ShapeVS News

The launch of the ShapeVS early access is right around the corner and we want to take this time to cover a variety of things around the game so you can best be prepared for its launch this Friday (or Thursday).

If you are an early adopter of ShapeVS you can join Discord here (https://discord.gg/6pS2EVv) and post any issues you may have found but for now, let’s cover some of what the launch will bring… Q and A style!

Q. How many games will launch?

A. 4 games will launch with the 0.1 Early Access build of ShapeVS. These include Shape Battle (a top-down shooter), Shape Fly (a survival-based tapping game), Shape Move (a platformer focused on collecting and dodging) and Shape Rush (a capture-the-platform-style game).

Q. How many people can play?

A. 4, it's the big number here. Up to 4 can play locally, the game does require at least 2 players to continue you though so do be aware that if you purchase that you have someone to play with.

Q. Is there online play?

A. Not currently dedicated, but Steam play together is compatible. We are currently looking at online options but for now, understand this is a local multiplayer ONLY game right now.

Q. How can I engage with the community?

A. Standard Discord stuff (see link above), our socials and of course, our Steam community!

Q. What should I expect from the future?

A. More games, expansions on current games and more features. We are a small team but are working hard to make a game that will bring you as much joy to play at home as it does for us as.

So hopefully that answers a few questions, we are working on some things in the background and have already begun preparations around the first major update which will bring game 5 to you all.

Thank you again for your support and we look forward to sharing more with you soon!

Hello, testers,

We are happy to announce that ShapeVS, the all-new testing program from ShapeTECH, is launching on September 30th! It’s been a long journey but there are some things we want to keep you in the loop about.

Firstly, The launch version of ShapeVS early access is local multiplayer ONLY! This means up to 4 players can play on the one system, we are currently exploring online options but to make sure we get the core loop of each game down we are focusing on local for now.

Secondly, we are a small team and we have done testing on our machines but some little issues may have fallen through the cracks. If you are an early adopter of ShapeVS you can join Discord here (https://discord.gg/6pS2EVv) and post any issues you may have found.

Lastly, ShapeVS will be attending PAX Australia 2022 in Melbourne this year from the 7th to the 9th of October. We will be there with the launch version of ShapeVS and “fingers crossed” something else!

To those who are early adopters, thank you for everything! We look forward to crafting our little experience and watching it grow with you all.

For the benefit of society!

Hey everyone,

Just touching base with a quick update from Dr. Pearce and the ShapeTECH development team. We are happy to confirm that ShapeVS, the first major release from Smash Attack Studios, is currently well on track to look at the release date.

We are just working out some small kinks that we have found that we hope won’t disrupt the larger launch. But this is game development so you never know how these things go. We will aim to be a bit more active here and hopefully get some updates out.

We are pretty active on socials and you can find us here:

If you are keen on getting in early and joining the community you can join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/6pS2EVv

From here you can discuss the game with the developers and other community members, this is also a great way to help us out with feedback and such.

We look forward to seeing how you can assist the society with ShapeTECH soon.
