Why Early Access?

“I want Rushberry Mercs to be a fun and deep multiplayer game.
Early access is a way for me to meet different players and find which part of the game are the most important and what parts I should leave behind. The bonus also need to be balanced : I want to see what are the best builds, read your opinion about them and adjust the power of each bonus .”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Maybe 6-8 month of early access should be enough if I have enough play tests.”

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

“I plan to improve ergonomy but also add ( or remove ) options and feature for the game.
including :

• new shop options in the character selection screen
  
• new bonus capsules to get in the game.
  
• new shapers which modify game behavior
  
• new levels

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“the actual game features are :

• up to 4 players.
  
• Competitive IA to replace missing players.
  
• fully destructible environment, mine it with missiles to find berrydium
  
• fast-paced sessions ( each game is 2:30 )
  
• 12 shop options to choose from on each game.
  
• 4x characters with 2 exclusive shop options each.

”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“Because of the few 4 player tests I had, I totally need the community feedback to finish this game. Things I'm looking forward to discuss with players is :

• options power : Are they all worth their price ? What are the best options ?
  
• Characters balance / Starting positions : Are they all balanced ?
  
• Shapers : They are game modifier I plan to add to the game. I have few ideas in mind, but I want you to help me to find more.
