Hi everyone Rich here! So it’s been a little while since we put out our last update so I thought i’d write a little something to tell you where we are and what the plans are.
I’ve had to take a break for a little while because we spent so long on Gunsmith before the launch that I’ve burned out quite hard. I was easily doing 16/18 hours a day to get it ready for launch. It wasn’t poor planning it was just trying to get the best product ready for you all with the time we had left.
That being said its super hard to be creative after smashing out a whole game over the course of 1.5 years to just keep coming up with fresh and exciting content. So basically I needed a rest and i'm sure Ed needed one too. We know you’re all super eager for what’s to come and im happy to tell you we have ALOT in store for Gunsmith over the next 6 months. I think it’s going to improve the game a tonne and make the gameplay much more diverse.
That takes time as we need to figure it out and get it right but when we are ready we will start deploying our major gameplay additions. We are listening to every comment you make and we are very actively implementing them. So if you have something in your mind that you think rocks, go ahead and put it in the forums or Discord!
Ideally I would like to get into a good sleeping / freetime structure again as the constant sitting at a PC is just not healthy for anyone. So more than likely means we will not be here on the weekends. Customer support is very important for me and making sure the game is good for you all is the top priority. But we do need to start having a life outside of game development as well. So for that reason unfortunately we might not be on hand as much over the weekends in the future. It’s not that we don’t care, but we need to rest as well.
For anyone who has got in touch regarding press keys, as I know there are quite a few. I am now setting up a custom email address for that and a we will post that soon. All press enquiries can go there from now on as I am getting overwhelmed with them.
There should be a small update next week with more fixes and some new content. Nothing major but still significant.
So yeah, we are going to be refueling for another round of heavy game dev over the next few weeks so thanks for being awesome with the support. Also, if anyone would be interested in Gunsmith merchandise let us know in the forums or Discord as thats something I am looking into.
All the best.
Rich!
