Why Early Access?

“Hikati Games is an extremely small Indie Development team and in order to release the best game possible we need players and feedback. We intend to rapidly address any issues and game balance problems but since we have leaderboards and want the integrity of the game to remain solid we are choosing to do all balancing and game play changes during early access instead of releasing first.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“After initial feedback, we are looking into an expanded version of the PvP and some ways to include idle type gameplay to make this a unique blend of Tower Defense and Empire Building within a global PvP shared world.

The grand design and our determination to get things right will take a few years but will be playable just like it is currently, we never intend to stop supporting the game for our players.”

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

“The Full Version of TurretMaster will have a persistent leaderboard, in-depth community games built using the custom editor - each with their own persistent leaderboard and a full survival/endless waves mode.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is already stable and mostly feature complete. It includes:

• Full Campaign Mode with 12 Rounds and Leaderboards for each Round
  
• Indepth Technical Tree with Weapon Improvements for each Weapon Type
  
• 4 Weapons Types: Shell, Laser, Fire and Missiles
  
• The beginning of the Survival/Endless Rounds with Leaderboards for each Round
  
• Full Featured Level Editor for Creating Custom Campaigns
  
• Custom Game Search and Download plus voting and stats on each Custom game
  
• In game achievements

”

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

“We do intend to raise the price when we leave Early Access. We intend to be completely transparent about the details.”

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

“We encourage all feedback in the discussions. Every opinion will be accepted and reviewed, we will give honest answers. We are making this game for the players so it is only natural that the players decide what needs to be done with the game.”
