Why Early Access?

“The core of Markerboard Jungle: Frogs is built and at a fun playable stage, so we'd now benefit greatly from player feedback to help guide its development moving forward. Our main goals with the Early Access phase are to make game updates available for playing right away, to learn from players what they enjoy about it, what changes they'd like to see, and to improve awareness of the world of Markerboard Jungle with regular postings about the Frogs and their development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our approach is "slow and steady" towards completing the Early Access phase, with no more than a few months between each game update. We will officially launch as soon as all of the major features are in the game.”

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

“We'll be paying close attention throughout the Early Access phase to player reactions, and testing results from devices such as the Steam Deck and a variety of controllers, and other feedback. We aim to add features that are guided by this sort of feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Playable features in Early Access currently include:

• An exploration game as a Frog. Start as a tadpole, explore the area, chase food, find safe homes to capture, and eventually gather other frogs to complete the life cycle.
  
• Frog Food: Beetles, Crickets, Houseflys, and Slugs are currently on the menu.
  
• Frog Facts and Tadpole Trivia to read as you play.

”

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

“Pricing is to be determined.”

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

“Our plan is to involve the game forums, our social media, email and other DM methods, keep the dialogue open and respond as quickly as we can.”
