Miksi Early Access?

Early access lets me improve my game according to opinions, reviews, and requests of the players, but also remove any technical problems. This game is a one man project, so the development process has its obvious limitations. Early access lets me overcome these limitations and create a small and enjoyable product inspired by older, more traditional 2d platformers, which many of us love.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

The release date would be somewhere in the neighborhood of October or November 2021. I hope that that is enough time to create a small yet enjoyable 2D game for casual play.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

Full version of the game is suppose to have more content like new levels, new enemies, improved animations and graphics, more sound effects. The general idea of the game stays the same - clean the dungeon - destroy the monsters. I'm considering a new game mode or modes, like for example time challenge with leader boards, but you have to keep in mind that so far there is nothing set in stone in this area. First task is simple - more dungeons, more traps, more enemies and some randomization for replayability. Steam achievements will also be implemented in the future.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

In current state the game is a small but fully playable 2d action platformer for a single player. Your task in the game is to use different types of bombs to destroy all the monsters in the dungeon and to avoid deadly traps at the same time. There is also an additional "hard mode" in which you can try to "clean" the dungeon with only one life.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

This is suppose to be a small and cheap game for everyone and anyone, so it won't be pricey anyway, but I think that it would be fair to put at least a little bit bigger price tag on the game after the full release, if there is enough content to justify it of course.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?
