Защо „Ранен достъп“?

„As Puppet Master is being developed solely by me and I still maintain a full-time job, I need to gauge interest in my game and its development, so that I can properly manage expectations when building further features into the game.“

Приблизително колко дълго тази игра ще бъде в „Ранен достъп“?

„I am working hard to get Puppet Master completed and I am hoping it can be out of early access by roughly Q2 2023.“

Как ще се различава планираната пълна версия от тази в „Ранен достъп“?

„Early access will only be playable in single-player. With limited content in terms of characters, abilities, and maps. I am working hard to get the final version of Puppet Master to support local co-op.

Full version should also include

• More countries to choose from and play
  
• More abilities and traits to unlock
  
• Cosmetics for your main character
  
• More maps
  
• More unique bosses
  
• More enemy types

“

Какво е текущото състояние на версията в „Ранен достъп“?

„Puppet Master currently has all core game elements in place

• Choice between 3 stages (aka countries) to play, I have developed a stage builder, so introducing new stages will be easy going forward.
  
• Puppet Master has in-game currency that can be earned when completing rounds.
  
• Unlock abilities and purchase them with in-game currency.
  
• Place ability bracelets strategically on the limbs of your character, limbs can be lost during rounds which will cause those abilities to be lost.
  
• Purchase upgrades for abilities.
  
• There are 2 Maps available, one small and one large for bigger fights. I have developed a map builder already and I can introduce more maps easily.
  
• There are 5 bosses and 7 Different enemy types currently, once again I have developed character builders into my game with interchangeable traits so introducing new enemies can be done easily.

Ще има ли разлика в цената на играта по време на „Ранен достъп“ и след това?

„Early access is of course free but the final version may have a small price(TBC). I will ensure that any person that played during early access and supported its development will not be charged for the final version.“

Как планирате да ангажирате общността в процеса Ви на разработка?

„As Puppet Master is based on conquering countries and climbing to the top to ultimately fighting that country's Puppet Master. It leaves a lot of room for the community to get involved with ideas on enemy designs and even boss designs for each country available.

There is also room for ideas on weapons and even unlockable items, I feel like my ideas are good but a community always brings the best ideas when they work together.

One area I would like to focus on is game balancing and I feel I need a community to help with that level of fine-tuning.

There are currently 3 countries to choose and play from Britain, America, and South Africa but I know people from around the world would love to see their country in-game with their own enemy types and bosses. I am hoping to expand on this idea with a community, as I feel there is a lot of potential in this area.
