Skate! Or! Die!
Skateboard gang turf war simulator Decksplash is heading to Early Access on November 10th. Or, at least, it will. Assuming 100,000 people play it during the free week before it’s set to enter Early Access. Otherwise, it dies an ignoble death, never to be played again.
Which seems pretty extreme. Games are not a medium that sprints, or at least not anymore. To simply not release a playable game can actually be costly. But Bossa Studios (Surgeon Simulator, I Am Bread) insists that is the way it has to be.
Why a Free Week?
Like any proud parent, we love Decksplash, but unlike deluded creators, we want to believe that you love it too. Thus we’ve devised a ‘first of its kind’ experiment: The Splash N’ Grab! We’re releasing the game free for a week AND if 100K people download, play, and have fun, we’ll instantly launch the game at the end of the free week. If not… RIP Decksplash.
The game seems like a delightful cross between Splatoon and Tony Hawks Pro Skater. Only, you know, minus the actual skaters. Here’s hoping Decksplash makes it. Its fate rest in your hands. The free week starts November 2nd.
