Hej I'm Jakob aka Baby Duka. I'm from Denmark and since late 2017 I have been working not only on
DASH: Danger Action Speed Heroes, but also on establishing a community consisting of a variety of gamers, and gamedev-interested people. It was launched on an alpha test branch on Steam September 2018 in order to get feedback on gameplay and mechanics, to get bug reports and to test our custom server structure. The game is running on Windows and Linux with controller and/or keyboard support.
About 14 months ago I posted this funny and ambitious post here in the Townhall:
https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=63933.0 and after hundreds of hours spent on improving and expanding the game, we're finally ready. I started alone, and now we are three full time on the dev team + the family of ~250 DASHers on the Discord.
Since February this year my fellow dev Phil and I have been boosting up the features in the game along a solid Discord server (
http://discord.gg/3JPpNey) housing about 250 DASHers who are either speedrunners, level creators, 2D pixel game fans and other wild people :D
Now I want to introduce you to the game
by showing you a trailer. But before that, let's have a look at a post I announced on our Discord server yesterday:
This production is a great example of making a game that would never have been the same without the community of mods and testers who make up a large team of dedicated player-devs! They're the reason I have been able to take the game from dream to demo to alpha to beta to Early Access:
OFFICIAL EARLY ACCESS LAUNCH TRAILER: DASH launches early June 2019 on Steam and Discord Store. Until the 5th of June you are able to play and test the beta, upload levels to the official server and get a place on the leaderboard. You can get a free Steam key by joining the Discord (see below) and sending a DM to @ botlife with !getkey.
