  • Q: Who made the game?

  • Q: Isn’t this a mod for Unreal Tournament 3?

    • The Ball started out as a mod for Unreal Tournament 3 yes, but we have since moved on. The Ball is a stand-alone game, many times better than the mod!

  • Q: I have already played the mod version, why would I need to get the full game?

    • Lots of reasons. We are putting in lots of effort in making the full game be a really big step up from the mod version. We are not just packaging the mod and selling it! We are spending day and night on making it an even better experience than it already was.

    • The Ball is singleplayer only.

  • Q: Will The Ball be released for Mac or Linux? How about console?

    • We are not planning to support Mac and Linux at this point, but never say never.
    For the time being the game is for PC only, but we would love to do a XBLA and/or PSN version at some point in the future.

  • Q: What will the download size for The Ball be?

    • Around 1 GB.

  • Q: Will there be a demo?

    • There will probably be a demo at some point but we have not yet decided when that will be. There is a demo floating around on the internet that we made for Epic Games’ UDK launch last year, but it is outdated and does not represent the quality of the final game will be like.

  • Q: Will there be boxed version?

    • There will be a boxed version. The game will be available via both retail and digitial distribution.

  • Q: What languages will The Ball be localized into?
