Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„Early Access gives us the opportunity to develop Splashback alongside the players who are most interested in the game from the beginning.

Because handling, course design, difficulty, AI behavior, and overall game feel are such important parts of a racing game, player feedback can be especially valuable while those systems are still being refined.

We also want to be transparent about the fact that Splashback is still early in development. Early Access allows players who are excited about the concept to experience the game sooner, provide feedback, report issues, and help influence priorities as development continues.

Our goal is to use Early Access to improve the core experience, learn what resonates most with players, and steadily build Splashback into a more complete and polished racing game.”

Our current plans include expanding the selection of courses and environments, adding more customization and progression options, improving presentation and polish, refining handling and watercraft physics, and continuing to improve the overall racing experience.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„Splashback is currently in an early stage of development, but the core racing experience is playable.

The Early Access version currently includes four races, AI-controlled opponents, core watercraft handling and racing systems, and the foundation of the game's presentation and progression experience.

Players should expect the game to continue evolving throughout Early Access, with further balancing, polish, optimization, content, and feature development planned over time. Some areas may still feel unfinished or change significantly as development progresses.”

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?

„Yes. We currently plan to offer Splashback at a lower price during Early Access. As the game receives additional content, features, and polish, we expect the price to increase, with the full release planned to be priced higher than the Early Access version.

Players who purchase Splashback during Early Access will retain access to the game as development continues.”

Jak zamierzacie włączyć społeczność w wasz proces tworzenia?

„Community feedback will be an important part of Splashback's development during Early Access.

We plan to actively listen to player feedback regarding handling, difficulty, course design, progression, performance, bugs, and requested features. Feedback from Steam discussions, reviews, and other community channels will help us identify problems, prioritize improvements, and better understand what players want to see from the game.

Early Access also gives us the opportunity to experiment with new ideas while working directly with the people playing the game. Our goal is to build Splashback alongside its community while still maintaining a clear overall vision for the game.”
