➞ Who are you?
We are Deep Worlds, and we're the team behind BL. Originally, two developers started the project about 4 years ago, but since then we've grown and now are 12 people working on it. Most of our team members are freelancers who've joined us recently to help us achieve our goals. Many of them come from modding communities.
➞ Can I participate in test sessions?
We organize small tests sessions on our discord to get as much feedback as possible on the game and its mechanics. Anyone can get a chance to participate in the test sessions as long as you have the insider role. By having the role, you'll get notified when we will be hosting playtests. We are mainly granting access to the game for a limited amount of people that are quickly available for testing when we need. We are not ready for bigger playtests yet.

➞ How much will the game cost?
We are targeting a €30 price point for Early Access in France and Switzerland (as a reference), with an introductory discount bringing it down to around €25.
➞ When will the game be available?
While we don’t like to talk about a release date because we don’t want to disappoint you by postponing it, we plan to make a playable build available in the form of a demo in mid 2024. We plan to release the open Early Access at the end of 2024.
➞ On which platform will the game be available?
The game will release on PC (Steam). However, if it does well, we're considering releasing it on PS5 and Xbox Series X as well. We don't have any exact dates to share at the moment, but we're excited about the possibility, since consoles make up about 50% of our potential market. It's definitely an attractive prospect for us!
➞ What about Cheaters ?
We are all aware that cheaters are a significant issue in extraction shooters, and we simply cannot promise you that our game will completely solve this problem. However, what we can assure you is that if it becomes a big concern, we will allocate a substantial budget to fighting cheaters, and we won't hesitate to implement radical solutions to solve the problem.
