Why Early Access?

“We want to keep getting DiART Paintball better together with the community.

The core gameplay — shooting, movement, and game modes — is already solid, but we want to refine map design, balancing, and overall feel based on you opinions.

We also plan to expand visual customization options and add full gamepad and Steam Deck support.

New maps and multiplayer modes are in development, along with progression systems and leaderboards inspired by community input.

Before full release, we are developing a single-player career mode that captures the essence of the sport; progressing from your first experience to pro level. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Around 12 months.”

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

“For full release we plan to expand on content:

Additional multiplayer maps

Customization for markers and gear (purely cosmetic)

A single-player career mode with progression and rewards

Quality-of-life improvements, refined animations, and UI polish”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access build includes:

Tutorial
Offline mode with bots
Online multiplayer (FFA, TDM)

Seven playable maps with different layouts and personality, based on the progression of your paintball journey

Core systems: shooting, reloading, leaning, footsteps, splatters, and 3D audio

Stable networking and lobby system

It is already fun and competitive, but we’re actively refining performance, map variety, and balance.”

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

“Yes, the final release may have a slightly higher price to reflect the additional content and polish added over time.”

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

“We’ll use the Steam Community Hub and social networks for feedback on maps, balance, and new features.

We plan to post regular development updates and polls so players can help shape DiART Paintball into the best paintball experience.”
