Why Early Access?

“Some of the best features implemented into Tetraphobia have come from friends, family and fans who enjoyed playing the game.

"Damn it'd be awesome if..."
"What if you could just..."
"If this was added it'd be insane!"

There's always a balance between a good idea and feature creeping but I believe the community can play an incredibly powerful role in helping to shape some of the ideas for bosses, powerups and unlockable content within the world of Tetraphobia.

As a solo developer getting an early access community will be invaluable for helping me to tweak, polish and prepare the game for the final release and I encourage everyone who's interested in having an impact to get involved via discord!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Whilst the schedule does remain flexible and would be dependant on just how much community engagement I get. I wouldn't want to release Tetraphobia in a broken state, so the answer really is "as long as it takes to make the game I'm happy with" - I currently expect this to be approximately 1 year.”

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

“The full version will contain more regions, enemies, artefacts, bosses, character progression items and develop the main story and world further.

I plan to add 2 whole new content regions that feature the Titan of Magic and the Titan of Greed which come with their own set of bosses, powerups and enemies.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current game is a subset of the final game. It contains a couple of the Titan regions that are polished to a high standard, a number of NPCs to interact with 8 different bosses, 50+ different enemies and 100+ powerups.

You can still expect a fair amount of content and replay-ability with the early access version of the game. For a more specific list of features you can check the "About This" in the description”

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

“The early access price will be set to a single minimum price and it will remain the same price for the whole of early access. The final price will be increased when I release from early access.”

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

“The best place to get involved in the development process is to head to the discord.

As the community grows I plan to host regular polls to allow the community to vote on which feature set they would like to see. There will be an open suggestions channel and I will work hard to ensure that the best ideas are brought forward to the wider community.

The discussions forum is a great place to share feedback and thoughts about the early access version of Tetraphobia”
