Why Early Access?

“We've decided to go with steam Early Access since, while the Early Access launch features enough content for some people to probably be satisfied, there's so many more content and features we have planned. For example, we'd like the game to have at least doubled the initial roster size of 5 before we'd be satisfied calling it a finished project.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Blueblood Arena should be in Early Access for at least 1-2 years.”

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

“Blueblood Arena is planned to have a more fleshed out Arcade mode, and to double the size of the Early Access launch roster. Please anticipate several characters being added during the length of Early Access!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Blueblood Arena's Early Access launch state will include 5 diverse playable characters, a simple Arcade mode where players will play against a series of AI opponents, as well as basic Local and Online 1 on 1 multiplayer modes. It'll also feature a training mode for players to lab out combos and look at hitboxes, as well as plenty of customization and skins for players to unlock.”

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

“Blueblood Arena will be priced slightly lower during early access. Expect a small increase in price when the game officially launches!”

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

“As a fighting game, Blueblood Arena will constantly need balance adjustments and tweaks. Getting a community involved will allow us to analyze potential tournament matches and receive feedback regarding these potential changes. By the time the game leaves early access we'll use this feedback to craft a healthy metagame while keeping the game fun and accessible. Feedback will be gathered through a variety of methods through Steam, but the most direct communication will be through our Discord Server.”
