Why Early Access?

“I'd like help from the community in making this game, and early access seems like a great way to do it. The game is technically a complete game at this point. But I think I'm on to something bigger. I want to build and expand on it. Help me with ideas, suggestions, criticism, whatever you want. As long as it's to make the game better!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Development is a notoriously difficult thing to estimate. However, I'll guess about 4-8 months of early access. Also depends on how many great ideas y'all come up with.”

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

“More backgrounds, enemies, bosses, power-ups, sounds, music, and upgraded graphics. Achievements. I have ideas about extra endings as well as other end-game content like challenges. I'm learning here, to be honest, and we can be in this together. My goal is to make something great, and use this experience to build even greater things.

First purchasers should absolutely be aware this is an Early Access (unfinished) release. Certain features, like achievements, steam saves, and trading cards, are NOT implemented yet.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You might consider it early alpha. The base game is complete, which is a brutal gauntlet/arena mode where the player takes on waves of increasingly powerful and amounts of enemies with a few bosses, and over 80 upgrades. The gameplay and controls are where I want them to be, but art and sound are still changing. Sound especially. At the moment art, music, and sfx are extremely limited and avant-garde and may very well change. Do not become attached... In addition, upgrades are easy to come by. In the future, they may be erased from save files to "properly" earn them.”

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

“There is the possibility the game price will be changed during or after early access.”

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

“Join us on our discord server to talk game design! I'm looking for help in a lot of areas, especially art, music, sfx, and marketing!

I plan on releasing weekly updates to the game throughout early access with updates that come from your suggestions.
