What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Life circumstances have forced me to publish this game earlier than I would've liked, and it's not yet in a state where I'm satisfied with it. I see Early Access as a great opportunity to get the game out while continuing to work on it and also gather feedback to make the full version as good as it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I estimate that this game will be in Early Access for somewhere between 12 to 24 months.”

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

“I plan for the full version to offer extra content and storyline after you complete the currently included levels. Some levels may change, scripting API may also change, and I plan to improve the level editor. I will also listen to feedback from the community in order to improve the overall experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All features mentioned on the store page are included. The game has 35 challenging hand-crafted levels, and there are endless procedurally generated levels as well. Each level has a leaderboard with replays that you can race against. You can also create and share levels, and download them from Workshop. The level editor and scripting API are not final and may be unstable at the moment.”

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

“The price of the game will increase as I add more content.”

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

“I have a specific vision for the full version of this game, but I'm also open to suggestions and I pay close attention to feedback. You can share your thoughts in Steam Discussions, or you can talk to me directly on my Discord server: https://discord.gg/hjYjy4gfUD”

About This Game

...Have you ever seen these videos where neural networks learn to control physics-based characters?

In LOCOMOTORICA: Staggering Ragdoll, you are the neural network.

You are in control of an active ragdoll in a computer physics simulation. Move your legs manually with gamepad sticks and triggers to retain balance and walk.
You have various tasks to complete:

This game can be challenging at first, as it is partially inspired by QWOP, a 2008 game by Bennett Foddy. But if you get a feel for it, you can walk and navigate the environment with little effort, as demonstrated above.

(UPD: This game was made before Bennett Foddy announced "Baby Steps")

Innovative character controls and physics
30+ challenging hand-crafted tasks
