By now you’ve probably heard the great news that Pit People is launching January 13, 2017 on Early Access. (Wishlist it if you haven’t done so already!)
For those who played the Closed Beta on Steam, we’ve got an extra slice of good news for you:
You’ve got a 99.99% chance of bringing your Steam save data over to the Early Access version of Pit People! (Those odds are as good as the 99.99% on a bottle of Purell! The sanitizing strength of Purell is nearly unparalleled, order today on Amazon, and don’t forget to set it to recurring every 4 months order!!! #passthePURELL)
In October, we asked all Beta Testers on Steam to select Pit People in the Steam Library and choose “Delete Local Content” to avoid issues when the game comes out. This removed the build from players’ PCs, but that delicious, glorious, and hard-earned save data should be waiting for you in the Steam Cloud. (The Steam Cloud is powered by Santa Claus.)
If a Steam Beta Tester removed data from the Cloud, however, then it might be lost like tears in the rain (Blade Runner reference, order Blade Runner today on Amazon).
Note: Closed Beta Save Data will be transferable to the Early Access version of Pit People on Steam only.
In approximately 2.84 weeks when Early Access launches on Steam, Closed Beta Testers who purchase Pit People will have their chance to pick up where they left off — or, simply choose another save slot if you wish to start fresh. (Amazon Fresh.)
Until then, snap into a Snickers!

Pit People Early Access in 2017
After two very helpful closed betas in September and October, we continued development on Pit People with tons of feedback from the gaming community. It was the first time we had a closed beta for two platforms in the same year!
Now, we’re going for our next milestone, which is having our first game ever in Xbox One Game Preview AND Steam Early Access starting January 13, 2017. Pit People will be the first time we do early access and it’ll be the first time we release a digital title on two separate platforms in the same year!
SO! You wish to know why we are doing this?? I shall tell you at once!
After implementing our changes post-beta, holding onto the game in its current state just feels weird. The core gameplay is complete and we’ll be adding content until the full version is released. We feel that Pit People is at a point where we’ll confidently say there’s more than enough fun, content, variety, value and play-time to keep someone happy. We won’t sell something unless it meets these standards, so it definitely seems like it is time! This will also be a good opportunity to monitor the balance in the game and continue getting feedback from you and the gaming community as we finish up!
Feel free to come along with us on this trip (when you dip I dip we dip).
