Austin, Texas, July 31th, 2024: ThirdPixel Interactive is excited to announce that its sandbox fighting game, Smack Studio, has launched on Steam.
Smack Studio first entered early access in 2021. After running a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2022, the game has cultivated a loyal fanbase through appearances at events like PAX West and the OTK Games Expo. The team has spent the last few years fine-tuning the game’s patented creation technology, adding new content to the game, and giving players new ways to put their own stamp on Smack Studio.

“We're incredibly excited to share the 1.0 launch of Smack of Studio,” said Alec Dutch, creator and lead developer on the project. “The game has been in development since January 2018 - more than 6 years! What started as an unlikely dream to allow fully custom characters in a fighting game has become a reality, thanks to the efforts of a small but dedicated team, and the contributions of a community with a passion for the project. We're very grateful to the Kickstarter backers who helped us raised money and awareness for the project in 2022, as well as all the creators who have put time into the game and shared their creations on Steam Workshop. We hope that the game and the community will be around for many years to come!”
Smack Studio is available to purchase on Steam.
