88 In the September 2025 interview, Kim described the concept as making your own overpowered gun and going to hunt dragons. Rather than handing players finished weapons, the game has them keep building up their own gun. He named characters, guns and artifacts as the three axes of variety and said multiplayer co-op was central. He described the art as a stylized look with a North American comics feel, built on the art director's own drawing style rather than imitating anything.

1010 At gamescom 2026, Park said FPS was the core keyword from the start, since the CEO had a lasting passion for FPS games and Park himself had worked on FPS projects for a long time. Most current FPS games are highly competitive PvP titles, so the team set out to make a multiplayer FPS that players who struggle in PvP could enjoy, and used roguelite structure to pace it. He placed the game in the Little half of ABUTTON's Big and Little strategy. Little projects try new ideas for global audiences, while the studio's large MMORPG fills the Big role.

1414 During and after the first playtest, players criticized AI-generated artifact icons. A developer reply on the Steam forum first explained that generative AI had been used only at the initial concept stage for a limited number of icons, and that every final icon was revised and completed by the team. On September 15, 2026, the studio went further. It said every AI-generated icon was gone, redrawn by hand for the second playtest, and that nothing in that build was AI-generated. It added that AI is still used on the back end of development, such as coding support, but does not make what players see.

1818 The studio said a surprising number of first-playtest players used Steam Deck and sent detailed bug reports, so the second playtest build included early Deck adjustments. It stressed that the Deck version was not finished, that optimization had a long way to go, and that the game had not yet been through Valve's official compatibility review. A developer reply said the team intends the game to be fully Steam Deck compatible in the future.
