Miksi Early Access?

While BOMTILES in its current state can be considered a complete game, our goal is to make BOMTILES a balanced, exciting, competitive experience for players of all skill-levels. To accomplish this, we are looking to work closely with the community, to identify and resolve potential balance issues, as well as design and develop compelling new features and game-modes!

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We are working diligently to overhaul existing systems, balance current gameplay, as well as design new features and updates based on feedback. We are looking to finalize and distribute the game's "Ranked" mode in an appropriate manner. While we can't promise any final release dates, it can be assured that the game will always be free and available to play while we slowly work on development.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

While the current version is playable in a "Casual" format (Online Matchmaking, Online Friend vs. Friend, and Player vs. Computer), we are looking to add additional formats, including a Local / Hot-Seat Player vs. Player, and a "Ranked" Player vs. Player game-mode, using a dedicated server.

Additionally, we are looking to flesh out the current item selection in the game, and provide more compelling features. For example, we would like to implement a crafting system, that will allow players to combine multiple items into a single, more powerful item with unique effects. We also want to add multi-part / puzzle items, where players need to piece together different items to unlock their full potential.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The current Early Access version of BOMTILES is a fully playable game, complete with Player vs. Player, and Player vs. Computer game-types. There are multiple items to be discovered and used during the game, as well as an in-game Item Shop, for players to actively exchange / upgrade items. There are four locations available, to provide variety to each game, as well as a full "Experience" system, where players can level up their accounts simply by playing the game.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

BOMTILES is free to play! This is represents our first network-capable game, and is only exciting if people are constantly playing. The price for the game will not be increased at launch. Anyone who wishes to support development of BOMTILES can do so by purchasing soon-to-be-released "Supporter Packages", which will contain additional cosmetic items for the in-game avatars. Purchasing this content will not have an effect on game-play or strategy, nor is it required.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

BOMTILES, as a predominantly Player vs. Player strategy game, will be heavily reliant on community feedback in order to achieve balanced, exciting gameplay. This information can only be garnered through hundreds of hours of play, by multiple players, in multiple gameplay scenarios. We are very excited to work with the community to design and implement additional items, features, and game-modes.

Players can submit their suggestions under the "Feedback & Suggestions" section of the Discussions page. We look forward to reading all of your comments, and working with everyone to make BOMTILES as exciting as possible!
