Bucharest based Indie Game Development studio, KillHouse Games, who is behind the innovative SWAT command game has some exciting news for ‘Door Kickers’. The game will be coming out of Early Access and will be ready to breach at full force on PC, Mac, Linux this October 20th for $19.99.
With Romania not involved in the US/UK oriented crowfunding site, Kickstarter, KillHouse Games had to take on a different approach for crowdfunding. Which lead to having pre-order purchases on their official site, and that money that came from the pre-orders had helped out with the development of the game. This sort of crowdfunding went on for 1.5 years, and some rewards that you were able to purchase included having your house in the game, or even send in a photo of yourself for one reward, which allowed for KillHouse Games to add a trooper portrait of you in the game.
Door Kickers got the greenlight on Steam and was then released onto Steam Early Access back in September 3rd, 2013. With a year gone by, Door Kickers released 13 builds, and published 236 mods. Between the Steam Greenlight leading Steam Early Access and soon to get the full release, Door Kickers is really looking to deliver a game that the players asked for from the reviews, comments, etc., and now experience a game that has improved from a ‘technological, gameplay, and visual point of view.’
