Why Early Access?

“DestructoPod was developed in a vacuum and needs community feedback and support. The game has been in development for many years and we now feel there is enough content for an early release. There is still a laundry list of things we would like to add such as power ups, shields and bigger destructible structures. We are hoping that the community feedback will help focus our scope on what matters most to players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Probably 18 months. The engine needs some work and there are new levels and content to be finished.”

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

“Game play will remain basically the same. There will be a FPS and a flight mode. We may add additional levels and content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Game ships with 21 levels and has all systems operational.”

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

“Price will increase as new features come on line.”

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

“This game uses a new destruction engine that requires some fine tuning. Early adopters will have the option to provide performance feedback so we can improve the engine to it's maximum potential.

DestructoPod has 4 types of levels: target shooting, obstacle avoidance, problem solving and dog fighting. More levels are in the works, but we'd like to hear from the community which type of levels they like the best and kinds of power ups they'd like to see. The trench combat flying game genre has a lot of possibilities.

Speed is a factor in DestructoPod. Each level has a par time or an average amount of time it should take someone to complete the course. Improving on that time scores points. We've determined some baseline par times. Using the Steam leader board we can adjust the par times to reflect a larger cross section of players.”
