Closed Alpha Wrap-up + Development Update

It's been 2 weeks since we stopped the Closed Alpha playtest to focus on the next big milestone in Guntouchables' development - Steam Next Fest!

We didn't know what to expect from the Alpha playtest, so we were absolutely blown away by the results and the reception. An overwhelming 20.000 players signed up to participate in the Alpha playtest during the 13 days it was live, and the feedback we received was nothing short of invaluable. Bugs were reported, opinions were shared, and balancing was discussed... and we are learning so much! ːsteamhappyː

A huge THANK YOU goes out to each and everyone who participated!

As you may suspect, two weeks is not nearly enough time to process all the feedback we received during the Alpha test. However, we have worked our butts off to include as many cool changes and features as possible. Especially for those players requesting an extra challenge! ːDevil2ː
