A Tale of Community Growth and Development Triumphs

Hello fans of Bek, and defenders of canines worldwide!

BioGun has just completed an amazing month, first completing a highly successful closed beta, and then, as part of the SHMUP fest, the open demo. The response that we've received has left everyone in the team overjoyed at the heartwarming response from the ever-growing community.

So, what have we learned from the game sessions, and what do we think of everything? Read on to find out!



Witnessing the community expand and passionately engage in discussions about BioGun's development was a source of immense joy for the entire team. The enthusiasm from players provided a boost of motivation, and everyone involved cherished the opportunity to connect with gamers who shared their excitement for the project.



While we were always confident in the fun factor of BioGun, we were still amazed at the surge of excitement from everyone from our existing community members and the new people, those who discovered BioGun as part of the closed-beta and open demo campaigns. Frankly, the level of enthusiasm displayed has further fuelled our commitment to delivering a game that will meet and exceed everyone's expectations.

On the topic of the community, we want to thank everyone who not only took part in the playtests, but who also invested a huge amount of their own time to help us further improve BioGun with their extremely detailed feedback and bug reports. What's more, we were blown away by the community's resilience in the face of game bugs. We've seen many fantastic games turn sour due to bugs, however, despite encountering issues, testers continued to find joy in the game, underscoring the intrinsic appeal and potential of BioGun. Thanks to all of this, we were able to not only work on polishing the game but also hugely enjoy ourselves the entire time!



At this point, we want to give a very special shout-out to MegaMaster89, and Gleepot.
When the closed beta started, we were not able to verify the game's performance on the Steam Deck as our main focus was on the PC version. Therefore, while we had hoped that the game would work on the Steam Deck, we knew that there would be issues. But then the Biogun Community Stepped up and took things into their own hands! A few of our members were able to get the game running on the Steam Deck, took notes of the bugs and issues that they encountered, and even jumped into voice chats with our team to help them (our team) properly understand and identify the issues.

The result of this? We were able to work on special fixes, optimizing BioGun for the Steam Deck!

A particularly delightful highlight was the reception to the "Critical Blaster chip." It was this item that led to a truly fantastic video, curtsy of lightning47 on our Discord server. Using this item, he was able to take on every boss in the demo, without taking a single hit! Want to see how he did it? Check it out here.

BioGun on Steam SHMUP Fest!

Bek, do you hear me?
The time has come to move to the next phase in our fight against the Dooper Virus. Now, it's time to see the results of all of our planning, training, and improvements that we've made.

What? What do you mean you don't understand me? Don't you remember?
A special, scratch that, a very special festival is starting up on Steam today at 9am PDT / 18:00 CEST, and when that festival starts, anyone that is interested will be able to jump into BioGun and lend you their aid directly.



Now, this isn't the real thing yet, this is a very special simulator (a demo). That said, being a demo does not make this any less important, actually, it's quite the opposite. This demo will allow us to get real feedback, information, understanding - and more - on everything we've worked on so far. So we encourage anyone and everyone to join in!

Dev Diary #1 | Inside the organism

Hi everyone!
It's John and Ivan, the developers of BioGun.

Development has been going well and we’re really enjoying how our game is shaping up. Though to be honest, we're not big fans of sharing ongoing progress, because we want you guys to discover the world of BioGun for yourselves! With that said, we are very excited to provide an inside look at what we’ve been working on. So, in celebration of our appearance in PCGamer's livestream, we decided now is a good time to give you a quick glimpse into what's coming to BioGun!



Isn’t it kinda cute?



Unfortunately, he doesn’t like it when you get too close and will make you second guess your approach…





Luckily, with the right weaponry, you can snipe him from a safe distance.



Even multiple of them!



The VIRAL RIFLE is a fantastically powerful weapon that allows you to hit enemies from a distance. It also travels through walls and multiple enemies. We’ve been having a lot of fun using it and can’t wait until you try it.



Do you remember Phoebe?
Well, she has two sisters! One of them is hard at work, but ready to reveal herself. Introducing: Piper!



Piper is way more adept with her hands than her mind. While Phoebe creates the schematics, Piper is the one that gets to build them. If you enjoy your Atomic Baths, be sure to thank her.





What mysteries lie hidden within the thick bog of the Pancreas…

Last but not least have you ever wondered what happens when the Dooper virus completely overtakes an organ?



Don't let this fate befall the remaining organs.



So far, developing BioGun is turning out to be one of the most fulfilling experiences of our lives. We can’t wait until you guys experience what we have in store for you. Until then, thank you for your patience and keep looking forward to updates as we make the game we always wanted to play - BioGun.
