Co-Op Climbing Game Sunset Summit Delayed to September 9
A same-day delay announced just before release shows the game is still dependent on Steam's approval pipeline, with the extra time spent on polish rather than a content overhaul.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Future Friends Games delayed Sunset Summit from August 21 to September 9 because Steam approval did not complete in time. The co-op mountain climbing game, developed by Joe Fender and Andrew Fender, two of the three DEVOUR developers, supports up to 8 players as retirees. Additional days will be used for fine-tuning and bug fixes. Playtesting resumes over the weekend.
Sunset Summit was meant to launch on August 21, but Steam approval did not finish in time. Publisher Future Friends Games moved the release to September 9 and said the extra days will go toward fine-tuning and bug fixes so the game is polished at launch.
The climbing game comes from Joe Fender and Andrew Fender, two of the three developers behind DEVOUR. Up to 8 players take on mountain routes as retirees, coordinating with proximity chat and transceivers while using ropes, axes, pogo sticks, and booster agents. The game offers 16 handcrafted routes and regular checkpoints to soften failures.
Playtesting is set to resume over the weekend. Sunset Summit releases on Steam on September 9.
