We Made It! Q.U.I.R.K. is now in Early Access!

Hello everyone!

uGen is incredibly excited to be released in Early Access on Steam! We've been working on this game for 10 months now, and now we are finally able to work with the Steam community directly as we work our way towards launch!

In celebration, please enjoy some Quick Facts, (or Fuickts):

  • uGen is an indie studio just outside of Seattle, WA and currently has a team of 8 people.
  • As a studio, we celebrate our 1 year anniversary on May 10th.
  • We’ve worked on Q.U.I.R.K. for a little over 10 months before this release.
  • Q.U.I.R.K. stands for Quantum Universe Interaction and Replication Kit.
  • When you build a map, or level, it is called a Q.U.I.R.K.
  • When you build a Q.U.I.R.K., you can submit it to us for review and publishing for public consumption. In the future, the community will be able to vote on their favorite Q.U.I.R.K. and builders will be rewarded handsomely for their efforts!
  • Some folks get confused: You don’t have to have a Vive to play Q.U.I.R.K. as it is a fun and fully realized game played using a keyboard and mouse.
  • People playing in VR and playing on the PC can play together.
  • While we are launching early access with one game type, we have 8 completed game types waiting in the wings.
  • The team consensus is that our product is in a late alpha stage.
  • Shortly after our Early Access release on Steam, we will be starting a behind-the-scenes builders club, giving people passionate about building access to new building assets and game types on an entirely different build.

We look forward to sharing more information about our plans for Q.U.I.R.K. and can't wait to hear what you think.

Have any questions? Let us know!
