Development Update - 2019

Hey everyone. We've taken a bit of a prolonged silence on the game's state, so I want to get all of you up to speed on where we are and how we're moving forward.

What have we been up to?

Ever since the start of the year we've run into a shortage of funds to further develop the game, so in response we've been working on third party projects full-time. Be it art or programming, we've each taken up different games to work on in the meantime. I can say I had the pleasure of releasing an educational game, worked on a AAA game for Electronic Arts for a couple of months and most recently started a new project as lead developer. A lot of growth in a very short time, and I'm grateful to have worked alongside very talented folks. I'm also in the middle of relocating out of the country. It's nerve wracking to say the least.

What does this mean for Guns N' Boxes and LightArrow Games?

Until we have the resources to work part-time on our own projects again, Guns N' Boxes is no longer in active development. I will try to fix any game-breaking bug in the meantime (there's 1 pending as of time of writing) but there'll be no new content for a while. One of the harsh realities of independent game development is the lack of financial support. Luckily we've been able to pull through and keep ourselves afloat, but there isn't enough to invest in Guns N' Boxes at the moment.

What now?

We're still around. I check the forums at least once a week, as well as twitter. It's safe to say there won't be any mayor news for the rest of the year regarding the game. All of us are committed to finishing it. After all, we've been working on it for quite some time. In the meantime I ask only for patience. If you've recently bought the game and would like a refund, please keep in mind the Valve Refund Guidelines. If you have any questions please leave them here or you can tweet at me at mauri_up. Thanks everyone for the support as always. We hope we can bring some good news soon! -Mauricio

A Classic Charm

Pixel Art-style aesthetic and animations made with more love than your grandmother's cookies. Modern visuals with a classic feel that will take you back to the 16-bit era as if time hadn’t gone by. Guns N’ Boxes is some sort of a... "neoclassic" with unrelenting action to sate your thirst for adrenaline in pixels.

Pistols, Rifles, Foodstuffs and more!

Arm yoursef with the myriad weapons that are hidden within the boxes! Quick-firing pistols, foe-smiting railguns, exploding hot dogs and many other kinds of armaments can be used to wreak havoc around you. Master and fire laser beams, grenades and shotguns as you adapt to your situation. Oh wait... such a pity they all drop randomly!
