Hi all!

After almost 2 months, the full release of Exertus is just around the corner. To save any upcoming confusion, I just wanted to answer a few questions and clarify a couple of topics beforehand.

Statistic and leaderboard reset
A full leaderboard and statistic reset will be carried out when Exertus is pushed for full release. This enables even and fair ground for all players, old and new. Leaderboards will be reset via Steam's backend and statistics will be reset on the first launch of Build #101.

Hopefully, this will be the only time that a global leaderboard and statistic reset is required.

Will there still be updates?
Absolutely.

Moving out of Early Access simply means that Exertus is in a good state, that the movement is balanced and mechanically sound and that there is content for players to enjoy. Over time, updates will still come to Exertus in the form of improvements, hotfixes, general patches and content.

Why was Exertus in Early Access anyway?
Feedback from dedicated players is always far superior to my own sole knowledge.

Initially launching Exertus in Early Access allowed for an additional 15 official levels, a new game-mode (Speedrun Mode), support for a new language, various new UI elements, balancing for mechanics and over 250 bug fixes. All taking community feedback into account, especially with use from the community feedback document created early on.

If there are any further questions, please do feel free to get in contact.

See you on the leaderboards!
