Hey everyone!
We know that many of you have been waiting for SuchArt to be released for quite a while now — we get lots of questions about the release date/time every day, we see all of them, yet we can’t give a proper answer, which can possibly be quite disturbing for you. What we definitely don’t want is you being disturbed, that’s why we believe it’s the right time to share our release plans and explain why we’re not giving any specific dates just yet.
First of all, we’d like to reassure you a bit: the game itself is stable — all the core features are ready, and we’re now mainly adding new languages and fixing some minor bugs. Thanks to our awesome Discord community we managed to select people who’ve been helping us with the game testing over the past months.
Please be kind to your PetBot!
There’ll be a lot of stuff awaiting you upon release: a complete story campaign, a separate Creative Mode, a lovely robot assistant PetBot, and many other features related to painting and customizing your studio. Despite all this, SuchArt is likely to be released as an Early Access game. Not because it’s not finished, but because we’re planning to continue adding new features and opportunities to the game based on your future feedback, and Early Access seems to be the best option for such continuous improvements.
In order for the game to be successful, we need to pick the best release date possible, so it’s one of the most crucial tasks for us at the moment. Release on a bad day can be critical for a small project like ours — there’s always a chance of getting lost among other releases and not getting enough attention and sales at the start (and the first days after the release are actually the most important ones). May and June happened to be extremely replete with releases and other gaming-related events: that’s why we have already postponed SuchArt release several times.
We’ve got a date in mind which we’re now aiming for (don’t worry, it’s in the foreseeable future), and we intend to announce it two weeks before the due date, when we’re 100% sure it won’t change. We really hope you understand and share our concerns and caution.
Anyway, thank you so much for looking forward to the full version of SuchArt — it’ll be out pretty soon, just wait a tiny bit more. And you’ll love it, promise!
