Why Early Access?

“I am a lone indie developer working on this game Rico-Jump as a side-project. With no other developer in my team, it is easy to develop features that do not lead to good gameplay without realising it. By going early access I hope to get lots of input from other players guiding my developing-focus on things that actually matter and improve the gameplay and the fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Depending on how much time I am able to spend developing for Rico-Jump I hope to leave early access in late 2021. Again, this is a side-project to my actual work, which I am doing full-time. So expect delays. :)”

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

“In the full version of Rico-Jump more maps, better models and customizables will be available. Further, more mechanics like bunny-hopping, surfing and maybe even a grappling hook and wall-running are planned and added successively as development proceeds.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the first Tier of maps is playable. You can battle against the highscores of other players for each of the levels in single-player mode. Further, four multi-player maps are available, where you can jump and try to beat highscores together.”

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

“The game will be free-to-play even after it leaves the early-access phase. Minor cosmetic-only DLCs will be added to help the development.”

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

“Community is everything! As stated above, this game is currently in a state where the idea of it is visible, but still needs a lot of polishing. I am open for any feature requests and happy to implement them. In the end, I would love to gather a small community and together, create a game that is fun to play.

Please feel free to criticize and give suggestions in the Steam-Community Hub page or write me a message on Twitter.
Reddit and Discord pages will be provided in case the game attracts a larger community.”
