Varför Early Access?

“Lightphobe is an experimental multiplayer game that I'm creating as a solo dev. The biggest challenge I've faced throughout the game's development is in gathering feedback; especially on the multiplayer aspect of the game.

Throughout Early Access, I'll be constantly listening for feedback and incorporating as much of it into the game as possible. If all goes well, we'll have a truly fun and unique experience at the end of it all :)”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Lightphobe's full release is expected to happen in either Q4 2025 or Q1 2026; meaning the duration of Early Access is expected to be around 2 years.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The following features are planned for the full version:

• singleplayer support (i.e. bot support on both sides)
  
• unique abilities for the different Lightphobe loadouts
  
• a new map
  
• general improvements (e.g. game mechanics, visuals, AI, UI, FX, etc.)

”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“All of the planned features listed above have now been implemented.

As of this writing, I'm working on a final update to the game's tutorial; after which the game will be ready for its 1.0 release. ”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“During Early Access, the base price of the game will gradually increase as new content is added. As of this writing, Lightphobe has reached its final base price (9.99 USD) and it will no longer be changed.

Note that a large promotional discount is currently planned for the 1.0 launch, so consider adding Lightphobe to your Steam wishlist if you'd like to be notified when that happens.”
