Why Early Access?

“After being in development for a few years now, Catacomb Kids has now reached a point where the core of game is fun and playable. From here on out, I want to continue development in an open fashion that allows players to keep up with the game's progress in a way that lets them experience it firsthand.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access until it's complete. I'm just one dude so it might be a while! Until that time comes, you can support the game and receive updates about the game's development by following my Twich livestream.

New builds will be released as new features are added, tested, and confirmed stable.”

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

“The full version will have four environments to traverse, several more bosses to fight, and dozens of skills and abilities. Most of what's currently missing are the two remaining environments and a proper final boss.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently the game is fully playable, with two of the four planned environments completed, and three large bosses implemented. There are also fully functional local-coop and versus modes.

Most of the game's systems are in place and functional with the remainder of the work largely consisting of fleshing out and expanding the world with new enemies, traps, environments, etc. Due to the procedural nature of levels though, there is currently enough game present to keep players well occupied until the new areas become available.”

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

“It will be the same price upon release.”

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

“I host regular, weekly livestreams where I engage with players as I work on the latest features for the game. Several features of the game that have already been implemented have come directly from my interactions with people in the Twitch chat!

You can also find me on the game's official discord, where I'm very active.”
