We now have a game that can be played very well and is a lot of fun if you take it seriously, but it is far from being a polished experience. Given all these circumstances Marenz and I (David) decided to release it as it is. We really want to start over, having learned hundreds of lessons, to make Supraball the game it deserves to be. Knowing how to do things right usually requires having done it wrong before. Trust us, we learned a lot from the many mistakes.





The complexity of our current system is way too high. It has way too many separate parts that are very hard to coordinate. The game is hard to update. We want to have the game in one piece, no separate launcher; have it all focussed way more on the core gameplay, not have so much clutter and menu options around it. What we cannot fix is, that in the past 5 years the gaming scene exploded with countless games being released every day, and ever AAA games coming out for free all the time, all trying to get attention. All we can do about it is to not try to please everyone but go more for the hardcore niche player. I have no doubt the gameplay itself will stay unique; no other game can really compare to what Supraball is.





I personally couldn't help on the game production anymore in the last 12 months, and in that time I made an entire game (which will be finished within the next month). The production of SupraLAND, using Unreal Engine 4, was such a smooth experience and it turned out to be a polished game without real problems during development. All we really wanna do is make another SupraBALL in this new engine. Not only can this engine solve all the issues that we're having in the production of the past 7 years, I also learned to code in it.





A year ago it seemed impossible, but everything I needed to get coded for Supraland I could actually make on my own and I learned so much in the past 12 months. In SupraBALL I could always only do art stuff and for coding related things I always depended on others and was forced to wait and wait and wait. Now I can finally do all the gameplay and menus by myself. I'm really looking forward to do all that for SupraBALL, because I know it can be just as polished as SupraLAND.



We're maybe disapointing some players with this, but please read on! In the long run it will be better this way.
