Why Early Access?

“We want to work closely with the community as we continue development of our first game. We are very passionate about this, and your feedback is an invaluable contribution to help us shape our game to its fullest potential!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to have the game be in early access for about 5-6 months. We have clearly defined our scope for 1.0, and at the pace that we have been developing the game, this is our best estimation for how long this should take.”

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

“Though we've come a long way from the start of this project, there's still a lot we want to do! We're just getting started on implementing boss fights that will add a new level of depth and challenge to the game. Next we'll tackle the addition of a special final boss fight to end off your run with. We also plan on adding a new playable character: the Commando, with a full set of items for them to unlock! (We have more playable characters planned, but we made the decision for these new content additions to fall as updates after 1.0) We're also excited about adding functionality to our logbook, so players can properly inspect and read entries behind the game's items, mercenaries, enemies, and more! There's also a lot of polish work that we would like to do, to smoothen out and enhance the game's experience. Not to mention the addition of new sound effects and music! (And cloud saving, leaderboards, improved menus, and gameplay options!)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, we have the core wave defense gameplay fully functional! You can play the game with mouse & keyboard, or with a controller, but we're still polishing some aspects of controller support. There are over 60 general items that can be obtained by all characters, and each mercenary has an additional 16 that are unique to them, totalling out to over 100 items that you can pick up in your runs! We plan to continually add new items all throughout development, keep an eye out for them in our patch notes! We have 3 playable mercenaries, each with their own unique weapons, abilities and passives. Our goal with each one is to have fun & fresh gameplay that is different the last. There are a total of 85 steam achievements in the game, each is tied to a piece of content that is unlocked when they are completed! The game has one map right now that will change as you progress deeper into your run, it has various features and utilities that you can make use of during combat,”

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

“The game is going to be priced at a reduced rate during early access, We are working very hard on it and we will hold off on selling it at its full price until we have reached the quality and content level that we want from the 1.0 version of the game.”

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

“The community's feedback is integral to the development of our game. We try to push frequent patches with fixes and additions based on the feedback received from playtesting. Every single review, comment, and post on the steam forums is seen and heard by us, and we cannot thank you enough for playing our game! :)

We also have a Discord server that you can join if you'd like to directly connect with us and other community members!”
