While GUN JAM is being developed, our community has been growing in the background too. Naturally, so have your questions about the game. As we start to drip feed more information, such as who our publishers are and what gameplay currently looks like, we expect this list of FAQs to grow. And we’re all here for it!
We thought we’d cover a few of your frequently asked questions about game design, music and platform support. Let’s get started.
Design
What game modes are being planned?
For those who like to play through a journey, we’ve got an epic short story in the pipeline for our story mode. And for those who simply want to dive straight into a challenge and master the songs, we’ll have an arcade mode for you. To get the best of both, we’d recommend story mode first to meet all the characters, environments, bosses etc. and hear all of the tracks. Then afterwards, you can replay your favourites in the arcade!
Can you tell us about GUN JAM’s weapons?
As you’ve only seen a glimpse of them from the gameplay trailer, we can tell you that there will definitely be a rotation of three different weapons. A single-handed shotgun, a rifle and a grenade launcher. But we’ll take a closer look at them in a future update where we can dive into going over gameplay mechanics.
Will there be an open beta or playtesting available?
There may be an opportunity to help us out with some private playtesting this summer. To be in with a chance of supporting GUN JAM’s development this way, make sure you’re following all of our social media channels, have wishlisted the game and following our dev updates. Don’t forget to hop into our Discord server too for more community chatter.
Music
What will GUN JAM’s OST be like?
The music featured in GUN JAM is high-energy, original music written specifically for the game. Genre-wise, we’re working with a mix of Trap, Metal and EDM, all with their own creative twist and GUN JAM flare. Starting out with a few tracks per genre, each track is unique and reflects the game’s style and concept.
Can we add in custom music?
While we would love to support licensed music or allow adding in custom music, we always intended to write our own music for this game. So, no custom music for now. But this is something we could look into after general release within our post-launch development time.
Will we get a chance to buy or download the OST separately?
In short, yes. We’re aiming to sell it separately and is a part of our grand plan!
Platform support
Will it be ported to consoles?
Historically, we have shipped our games across multiple platforms. Once we’ve launched GUN JAM on PC, we will then evaluate console ports later down the road.
Will it be verified on Steam Deck?
We can’t really answer this yet. As far as we understand it, Valve has their own reviewing process in place to check games' compatibility with the Deck. GUN JAM can only officially become verified after launch and being reviewed. That said, we’re developing at full throttle.
A little gameplay testing on the Steam Deck
Will this have controller support?
Yes, GUN JAM will have controller support. Whether you prefer to play with a controller or a keyboard + mouse, we’re putting in a lot of effort to create a seamless experience. We’ve been testing the game throughout development with both and are confident it works well with either.
Can I watch the gameplay trailer again?
Okay, this wasn’t one of your questions. But the answer is always yes. Yes, you can. We’ll be revealing more gameplay soon. But in the meantime …
Until the next beat…
We won’t be surprised if this update leads to more questions. Go ahead, shoot. Drop us a comment or pick your go-to social media poison. You can find us on Discord, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.
And if you haven’t done so already, please wishlist the game on our Steam store page. We’d really appreciate it!
