Why Early Access?

“Shikari Rising is the first title released by BlosSum Games, a one-man game dev studio
(occasionally gets help from his long-time boss, investor and friend) therefore, I'd like to make sure that I'm going the right direction by allowing my supporters to become an integral part the this game's development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I estimate finishing the game within 1.5 years - 2.5 yrs from now. But I would like to set my goal to have a release date around ( December of 2021). I'd appreciate all the help guys... :')”

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

“There are lots of game features I wanted to put into the game but sadly lacked the time and resources to implement it. Being a metroidvania-style action rpg game, collecting items, weapons and armour are but one aspect of it and therefore, I plan to implement it as the development of the game continues. The final version will have much more content than the Early Access version as more skills, spells, monsters and bosses are created.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“* Initial attack is a 1-hit attack of your sword, a jumping sword-attack and a low sword-attack
* Ability to Backdash at the onset of the game(make sure to check out the configuration at the Main Menu to customise your keys/button config)
* As you gain a level, your HP and MP will increase and at certain levels you will gain more attack hits (for now, upto 3 sword attack hits but can be connected
later with mana-based skills) to fight better with the hordes of enemies in way.
* Explore every nook and cranny to discover items such as Potions and Gold bags and even Skills
* Consists of 1st Level of the game with 1 boss fight and 1 true boss fight at the end
* Average of 1-2 hours to beat the game (including retries)”

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

“The price will not change after it leaves Early Access ^^”

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

“Steam has provided a nice way to interact with supporters through the publisher/developer pages. Once everything is set up, supporters can easily communicate with that platform as balance my time and I try to be active and provide you with prompt response ^^”
