Hello everyone! Glad to be back with good news after a while.
This post is going to be very simple and straightforward, we want to announce Gamble Tower's release date, which is going to be happening on...
September 1st, 2023.
I want to thank you all who were waiting for the game's release (and it being postponed multiple times) for being so patient, but I can now guarantee that this is the proper release date for our little game.
Thanks to all of you the game is better than ever, and with more content than ever before.
I want to be as transparent as possible so that every single of you knows what is going on, so let's get started.
What is left for development to complete?
We are waiting for Valve's approval on our build, polishing some content (specially UX-wise), adding achievements and creating some of the remaining sounds.
Ah, yes... and bugs.
Lots of bugs are being fixed, and I still think some of them will make into the initial build (that is just inevitable), but we plan to address them at every opportunity we can.
Thankfully, none of the present bugs or remaining issues to address really pose a threat to the game's release, so I feel confident that we'll release on the date above.
Cutting floor and updates
Unfortunately, we had to leave some interesting content on the cutting floor in order to make release possible, the two that I can remember from the top of my head are the Bank NPC and Elite Enemies.
However, worry not! We plan to have several content updates based on your feedback that may bring some of those cut content back to life. (As well as brand new ones, of course!)
So when you play the game, remember to give us your honest feedback! It will help a lot when planning for new content patches.
Anything else?
We updated our Steam page and our capsules! I hope you like it.
(shoutouts to Jaqueta and Erik for the superb job)
Also, Gamble Tower will be releasing during the newest Steam Strategy Fest (which we are taking part on), let's see how that goes. :)
I am excited for you to see what awaits for you in our game, it has been so long since we started developing it that I barely believe that we are about to release it.
Thank you again for your continued support, and I hope to see you soon!
See you soon! - Ian.
