Hey everyone! While I haven't been posting updates here on the Steam page, rest assured that development of Ghost Grab 3000 is in full swing and coming along very well.
Alpha
In fact, I'm very happy to announce that the game reached its Alpha milestone today!
For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, Alpha basically means that the game is 'feature complete' and contains at least a rudimentary form of every element that's intended to be in the final version.
Some of those elements still need work, some are still using placeholder graphics, and there are still bugs to be squashed, but the important part is that you can have a complete experience that closely resembles the final game.
New feature: Robot Mod Shop
A big new feature that I implemented over the last couple of weeks is the Robot Mod system. You can equip your robot with a variety of components that modify its abilities and performance in different ways. There are 3 different types of mods, so you can combine them in different ways to create a build that works for your play style.
All of these can be bought and equipped in the Robot Shop, where you can spend any coins you've collected during your struggle. It's all in-game currency of course... no micro-transactions here!
The rest of development
I'm very happy with how the game is progressing and I hope to reach Beta pretty soon.
Early access to pre-release builds is available through my Patreon. There are some very generous folks supporting development of the game there. If you want to play Ghost Grab 3000 before its full release on Steam (plus a bunch of other prototypes and more) that's the place to go!
Until then, please be sure to...
- add Ghost Grab 3000 to your Steam Wishlist
- follow my Steam Developer page
Thanks! I can't wait to finish this game and let you play it! :)
