“We're incredibly excited to announce the 1.0 release of Smack Studio,” said Alec Dutch, creator and lead developer on the project. “Our Early Access started in September 2021, and we've seen both the game and the community grow immensely during the past few years. We've been especially proud to see the large number of characters (currently around 1,500) released on Steam Workshop during this time, and soon players will have new ways to create with the release of the stage editor. The 1.0 launch will also include new characters, stages, and polish to make it stand out against previous versions. We hope that both new and returning players get a chance to try it!”
