Why Early Access?

“Game development requires an incredible amount of iteration, and with that comes a large amount of work before a game is really considered "done". However, as of right now, Dragon Drop is fully playable as a local multiplayer co-op game. While we wouldn't consider it "done" yet, we still want to have folks be able to play the game and give us crucial feedback, ideas, and all sorts of other input to help shape the game into the best game that we can make!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We'd like to estimate about a year or so; we'd like to fully launch the game simultaneously as a full release on all our planned platforms at once, and this gives us plenty of time to build the game towards what it can become!”

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

“We'd like to add the following features (not an exhaustive list) if we can to help flesh out the content to make it something that puts a smile on your face for years to come.

- A full party mode, with items/power-ups, stage hazards, and random events
- An online mode, allowing folks to play with others around the world
- A story mode, giving players space to improve their skills and enjoy a humorous story
- A creative mode, allowing folks to customize dragons, make stages, and more”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As of right now, Dragon Drop is fully playable as a local multiplayer co-op game. It will continue to stay in this playable state while we add content and expand what we support in-game! We believe that Dragon Drop is currently at the full value of its price tag, and we hope to continue to add to the game, making your early access copy worth more than you paid for it.”

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

“Yes, we'd like to keep the price lower during early access to help folks get copies for themselves and friends, as you all are helping to fund the future of the game! As we put more work into the game and add significant amounts of replayability to what we already have, we'll be raising the price to reflect the overall growth in value of the game. We will be increasing the price once we hit Beta, and upon our full release.”

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

“So far, we've already had multiple design contests for hats, pico dragon colors, and more on our Discord server to help get the community involved in our brainstorming process. We'd love to hear more of your feedback, and we hope to hold more events along these lines! <3”
