Release!
Barricade will be releasing on October 22nd, 2024. Development started on June 8th 2021, it's been over 3 years of development (on and off), and we are finally putting a nice big bow on the project and releasing it to the public.
I will keep the post brief, but just wanted to give everyone who has played the game, wishlisted, and or provided feedback a big thank you. I really hope you will enjoy!
What Next?
I will still support Barricade as needed, and should it garner a large enough audience, I plan to release more content that I had to cut during development. I take pride in trying to create a smooth bug free experience for the players, so please report any bugs you find and I will try to address them as quickly as possible!
Stay tuned for my next game, I promise this time it won't take 3 years to release 😉
Cheers!
