Why Early Access?

“I am developing JPN Burst to help people who struggle with staying focused when it comes to learning Japanese. While there are many apps that teach and instruct, they are the equivalent of worksheets and repetitious memorization. I want to make learning more accessible and engaging to where people are eager to keep going, rather than having to push themselves to a routine.

However, keeping that excitement for learning is a difficult challenge and everyone approaches learning differently. I want the players' input to understand what works and what doesn't work in keeping people engaged with learning.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I do not have a set target date. As I am in charge of all aspects of the game (including marketing), I find it really difficult to predict any kind of release date.”

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

“I plan to add the following to the full version:
A fully-featured story
More fleshed out game modes and environments
More customization
More content for the New Game+ system.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Players can learn the entire Japanese alphabet in the game's current state.

The harder difficulties have not been tested yet.”

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

“I plan to gradually raise the price as I add new content and features.”
