Why Early Access?

“We want to improve RunGun Riot with feedback from people playing real matches. Early Access will help us refine combat clarity, fighter balance, match pacing and accessibility while continuing to improve content and reliability.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently estimate roughly 12–18 months in Early Access after the Early Access launch. This is a working estimate, not a fixed release date. The timing will depend on progress with the planned content, multiplayer stability, balancing and player feedback.”

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

“For version 1.0, we plan to expand the activities and choices around the core battle royale loop:

- Additional contracts with combat and crate-looting objectives, progression goals and rewards.
- Additional vendor weapons, items and power-ups, with balancing of purchases made using match currency.
- Additional district door and interior routes in the battleground, creating more ways to move between fights and reach loot.

We also plan to refine fighter and weapon balance, loot distribution and storm pacing using match feedback; improve combat visual and audio cues, accessibility options and controller menus and prompts; and improve multiplayer stability and performance.

The additional contract, vendor and district content is still in development. These are development goals; scope and priority may change with testing and community feedback. We will update this section as content is added.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“RunGun Riot is in development and is not yet available to purchase on Steam. The Season 0 review build is a Windows keyboard-and-mouse game set in Caldera, with eight starter fighters: Jumper, Blaster, Ninja, Builder, Tank, Skater, Mage and Demolitionist.

It includes Practice Range, offline bot matches and online Casual singles and Riot duos. Casual has 30 total combatants and Riot has 40; those totals include bots. Bots fill unused match slots. The core loop combines movement, weapons and class abilities with scavenging and a closing storm.

Online play requires internet access and a Steam account that owns the game. The initial online service allows up to eight human players connected at once, one active match room and at most four players from the same public IP, usually a shared household network. Online availability is limited by this initial capacity.

Online 50-combatant Mayhem, Riftwater and additional fighter picks are unavailable in this build. Additional maps, fighters and the integrated comic are outside the Season 0 release. We are completing further multiplayer, performance, hardware and presentation checks before opening Early Access, and will update this description for the offered build.”

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

“We plan to offer a lower price during Early Access and increase the price for the full release as the game gains content and polish.”

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

“We plan to use Steam announcements and community discussions to share development updates and collect feedback on combat clarity, fighter balance, match pacing, accessibility and content priorities. Bug reports and playtest feedback will help us prioritize fixes and improvements. The Season 0 candidate includes REPORT A BUG on the title and pause menus. Players can describe the problem, review and edit the report, then use COPY REPORT or OPEN MAIL DRAFT to contact voyageseattle@gmail.com. Reports are sent only when the player chooses to send them.”
