Why Early Access?

“MiniWarfare is already a fully functional multiplayer game, allowing players to engage in exciting battles. However, we recognize that there are certain features missing that have become standard in modern multiplayer games. For instance, our current setup relies on peer-to-peer connections for gameplay, but we aspire to support dedicated servers to enhance player experience. Additionally, being a competitive multiplayer shooter, there's a crucial need for balancing various aspects, including weapon performance, health systems, game mode durations, objectives, map sizes, player counts per match, and more. These elements can significantly impact the overall experience, and we believe that Early Access provides an ideal platform to thoroughly test and fine-tune these aspects.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While the exact duration of Early Access may vary based on player feedback and the scope of improvements we want to make, we anticipate that MiniWarfare will be in Early Access for approximately 6-12 months. Our goal is to work closely with the community to refine gameplay, add content, and address any issues, with the aim of transitioning to the full release as soon as we believe the game has reached its full potential.”

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

“We plan the full version of MiniWarfare to be a culmination of player feedback and extensive community testing. We aim to feature a diverse and well-balanced collection of game modes, meticulously tested and refined by the community, ensuring they are both competitive and enjoyable. The same holds true for weapons, maps, and other gameplay elements.

In addition to this collaborative effort with our player base, we have some exciting ideas for potential features that we'd like to explore. One of these ideas includes the possibility of customizable weapon attachments, allowing players to fine-tune their armaments to suit their preferred playstyles. Vehicles and a dynamic destruction system are also on our radar, which could introduce a new layer of strategic depth and excitement to the game.

Game development is a dynamic process, and we're committed to continuously improving MiniWarfare based on your feedback and our shared vision. These potential features are intriguing possibilities that we're excited to explore further, and your input will be invaluable in shaping MiniWarfare into the best possible gaming experience. We look forward to working closely with our community as we develop and refine the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access version of MiniWarfare is a fully playable game that allows players to experience the core gameplay mechanics from start to finish. This provides an excellent preview of what the gameplay feels like. However, it's important to note that there are some features missing that players typically expect from a full-fledged multiplayer game. For instance, we are actively working on implementing server-based matchmaking, introducing a battle pass system, and offering unlockable skins, camos, and weapons. While these additions may not directly affect gameplay, they greatly enhance the overall player experience, providing rewards for skillful play and dedication to the game.”

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

“Yes, there will be a difference in pricing between the Early Access version and the full release of MiniWarfare. The Early Access version will be offered at a discounted price to thank early supporters and players who join us in shaping the game. As we add more content and reach the full release, the price will increase to reflect the additional features, improvements, and content that will be available in the final product.”

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

“We highly value the input of our community and are committed to actively involving players in the development process. We will maintain open communication channels, including forums, social media, and in-game feedback systems, where players can share their ideas, report issues, and provide suggestions. We plan to conduct regular surveys, playtesting sessions, and discussions to gather feedback, prioritize features, and make informed decisions about the game's development direction. We view the community as a vital part of the MiniWarfare development team and look forward to collaborating closely with players to create an outstanding gaming experience.”
