Wozu Early Access?

„I believe that Early Access will allow Hot Tiles to be a better game at the time of release. With feedback from a larger audience I'll see what parts of the game require improvement, and players may request useful features which I didn't think of — I'll do my best to implement them.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„It will take roughly two-three months.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„I plan to implement several usability features, change some of the visuals and add sound. The full version will also have more achievements.

Gameplay-wise no major changes are planned, so if you do not like what the game offers right now, it's probably not worth purchasing for you.

Depending on your feedback the plans might change.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The core gameplay is ready. There are two game modes, you can select level sizes from 3x3 to 12x7, compete with your own highscores and earn some achievements. Puzzle progress can be saved to continue later.

There is no sound or background music right now.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„The price will most likely stay the same after the end of Early Access stage.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„I'll focus primarily on Steam community discussions and reviews since all players can easily access those.

From time to time I'll ask for opinions on implementing certain features or visuals, or if something should be customizable to fit more players.

Unfortunately, Steam does not allow polls so I might hold those at some external platform.

If players come up with interesting Achievement ideas, I'll add those to the game.“
