Smack Studio soft launch, happening now

Today we're launching our game in early access! The game is currently available for download, but we need to make a few patches later today (to resolve issues found around the time of the launch- wooo, indie game development!)

In the current state, there are a few issues to note:

• We removed one character (Spry) due to a bug. We'll put her back in shortly!
• We removed side B and down B while we resolve a few issues
• The character editor doesn't have a link to a tutorial yet, so it will be challenging to jump into it. We're recording that so that we can give players a better starting point.

For our team of two developers and a handful of part-time artists, a Steam launch is quite an undertaking! We're aware of some issues with controller support (and even occasional crashes on startup!) that people are having when trying to launch the game, and we're working to get those resolved as quickly as we can.

We'd love to hear from you if you're having issues playing the game, and we'll do our best to resolve problems quickly. Ways you can contact us:

• Join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/kJYgQP8G
• Find us on Twitter: @SmackStudio
• Email us: contact@smackstudio.com

We'll send out more news as there are further developments about our launch!
