According to Rock Paper Shotgun, Stick It to the Stickman, a roguelite beat 'em up developed by Free Lives, is set to emerge from early access on September 23rd. The game has been in early access for over a year and has undergone significant development, with the team changing from 8 developers to 4 developers.
Rock Paper Shotgun reports that the early access version of Stick It to the Stickman was well-received, with the game's stickperson fights and chaotic gameplay being particularly praised. The game's developer, Free Lives, has stated that the game has sold well, but the development process has taken a toll on the team, both financially and emotionally.
Free Lives has chosen to prioritize the mental health of their workers and release the game in its current form, rather than attempting to build every single mode and staying in early access for an extended period. The game's full release is expected to include new features, including an 'absolutely absurd finale' and neurolinkage, according to Rock Paper Shotgun.
