Why Early Access?

“Studios have been making VR demos for years. The platform is still in its infancy, and developers are still figuring out the works when it comes to game mechanics and general user experience. Some people feel nauseated when moving about, others do not, and hardware has yet to meet an industry standard. We get it. But we also get that players are hungry for something with more substance. We want to provide this, while at the same time, not put all our financial assets in the virtual basket. Being in Early Access allows us to get unfiltered feedback from you, the community, and use that to tweak the game’s direction and improve the overall experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don’t expect Early Access to last more than 9 months.”

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

“The full launch version of Karnage Chronicles will feature two extra classes, additional content, additional RPG elements, game difficulty settings, a village hub, hand-crafted Steam Trading Cards, a full range of Steam Achievements, and full 1-4 player co-op (with friendly fire, so watch your back). A more detailed description can be found under Discussions.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable. There will be bugs in need of fixing and optimization to be done, and some features and play areas have not yet been added, but overall we believe that the current state of the game is a decent representation of the finished product.”

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

“Pricing of the final launch version of Karnage Chronicles is yet to be decided. We're likely to raise the price during Early Access to reflect that the game is closer to a finished state, but the overall Early Access price will be lower than the final launch version.

What is important to note, is that chapters after Early Access launch will be added to the game as paid DLCs. Players who buy in to Early Access will get the 2nd chapter included in their purchase before the game reaches full launch.”

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

“We want feedback! Both the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly will help us improve the game. What aspect of the game do you find enjoyable, what do you dislike, and what bugs are you encountering? We want to know everything so we can improve the experience.”
