Silly wobble individual combating game Gang Beasts goes it alone, planning to self-publish future updates. Last 12 months, Boneloaf’s former writer Double Fine Presents was purchased up by Microsoft, finally saying that persevering with to be a writer after being purchased by an even bigger writer “doesn’t make sense,” and calling the brand new construction a “complicated issue.” Looks like Gang Beasts will come out of the equation alright, as Boneloaf are planning some new updates for the game even post-publisher.
“We love Double Fine and they have been really fantastic to us,” say Boneloaf in a new post. “With Double Fine Presents winding down due to Double Fine’s acquisition by Xbox Game Studios last year, we think it is a good time for Boneloaf to stand on its own…legs and publish Gang Beasts ourselves.”
Currently, Boneloaf say they’re planning to launch Gang Beasts replace 1.13 as a beta department on Steam someday subsequent month. They plan to incorporate “a modified version of the wheel stage with support for online game modes and a series of optimisations and fixes for UI, audio, costumes, gameplay, and achievements.” They’re additionally engaged on new phases and costumes, although extra info on these is but to come back.
Gang Beasts seems like a foolish QWOP ’em up, and it form of is, nevertheless it’s additionally one of many best fighting games on PC by RPS requirements. Its goofy, jello-legged avatars are good for a number of laughs with mates in my expertise. It’s good to listen to then that they’re planning to proceed on with updates for the combating game even now that their writer has been swallowed by an even bigger fish.
