Miksi Early Access?

As a group of two people who are also working our own full time jobs, this game is a passion project that we develop during our personal time away from work. It is our hope to be able to invite people to see the game and experience it as the shell forms into a greater whole including new characters, customizations, and storylines. Our goal for early access is to ensure that we can gauge community interest and involve player feedback in the development of a public roadmap for completion. We have always wanted development of this, and all of our future games, to be player-centric. Everything to date has been designed through the lens of what we think is fun. With the input from the community we will have a better idea of what our little Stringverse will ultimately become.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

At this stage we will be in early access for as long as it takes to create what we feel are a sufficient number of levels and features to be considered a full feature game. At this stage we are estimating that it will take approximately 9-12 months to bring the current code we have to a game we'd call a release build. Based on that estimate we predict that early 2022 the game will be much closer to our expected goals outlined in the next section.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

- 3 fast paced and crazy levels to challenge including one boss fight

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

It will likely increase in price by a certain nominal amount depending on how much the content changes and depending on any needs for professional assistance for improved artwork if needed. If it stays within our capabilities the price will likely not change.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We are hoping to include everyone who is interested and participating with us to share all of their thoughts, ideas, and desires for the game and we will do our best to take all the feedback and implement it in order to make the game as fun for everyone as possible. Based on all the feedback we receive we will be making direct changes to the features of the game pending community support for the ideas. Support will be measured using public polls on our various contact areas. To ensure we are able to complete this task we will be utilizing several ways to contact us.
