Miksi Early Access?

Early Access will allow an even greater level of player involvement in the development of the Break-In. The regular open playtests I have been running have already helped to shape the direction of the game, and a permanent Early Access period is a great way to continue to allow players to give their feedback and ideas before the game is in a complete state.

The current game features 4 levels with randomized rooms, residents, and entry points. The current levels are focused around low-level burglary, and include suburban houses and stores, as well as a mall. There are 5 getaway vehicles to unlock, ranging from a simple bicycle to a huge RV. There are 13 gear items to help you climb, distract, knock out, and infiltrate. Across the game levels, there are over 500 different stealable items, with nearly everything in a level being stealable.

I will continue to engage with the community through the game's Steam Community Page and Discord server, gathering feedback and holding polls as I have done through the open alpha playtest periods. Many of the game's features have already been influenced by alpha testers, and I hope to keep this up through Early Access.
