Why Early Access?

“We've been using Early Access to steer Trivia Tricks development in a community-centric direction. Our goal is to create the ultimate trivia game that works as a casual party game as well as a competitive stage. Early Access is giving us the time we need to incorporate community ideas and ensure we can cater to a wide target audience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plan is to leave Early Access before the end of 2023! We have completed our proposed roadmap and are in the final stages of polish and additions before releasing a 1.0 release and graduating from Early Access.”

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

“We focused our roadmap on delivering a Co-Op team game format, community additions through Workshop question packs and Twitch Integration to play with a Twitch Chatroom. Our latest addition was a Friend Pass version of Trivia Tricks that allows friends to play for free. We are also releasing regular updates which expand the question count, character cosmetic options and adds additional in-game challenges.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Trivia Tricks has a fully realized trivia mode that can be played solo against CPUs, offline locally with friends and family, and online with both friends and random players. Players can play against each other or co-operatively against several boss characters. There are 13 categories based on both classic trivia and niche interests and tons of community-created question packs available through Steam Workshop. Our character creator is filled with a range of cosmetics to unlock through achievements and challenges. Additionally, we offer a Friend Pass version to allow friends to join lobbies for free.”

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

“There has been a small price during Early Access to reflect the increased content added. There are no further plans to increase the price upon leaving Early Access.”

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

“Our substantial regular updates are shaped by the invaluable feedback we receive from our community on Discord and the Steam Community Hub. For example, our players were clear we should promote Boss Mode from a seasonal event to permanent mainstay. We've delivered numerous Trivia hosting improvements by player request, such as adjustable chance round odds and joining lobbies in-progress. Additionally, every update features new questions written by the members of our community and those users are accredited when the question is asked! We’re incredibly proud of our Early Access record, and the three of us are always available in Discord!”
