Why Early Access?

“Spread: Transmission has always been a game built together with the community and we are excited to open it up for everyone to play. Your feedback will help us develop a rich and accessible experience for both new casual and veteran competitive players. Our goal is to create a diverse game with many possibilities and we believe the best way to achieve that is to give players the ability to get involved early.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to stay in early access at least until the end of 2023. The actual duration of the early access phase depends on community feedback and gets prolonged if the scope of the game grows.”

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

“We plan on adding new customizable rules, game modes and other content to the game for the players to experiment and craft their own experiences with. Additionally, we plan on further improving the game for newcomers with more opportunities to learn about strategies and mistakes. To achieve that and also to improve the game for singleplayer, we will add multiple different opponents with their own strengths and weaknesses as well.

Lastly there will be lots of smaller improvements and polish to enhance the game in general, like better UI and enhanced performance among other things.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Spread: Transmission already features all of the core gameplay elements. Players can play against bots and friends both locally and online. There is a large variety of maps players can choose from plus the ability to play on custom maps. Additionally, the game currently features two game modes which can be mixed and customized.

Generally, the game is considered stable with only some minor bugs that usually do not greatly affect matches. We are still in the process of tweaking the on-boarding experience for new players and while feedback is greatly appreciated, for now we recommend to learn the game with friends.”

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

“We intend to raise the price before leaving early access to account for the newly added features and content.”

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