Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I am developing this game as a solo developer. It is a fairly complex project with several multiplayer-focused systems, and before the full release I want to gather feedback from a wider group of players. Early Access will help me understand what works, what needs improvement, and which areas I should focus on to make the game stronger and more polished for release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“My current goal is to keep the game in Early Access for no longer than around six months. Since I am developing the game on my own, this period will help me collect feedback, identify the most important improvements, and refine the overall experience.”

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

“During Early Access, I intend to focus on improving the existing maps, fixing bugs, and refining the overall balance of the game, including weapons and gameplay systems. I also plan to evaluate which gadgets work best, which ones may need to be changed or removed, and how to improve the overall multiplayer experience.

My goal is also to expand and polish the available content over time, including additional maps, enemy types, and weapons that are currently planned for the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and its core systems are functional. However, there are still areas that need improvement, balancing, and polish. Community feedback will be very important in helping me understand what should be refined, adjusted, or expanded during Early Access.”

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

“The game is free-to-play and I currently intend to keep it that way during and after Early Access.”

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

“I have a Discord server that will serve as the main place for collecting feedback, suggestions, bug reports, and general input from the community. I plan to use this feedback to better understand what players enjoy, what needs improvement, and which parts of the game should be prioritized during development.”
