We conduct weekly “Roadmap Priority” polls where members of the community vote for, or add their own, features that they believe are the most important to be added/fixed. “We have a very interactive relationship with our community and look forward to you joining it! How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? Pistol, revolver, assault rifle, shotgun, and sniper rifles are all available with ADS/zoom capability.Īim Lab: Team Shooter maps, weapons, and tasks will be available as a DLC in Early Access very soon.” In-depth player data profiles, leaderboards, achievements, custom crosshairs, and cross-game mouse sensitivity conversion is also live. There are a total of 15 training tasks across both maps, with new adaptive tasks being added constantly (currently at a pace of 2-3 per month). “The current Early Access version of the game today includes the fundamental Aim Lab graybox environments as well as Aim Lab: Battle Royale maps and Battle Royale-specific tasks. What is the current state of the Early Access version? More in-depth data visualizations and analysis”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?Ĭustomizable and shareable weapon physics/behaviors, tasks, AI targets, and training routines Although we only anticipate spending the next 6-8 months in EA, we will remain in EA for as long as necessary.” “Our beta community has already been incredibly helpful and therefore accelerated our initial timeline to release in Early Access by several months. Please only purchase Aim Lab during Early Access if you want to help support development and provide feedback to the team.”Īpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access? That being said, because it is in very early development and we are progressing rapidly (2-3 builds per week), there will be bugs and missing features. By opening our beta program up to more users through Early Access, we are excited to continue to build alongside a larger community. Since day one, we have prioritized community feedback and used it to rapidly improve Aim Lab. As a small team of lifelong gamers, we are well aware that many of the best ideas come directly from the community. So figure another 15 to 30 days to get return to manufacturing again if they have the raw components, which they may not because closed ports affect obtaining raw materials, too.“Aim Lab is in very early development. According to Fiocchi, that that’s not likely. And that’s if those foreign manufacturing continue to manufacture their product and have them crated, bonded and stocked. So, once the ports reopen, a realistic time frame to see supply levels return to normal is two months - just to get the ammo to U.S. Plus, a typical minimum of five to 10 days is required to embark and disembark on each side of the trip. If cargo has to arrive on the west coast, shipping can take more than 30 days. In a best-case scenario, it takes more than 20 days for a shipping container to arrive to the U.S. Russian-sourced ammo and components are also affected. The Czechs could be sitting on mountains of propellant powder, but there is no way to get it to us. The same applies to our allies in the Czech Republic. Even if Turkey’s munitions factories could bear some of the production output in support of their American clients, the shipping ports are generally closed. Turkey, home to the manufacture of much of the imported shotguns and handguns has been getting frisky with Syria. It’s also worthwhile to consider how Covid-19 is affecting the smaller small arms and ammunition providers. Even with a redirection of resources and a recent price hike to cover it, it’s going to take time before covering their adjusted costs with respect to their actual output stabilizes. Vista Outdoors is up and running, but they are fervently working to catch up to an unstable market that went berserk. Fiocchi is shut down for commercial business and operating with minimal staffing for their military customers. Fiocchi and Vista Outdoors, for example) are two major ammunition manufacturing brands I’ll discuss. As you can imagine during this unprecedented event, costs are fluctuating dramatically.ĭue to factors beyond the control of the ammunition companies, the cost of components and raw materials has more than doubled within the last two weeks. An important factor in production are labor costs, which are similarly constant unless demand increases or decreases and affects long-term projections. The profit margin is a set percentage that’s typically going to remain constant as long as production costs remain constant. It is important to understand that ammunition pricing is not set by what the ammunition costs to produce, rather it’s determined by what the next batch is going to cost to produce.
