The time is now!

Our Steam store page is officially online!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/16900/GROUND_BRANCH/

Its been a long time coming, but we have finally reached that elusive milestone. We feel the game is close to being ready for our Early Access launch so its time to let everyone know about Ground Branch. Tell everyone you know about the game and direct them to the store page for information and to join in by following the game and adding it to their wishlist to get all the latest information. We still have about 80 Pre-Order keys left before they are all gone, so lets sell them out! Things are going to start moving a lot faster from here on out.

To all of our supporters, thank you for all you have done to help get us to this point. And those just learning about Ground Branch, welcome and enjoy the ride!

Well Happy New Year to everyone!

Its been a while since our last news post so what better time for an update than the end of the year. We have had some challenges the past few months, both personal and professional, so development of Ground Branch has gone slower than we had hoped or planned for. However, we want to make it very clear that development is still going on and we are as committed as ever to the project and keeping development more consistent in 2018 and beyond! Here are a few things being worked on……

1018 is finally here!

Go to Steam to get the latest update of Ground Branch.

We continue to improve the overall usability and player experience with Ground Branch. Online stability has been greatly improved as we are now starting to refine the gamemode systems that will allow us to polish up existing gamemodes and more rapidly introduce new ones to try. As with the previous public build, the overall Ground Branch experience continues to improve greatly.

1017 Ground Branch update is ready!

The main focus of this release is stability and performance and therefore a lot of “under the hood” non visual work has been done. While still a work in progress, the online experience has gotten some much needed love and is now much more stable and reliable. Overall performance increases have been achieved with the move to Unreal Engine 4.15.2 combined with reworking some core game systems. Still lots of work to do in these areas, but the current Ground Branch gaming experience feels much better than previous builds.
