Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“We're a small team of 10 people and we are very realistic about our resources versus our ambitions with Overstep.

Early Access is the perfect opportunity to provide a fun game the moment the team is happy with the core mechanics. While we have a clear vision for the game, players will always see Overstep from a different and refreshing perspective. Through building the community and setting up a convenient feedback loop, Early Access allows us to discuss updates, new features and listen to your feedback to create a game we can all play for an enternity.

The core mechanic of Overstep is acrobatic movement and winning through entertaining the crowd. The other main element is combat. Taking time to make sure every new feature compliments what’s there already, will let us thoughtfully and consistently deliver great content.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“We have not set a due date for Overstep to leave Early Access. It’s important to us that the game fully launches in a state that respects both the original vision and feedback from your Early Access experiences.

That said, we're planning a full launch in roughly 24 months from the Early Access launch, in November 2021.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“The Early Access version is all about the core experience and fun, fun, fun! That said, there are a number of features that we have designed and plan to add to the game. Some of them are:

- Game of the week
- Highlight of the match
- New maps
- New game modes
- New combat mechanics (i.e. ability system)
- Pickups around the levels
- Leaderboards

The Early Access features:
One main game mode - one more planned through-out Early Access
One gameplay level - a few more planned through-out Early Access
Both freerunning and combat mechanics”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“For Early Access, the core gameplay experience is fully implemented and will continue being polished. We are keeping a close eye on what affects the replayability of Overstep the most, making sure every new match is as least as much fun as the last one.

Early Access Features:
- 3 versus 3 multiplayer
- Practice mode
- One playable level
- One robot model with options for customisation
- One main Overstep game mode
- Freerunning movement mechanics
- Combat system with hitscan and projectile weapons
- In-game cosmetic purchases”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“If you decide to support the development of the game and make an in-game purchase, you will definitely get to keep everything when we go into full launch.

We don't plan to change the price of the in-game currency when moving from Early-Access to full release.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“Our dream for Overstep is for it to become a competitive game, with a vast professional scene. To reach that goal, it’s critical to involve the community through the following discussions:

• Gameplay balance
  
• 
  
• Suggestions and ideas
  
• 
  
• Bug finding
