Addendum to my last post:
You may have noticed that Your Only Move Is HUSTLE is no longer going to be launching in Early Access. This is an intentional change; With 4 pretty complex characters (and more on the way), an advanced character customization system, and slick new UI for steam lobby support, the game at this point feels full-featured. My development plan will not be changing, of course, but as it stands I don't see a reason for keeping the label anymore. There will be new content, and I will continue to take community feedback. But basically, after months of feedback from the open itch.io beta (the *real* early access), I feel the game is settled into the way it wants to be.

Price won't be changing nor the launch date; it's gonna launch at $4.99, adjusted for region, on Feb 2nd. At the price of a big mac and a soda-pop, I have confidence that the baseline content for my game is more than good enough for the price—and more healthy—that is, after the inevitable day 1 patch of course.

Just wanted to keep yall in the loop. ːorganiccucumberː

Your Only Move Is HUSTLE just passed 100,000 wishlists. I can't thank this wonderful community enough. you have made my dreams come true.

The game is primed for release. Everything is ready, I think. There will of course continue to be bug fixes and balance patches on launch, and I plan for new content down the line. Just a week away! Stay tuned hustlers ːorganiccucumberː ːorganiccucumberː ːorganiccucumberː ːorganiccucumberː

sup hustlers.

first off: in case you werent aware, i've distributed steam keys to everyone who donated on itch.io. donations are closed now. if you paid for the game on itch, check your email for a link to the purchase page; you should have a steam key waiting for you there.

so the game is pretty much primed to release on the expected date: Feb 2, 2023, a couple weeks from now. all major bugs are fixed, all the steam-exclusive content is in. mainly i just gotta get a couple more moves in for the new character, Robot.

there are some things that I want to be included but won't be available at launch. the first thing is Steam Workshop integration. the modding Discord server ran a poll and it seems that players overwhelmingly prefer this option for mod support. thing is, it will take some time to get that ready, so it won't be available right away - but i hear what the people want and i'd like to do whatever possible give it to you.

another thing is ranked matchmaking. this is more complicated, and it may not ever be in the game officially, but some of you may know that the premier Your Only Move Is HUSTLE tournament server, Yomi Arena, already has a modded ranked client with built-in elo and everything. So there's the eventual possibility of incorporating something like that in collaboration with the tournament scene.

finally, i just wanna say that i'm so stoked to have this insane support from you guys. as of writing we're sitting at a clean 91,000 wishlists and it's only going up. hundreds of concurrent players on the beta every day. the fact that so many people resonate with this silly 3-month (now 5+) project fills my heart with joy (and stress). i'm just so excited to get this game out so that everyone can play with the new features and try out the new character. i'm also terrified that having so many players online in the steam version will somehow break the game XD


i don't really know what else to say, but i figured yall deserved an update on where things are at.
