Why Early Access?

“This game turned out to be rather more ambitious in scope than I had initially anticipated, especially for a single person. As such, I have a lot of the grunt work still to do because there's just so much of it. I want to release the game on a per-episode basis (see below) in part because the episodic structure is a staple of mid-90s shooters, but also so I can then incorporate feedback from the first episode into the second and third.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Probably longer than I would like because that's how these things usually pan out, isn't it. I'm hoping for somewhere between six and nine months, but only time will tell.”

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

“The full version is to include three episodes with ten levels (plus secret bonus levels) each. This also involves more enemies and weapons.
Once the full version is released, the first episode is supposed to become the "Shareware Version" - in other words, a demo.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The base is largely finished, there is still a lot of modeling, texturing, rendering and especially mapping work to do.
Six weapons are currently implemented fully, as well as seven enemy types, although the enemy AI still needs tweaking.
The bulk of the remaining workload is level creation, but since even "finished" levels are still subject to change as the game progresses I'm not ready to say that even one of them is truly done. However, I am willing to put it as "five levels are currently in progress" and two of them haven't seen significant changes in a while.”

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

“Price will not change when we leave Early Access.”

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

“Community feedback will, where appropriate, be incorporated into later releases, as the players' enjoyment is important to me and I want them to be happy.
Players are encouraged to leave their feedback, good or bad as long as it is constructive, in the forums. I'll do my best to address criticism both in replying and, where applicable, in fixing the game.”
