Fellow Ninjas,
The Sairento VR Campaign mode has finally launched and along with that, our exit from Early Access on Steam.
Actually, some eagle-eyed players already found out that we secretly uploaded the latest version a couple of days ago. Well, we wanted to make sure that we could upload the game on time and mess around with Super Bowl day so ....
Anyways, it's been a wild ride over the past year, and from everyone at our small and humble studio, we thank all of you who have played a part in seeing Sairento come together, from conception to the action-packed spectacle it is today.
As many of you have rightly pointed out, an exit from EA is just a technicality. It does not mean that we will be washing our hands off it from now on. While it does mean that we believe all the elements required to make a full game are in place, we still want to continue ironing out the remaining imperfections. We also want to add more content periodically to reward our fans' loyalty and support for a while more.
Our only regret is that we cannot make the Campaign mode as robust as we would like it to be due to a lack of resources, although we really did try our very best.
Yet, despite its flaws, we think that Sairento is a game that we can all be proud of. And by we, we mean you and us. Sairento VR is a result of the cumulative efforts of both your constructive feedback and our hard work. Without you, Sairento won't exist in its current form and we want to salute you for that. As such, we have dedicated the About page in the game to you. This page is about you and not about us. Please check it out.
And this is just the beginning for us and for you fans of Sairento.
We have learnt so much through developing Sairento VR, and we want to take it a step further. We have big ideas and plans brewing in the pipeline that will further expand upon the lore of Sairento, as well as build upon the universe in a huge way.
Wish us luck and look forward to a massive announcement (hopefully soon)!
Also, watch out for an exciting new bundle we will be offering on the 9th!
Lastly, we have a small favor to ask of you. If you have enjoyed Sairento VR, it would mean a lot to us if you could rate us at Metacritic.
