have a span of around 5-6 contracts incl. various playmodes. That is my goal, and that is what I will be working towards best I can!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state features the core basics and beginning of the game. The "gunmans base", which includes various weapons to store, mod and customize, a set of gunrange highscore courses and a few demo areas including bullet penetration panels, ragdoll demonstration and enemy face off challenges.

Currently work in progress: the first Gunman contract, which is aimed to be included in the initial Early Access launch.”

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

“The plan is to start the price low, since the game will feature very limited content in the begining, and increase the price from time to time to reflect its content.”

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

“The Community has a special place in this project. Starting out as a mod for Half-Life: Alyx, getting feedback and inspiration from the community pushed me to expand my first Gunman Contracts mod with a second chapter, and ultimately to making this game.

Going forward, I intend do continue this process and deepen my ties with my customers, which is why I have created an official Discord-Server for players to join and contribute with feedback, bugreports, ideas and inspiration:
