As we wrap up the beta, I want to shout out a big THANKS to everyone who participated, especially those who reported bugs and played a bunch of online games with me!
Though the beta is over, this week will be an exciting week for Splody, as it will be at PAX East! Come stop by my booth, say hello, and compete in daily Splody tournaments.
A week after that, on the 21st of March in the year 2017, Splody releases on Steam. Though I've worked on many other games before, this is my first release since setting out as an independent developer, so I'm super excited for this! I will look forward to seeing new players online, and meeting more people much better at my game than I am =).
