Since launching Fangs into Early Access on November 30, we have received valuable feedback and tremendous support from the members of our community. Now that the game is live, we thought it was important to address some of the main feedback points from players and what we are aiming to achieve in this initial development cycle.

GOALS FOR EARLY ACCESS

Adding to the Development Roadmap above, our plan is to continue to improve Fangs across the board. Our goals for Early Access and beyond include:

1. Performance & Optimization: We hear your pain around performance and are working on it. The goal is to ensure that more machines are able to play Fangs smoothly, resulting in faster queue times and better matchmaking.

2. Polish & Game Feel: We know Fangs has a lot to improve in presentation, user experience, and visual clarity. Expect incremental improvements to the game’s VFX and more throughout the Early Access period.

3. Core Gameplay & Quality-of-Life Improvements: We are constantly encouraged by the potential players see in Fangs and we believe that we have something truly special with the game’s core gameplay loop. There is always room for improvement, however, so we are not done thinking about ways to enhance the player experience even further.

4. Live Balance: Now that Fangs is openly available, we will be able to get more player data outside of internal or limited public playtests. Expect constant balance updates from now on, with all changes detailed in future patch notes.

5. New Features: We will continue to implement new systems as we develop Fangs, including Reconnect, Leaverbuster, Surrender, Voice Chat, and improving the new-player experience with Enemy AI. The Ranked 1.0 and Leaderboards features will be available in our next content update on December 14, 2022.

6. New Heroes, Maps, Modes & More: Our commitment to polishing Fangs will not keep us from updating the game with new exciting content. We have a lot planned for Early Access and beyond so keep your eyes peeled for future updates.

7. Bug Fixes: We will continue to squash bugs at a rapid pace to bring Fangs the level of polish our players deserve—please keep the reports coming.

8. Expanding to Other Regions: Fangs has launched into Early Access in North America, South America, and Europe—the plan is to make it available to more regions as the team and community grow.

Thank you for your show of support for our game so far! Launching a competitive multiplayer title into Early Access inevitably leads to some growing pains, all of which were expected. If you have joined us during our Alpha Playtests, you know of our commitment to building Fangs with our players; how seriously we take feedback, and how much the game has improved each month with your help.
