Wozu Early Access?

„We want to develop BLAMMO! in tandem with the community (as cheesy as that sounds it's true), as Roguelites require such a large amount of iteration to get balance feeling just right and the best people to help get that feeling right is the community.

We want to straddle a few different sub genres - like Inventory Management, Action Shooter, Roguelite and a heavy does of Narrative, so ensuring they all blend together well will take a lot of feedback and iteration.

As a Studio we have always relied on a large amount of player feedback to tune our games (for other titles we do 100s of private external playtests), and this is an exciting way for us to get that feedback from the public and really fine-tune this title.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„This is our first Early Access but we expect Early Access to last around 6-9 months, depending on feedback and our content rollout.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„We plan to have the full version contain more weapons, characters, ships and enemies. So the scope of the game should increase via access to more content. But hey maybe during this process we find out less is more?! That's why we're excited by Early Access for this. However the gameplay and core loop should remain the same.

As the game design is still under development and we haven't shared anything with the public we are unsure exactly which elements of the game will receive the most content updates.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The current state of the game is in pre-alpha and has a simple game loop with placeholder UI. It's fun already but we plan to update this as development proceeds and look to release this for players when it's more robust.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„The goal is to keep this as a low priced title even as we reach 1.0 however we will start with a lower introductory price during the Early Access period.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We'll be sharing regularly on SMG's social channels (X, Youtube, Tiktok) and the Steam community page to gauge feedback on ideas and openly develop this game with everyone. We will also be hosting playtest sessions and feedback rounds. Again these will be organised via our social channels.“
