Why Early Access?

“BlastBall: All-Stars already has five sports ready to play, and we want to get them into players' hands while we build toward our bigger vision. Early Access gives us room to expand the game with players and get active feedback on what they love most.

We want to learn which sports, characters, and arena twists keep you coming back, then use that feedback to guide what we add and refine. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last around one to two years. ”

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

“We plan to expand the full version with additional characters offering unique playstyles, special abilities, more sports and game modes, updated character animations, and improvements to balance and overall polish.

We are also working to finish alternate arenas designed to change how you play, with twists such as rabbit holes that redirect the action, trick shots that reward extra points, and bustling crosswalks. Player feedback will help us decide which ideas to develop further and where to focus our improvements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is fully playable with up to four players across five sports: Soccer, Air Hockey, Gagaball, Volleyball, and Tennis. Computer-controlled opponents can fill out matches, so you can play even without a full group. Early versions of player abilities and alternate stages are being tested.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features during Early Access and work toward the full release.”

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

“Our Discord is the main place to get involved through community events, beta tests, and feedback sessions. We want to hear what makes a great match, which characters and arenas need work, and what you'd like to play next. That feedback will help guide balancing, improvements, and development priorities.

We also gather feedback at live events and expos, drawing on our university connections to bring players together for hands-on testing. ”
