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?

“As a small development team, we would like to involve the community in the development process to receive feedback and make it the most fun it can be.
Furthermore since it's a multiplayer-only game, we need to make sure our game works on various different machines and internet configurations.
Stress testing and bigger play-tests will occur in the Early Access period.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We strive to be in early access for 8-12 months at max.
We really hope to be releasing fully within 2022.”

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

“We plan to have the full version be an online stable experience.
The overall scope of the game is already defined currently, however the final version will bring much more polished content, both in terms of visuals but also in terms of play ability.
Players will be able to unlock more weapons and play on new maps.
Game relies on small mini games, where these at point of release have good variety and are well tested.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Current version of the game is focused to the core features of the game. This means that the core game play is fully functional.
This includes player movement, combat, physics ragdolls, weapon crafting and a general gameflow (start game, end game).
Connectivity features such as join/leave game are also implemented.
We have some basic player customization and a few different weapons to use.
A full customizable player weapon loadout and finalized gamemodes are not yet implemented.”

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

“Price will not change when we leave early access.”

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

“We would like the community to join us on discord and help us shape the future of our game!
Creating a community is essential for our survival as a multiplayer indie game, which is why we're choosing Early Access release. We must make sure that our vision matches our players.”
