What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This is my first full release onto Steam. There are many things that I would like to change in the game, but there are also probably many things that need to be changed that I do not know about. Right now I want the opportunity to increase the quality of my game with player feedback, without the expectation of a full finished product.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Right now this project is on a hiatus. We hope to see it near completion in the next few months. Until then, I am looking for as much feedback as possible!”

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

“With the full version, we plan to have finalized audio, visuals, and gameplay. This includes more polished versions of existing audio, audio for weapons and actions that currently do not have audio such as class abilities, some changes to town and area sprites, a lot of general polish for gameplay, the addition of new bosses, and potentially more areas, enemies, classes, or weapons. More details are included in the "What is the current state of the Early Access version?" section.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Similar in MANY ways to the final version. The about this section goes into more details. But the current build includes:
90-100% of all the levels that will be in the final release.
Enough weapons for me to be able to fully release the game. Except some may need some polish and a few more may be added.
All the characters/classes that will be available on release.

Something that is notably missing is the final boss and potentially other bosses. That is something I plan on adding in the near future.”

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

“We do not plan on changing the price after release.”

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

“Community feedback is INCREDIBLY valuable to me. I want to know about all of your bugs, ideas, and feedback that you have for The Gun Knight. You can give feedback on the steam discussion board, or on our discord. ”
