Hello! I hope this update finds you well.
It has been a while without updating you on how the Deck RX project is going and today, we finally bring you some news. The superbackers that are part of the Open Dev Access have more info on this topic as we talk to them from time to time on Discord about how the development is going. Feel free to join!
A Kickstarter campaign, although successful, with a total amount of 10.000€ like ours does not allow us to complete in its entirety the ambitious project we have in hand. And above all, we don't want to deliver a bad or unfinished product. We want to do things right and even if it takes us more time, even if it hurts us, we prefer to tell publicly that Deck RX will be delayed from Q4 2022 to 2023.
We made this decision because as some of you may know we are also Publishers for other studios, helping them to bring their games to the public both PC and major consoles.
We have already published Ignited Steel, on March and it will soon receive an update and will be ported to consoles. Also, we are currently working on Running on Magic, which is now available both on PC and consoles.
We are also working on commissions and collaborations that we are not allowed to announce yet but they will be revealed in the following months. We support our studio with these, allowing us to survive and keep making our own games on our spare time. Unfortunately, we have been especially busy these past few months.
As I was saying, we are forced to delay the release of Deck RX as well as its beta for backers with this reward tier just for a few months. We believe it is better to delay it and deliver a product that best resembles our intention with the game. We rather prefer this than launch the game on an incomplete state pretending it is in its final form.
We can show you that we are still working on Deck RX as soon as we can free up a few more weeks. A large update is underway, with a new pilot, new cards, a new world, a new enemy, and a whole new “inventory” system where you can equip parts on each car. Here's a video of a new map (with its special mechanic included and functional, though not with the final game's look) and a new character that is already in the game, Rusty.
We will keep informing about the progress of Deck RX both here and in our Twitter and Discord.
We hope you all are staying safe and fine, big greetings from all the Meteorbyte team!
