Why Early Access?

“We are looking to go into early access for three main reasons:

• Feedback and Balancing. We want to create an open and iterative feedback loop with our community. This is particularly important since this game is both a JRPG and a roguelike and finding the perfect balance will be critical. We would love to hear feedback on balance, where we need to improve, what features players love and which ones they hate.
  
• Endgame ascension gameplay modes. We plan to create end game play modes where players can compete with others, but need feedback and player info in order to finalize this.
  
• We plan to expand the games roster of monsters, moves, and types and need to focus on feedback to develop these in the most fun way.

”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for roughly 12 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to have dedicated competitive modes, an ascension end-game system, as well as the general quality of life improvements generated by the feedback provided by the community through Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The majority of gameplay elements have been implemented with a focus on creating a foundation that the game will grow upon. All of the features listed on the "About This" section of the Monster Path store page are currently available to play. We do plan to update this list over time as we are able to implement new features and changes through an iterative approach.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Pricing for Monster Path is planned to be slightly increased once the game is complete and new features are implemented.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“With our previous games, we received feedback through the steam community page. We plan to engage with our community there as well as our Discord server and active YouTube channel. Our goal is to be transparent about our process and features and to incorporate our community during development.
