Why Early Access?

“Boo Hunt! is a first for us and we want to make sure we do things right.

Our goal as DeadSteel Studio is to create a great score-based competitive shooter game and make it so that it's enjoyable long-term by everyone who is interested in the arcade themes and score-based competition.
We want to keep it up to date actively and create a unique gaming experience throughout the time we spend together - as the community and developers.

To achieve this goal of ours, we need your help building a community and to receive valuable feedbacks constantly, which will help us make improvements on things that we could be way better at, so that we can make "Boo Hunt!" a better experience for everyone!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are fast with our updates - from what we've experienced during our earlier development stages. But if we want to make sure we are bringing out an excellent product as our final state of the game, we would say at least a year or a year and a half in Early Access would do it - if we manage doing things right with an active community and constant feedbacks, that is.
It would be nice getting to the finalized state by the end of 2026.”

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

“Our plan is to keep the game alive with updates: offering more fun and giving life to this creation. We plan on making this by bringing an advanced variety of enemies, new maps, more or better weapon types, better waves & combat system and so on.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It's playable with many features, even if they aren't as advanced as the ones in our goals.
There are no game breaking bugs, very minor bugs may rarely occur.
In the current state of Boo Hunt, there are 4 different enemy types that grant score differently, 4 different boosts that the player can grab and 4 different weapons with each serving different purposes for the player to use in difficult waves. There is currently only 1 map available to the player.
There are daily challenges that boost your session score and a working global leaderboard that updates on change.”

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

“We don't plan to change the price.”

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

“We will be interacting with our community and listening to the feedbacks on different platforms,
such as: Twitter, Instagram, Youtube and LinkedIn. You can find us with the name Deadsteel Studio on each of these platforms.
We also plan on keeping things active by sharing videos on updates and creating events so we can keep in touch with the player base as things progress.
We value every single comment and question and make sure none of them go unnoticed for the sake of updates and improvements for Boo Hunt!”
