Miksi 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.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

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. :)

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

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.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

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.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

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.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

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.
