Why Early Access?

“Rize of the Summonds is my first game, and I've gathered positive feedback from followers on twitter, discord, instagram and reddit stating that the game mechanic looks unique, promising and fun and the art style is amazing, but the animations needs improvements. Therefore, not only am I using early access to gather more feedback to act on immediately, I will use the funds to hire animators who specializes in 2D Spine Animation tool, to greatly polish all of the animations. At this point of development, I need your helping hands to help finish this game.”

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

“I plan on involving the community in my development process by actively listening to their feedback and making the necessary improvements/adjustments based on popular demand. I will create a voting sessions for each interesting ideas shared by the community (rather its an enemy or weapon concept, puzzle idea, level layout, etc) that will give each member of the community a chance to pitch their idea and the opportunity to be selected.”
