Why 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.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“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.”

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

“It is our goal, by the time we complete development, to have the following features in the game.
- Full seamless controller support
- Multiplayer Co-op(vp) You and your allies can quickly become your own worst enemy after all
- Intermission level select screens
- The ability to chat with other players between levels
- Unique and fun special abilities to enhance and broaden your options for victory
- A storyline that will follow the adventure of your little Stringbuddy to save the Stringverse and its inhabitants!
- Higher definition graphical assets and level backgrounds
- Chill and playful music!
- The ability to customize your Stringbuddy with different colors and potentially outfits”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently we have several levels that will let you get a general feeling of the way the game will play. The controls of the character and the interactions between friend and foe will likely be permanent assets to the game. Presently our features include:
- Keyboard and Mouse controls
- 1 character to play with
- 3 fast paced and crazy levels to challenge including one boss fight
- 1 special ability
- 4 varieties of power up gems”

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

“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.”

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

“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.
