Why Early Access?

“Outer Darkness is fully playable and has a lot of content for players currently, as six out of the eight planned elemental game modes are completed already. However, I want to add two more elements and a difficulty system that greatly increases replay ability. I also highly value the feedback I receive from others and would like to take this time in Early Access to improve the game based on said feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It should be less than 2 months, depending on feedback and what bugs are found.”

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

“The full version will have all eight elements fully playable and a scaling difficulty system to increase the game's replay ability, as well as some general polish and quality of life improvements. I will also make several balance and bug fix passes as issues are found, to improve the quality of the final product.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version allows full game completion with 6 of the elemental game modes (Ice, Fire, Water, Thunder, Earth, Wind.) Each element features 3 skills and 9 spells, each having a host of augments to change how each run is played.”

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

“No.”

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

“I want to have an open discussion on the community page, Twitter, Discord, and email. I am open to all feedback and would love to hear from the community, in order to make a better gameplay experience for everyone.”
