Why Early Access?

“Nonsense Soccer is currently my hobby project and I don't have as much time to locally playtest it as I could if I worked on it full time. I also have lots of ideas for essential new features and I feel that while the game is already quite fun, it needs the extra effort to be truly great. It's very important to me that the kind folks who enjoy my games get the best experience from the final game. I feel Early Access is the best way for me to get the game in the hands of enthusiastic players who can provide me with valuable feedback, if they so choose, and help me make the best game I can with my limited resources.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“My release plan is not set in stone and as hobby projects these things take a bit longer but I strongly feel it's quite possible to finish a set of features I can call a "final product" as soon as the end of 2025. This is subject to change as the game develops further.”

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

“The final game will include more polished gameplay, visual and audio and lots of more content in the form of new arenas, balls, cosmetics and possibly new game modes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As of writing, the first early access build is the second major update for the game, with a reasonable amount of polish. The local multiplayer mode is fully playable by up to 4 players, includes keyboard and controller support and the first version of a single-player target practice mode. It could be called a fully fledged small game already.”

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

“I plan to gradually raise the price as I ship new content and features. Price will most likely also change when the game leaves early access. I will try to be very open about any price changes and communicate those changes well in advance.”

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

“I'm looking for direct feedback from players so that I can fix design issues, bugs and the like. I'm interested in learning how the gameplay experience changes as players improve and adjust the game so that the experience stays fresh and exciting for new and more experienced players. Planned update roadmaps will be posted in advance to Steam Community forums.”
