Hello, wonderful people,
I'm excited to see Bacon May Die store page up on Steam and we can finally get this piglet rolling forward to release! I wanted to get some information out to you, so you could decide if this game is something you might want in your library and what to expect in the following months.
🐷 What is this game about?
Bacon May Die is a beat'em up button masher with simple and accessible controls in which pig hero fights for its survival against hordes of weird enemies.
🐷 Why Early Access?
I need your input on a few things, like feedback on game mechanics, adding more suggested content and help with testing of eventual Steam Workshop integration.
🐷 Is this Iron Snout 2?
Not really. Both games are thematically similar, but Bacon May Die has more variety in movement and game mechanics (vehicles, ranged weapons, NPCs). And outfits, so many outfits!
🐷 Will this game be free?
Nope, but it will be cheap and it will be even cheaper during Early Access period. I will share quite a few keys around and there will definitely be discounts in the future. Follow me on Twitter to not miss any freebies!
🐷 How Steam release will compare to free mobile/web versions?
Eventually Bacon May Die content available for free will be "frozen" and only Steam players will get all of the possible content, which includes exclusive areas, game modes, weapons & outfits as well as Steam Workshop integration and, of course, all Steam-related goodies like achievements, trading cards, icons and more!
🐷 Multiplayer?
I know many people want to play this with their friends, but I can't promise online multiplayer any time soon. That said, there will be an option to play local coop! I'll need your help with testing those, because for one person it is really hard to control 3 pigs at the same time.
🐷 Where can I play this game NOW?
Web and PC versions are available here: https://snoutup.itch.io/bacon-may-die
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snoutup.baconmaydie
iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/bacon-may-die/id1238929199
🐷 Can I beta test it on Steam already?
Soon. But not just yet. Keep your eyes open and check forums or my Twitter for beta keys.
🐷 When Early Access will start?
I don't want to promise anything I can't follow through, but I hope to go public with EA in September! I want to add some cool Steam-only content before doing that.
🐷 I have an idea!
That's awesome! Head to the forums and post in this thread or create separate topic if your idea is a big one (like new mechanic, boss enemy, special move/combo).
🐷 I have a question!
Post it in the comments! I'll try to answer everything I can and will add most important ones to this post.
Hope to see you soon!
Cheers!
