Why Early Access?

“An extensive demo of CrossCode was released back in 2015 and we’re currently working full-time to complete the game. For players, Early Access is an opportunity to get access to new content as early as possible and to further support development of CrossCode. For us, it’s also a great source of feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access will continue until the game is completed. Until then, we plan to release updates on a regular basis (usually around every two month). We target a final release for beginning 2017.”

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

“The full game will complete the story of CrossCode with a playtime of about 15-20 hours. The first updates of the Early Access version will continue the story of the former demo, while later updates will focus on gameplay components, introducing new areas, enemies, dungeons and puzzles. In order to deliver the story in the most effective way, we plan to release the final part of the plot - including the major twists and its conclusion - with the final version of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version comes with most core mechanics completed and polished, including movement, physics, combat, puzzles, menu systems, NPC etc. It also features 60-70% of the planned areas and about 30-40% of the story. Quickly playing through the incomplete story will result of a playtime of around 4-5 hours. If you take your time exploring the environment, grinding for items and solving quest, you can reach a playtime of up to 15-20 hours with the current version already.”

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

“The price for the early access version might be reduced once we get closer to the release.”

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

“The community can give us feedback to any available content of the game, such as enemies, attack skills, puzzles and plot developments. We will use this feedback to create a well balanced and fun experience for as many players as possible. We may also consider suggestions for new enemy types, skills, equipment among other things.”
