After years of development and almost a year in Early Access, we’re proud to announce that Bulanci officially leaves Early Access and releases in full version. Believe us, however, that the work on the game is far from finished.
On both Steam and our website, you can find a roadmap that foreshadows our plans for the following months. There is much more in development still. In near future, you can look forward to several brand-new environments, the editor, the campaign and much more.
Bulanci will also launch on consoles, with the official release on Nintendo happening very soon and more console versions following shortly after. There is definitely a lot to look forward to.
Finally, we would like to thank you for your support. Whether you got the game via crowdfunding, bought it in Early Access, or downloaded the free version, we couldn’t have done it without you. Special thanks go to those who provided us with suggestions and ideas through social media or Discord, where a growing community of fans have formed.
The official release of a game is an important milestone, which means that one chapter of the life of Bulanci ends, but a new one begins. We would be happy if you joined us on this exciting journey, and we look forward to seeing you in the game or on Discord.
