Why Early Access?

“After giving the game time to polish, I decided that in order to fully expand and improve upon it, a stint in early access was necessary. This type of game necessitates levels of community and playtesting that can be achieved through releasing into early access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be launched out of early access once the balance and polish are enough for me to feel comfortable with launching, likely around 3-4 months.”

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

“Alongside increasing polish and balance that will be achieved throughout the early access period, we hope to add many more features:

• Increased roster of characters with launch bringing 2-3 more
  
• Increased number of maps with launch bringing 1-2 more
  
• Online play and matchmaking

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access release of the game has the full functionality that will be present in the final launch of the game. Bangers & Mash currently has 4 maps and 8 unique potato characters plus fully functioning local-multiplayer deathmatches.”

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

“The game will be priced the same from early access to launch, however, after launch new characters will be unlocked in paid DLC packs of 2 characters and a map.”

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

“I currently run a Chiodo Studios Twitter (https://twitter.com/chiodostudios), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/chiodostudios/), and Youtube page, but the main way that the Bangers & Mash community can interact with eachother and myself is through our discord server, (https://discord.gg/fprPu25), which is actively moderated and provides communication about bugs, new ideas, or anything else related to the game.”
