State of the Game – a.k.a. “When can I play it?!”

Starting more regular updates, it seems fitting to first begin with where we are towards the game being done. It’s easiest to say that simply, MegaMare X is in Alpha phase development. It has a lot more work ahead, and we will still need more folks to help.

Our panel this year at BABSCon showed off a few cool boss fights and a basic stage select. And while there’s certainly more content in various stages of development, much of the overall experience was incomplete.

So, ever since that panel, we’ve finished the game’s core features and filled in the remaining details so that we can build the content (stages, story scenes, etc) overtop of it. Now we are making good progress, although it has admittedly been a long road to get here.

Our development has had its stalls and some misdirection, but that seems part of the learning process. Our team, Starlight Studios, aren’t game industry professionals (yet!), and we surely have more than a few struggles left before MegaMare X sees completion.

So, when can you play it?

We’ll let you know as soon as we know!

In the meantime, we’ll show off more stuff over the coming weeks, and answer your questions as they come. Hit up the ask box!
