Why Early Access?

“We love what we do and have passion for VR games, so we work tirelessly to put together meaningful experience with varied and exciting gameplay. For the further development, any feedback from the community is welcome - it would help us see more clear about which features should be implemented and improved. We are happy to participate in early access to make our beloved game better and better, in a way most players would find enjoyable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“For us, quality wins over quantity. As soon as the project reaches an overall state that would feel truly whole and complete, polished and thought-out, we would be proud of to call it "done" and leave early access. For this, our estimate is between 1 and 2 years, based on future feedback.”

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

“Besides the general polishment of existing and in-development features, UI, gameplay and visual-vise, we will also plan on adding another game-mode, the "Adventure mode", which is a progressive version of the arcade mode, in which you carry over your progression between the levels you're randomly thrown onto.
Additionally, new content like customization-expansions, collectibles, new realms, so new enemies, bosses, skills will be added too, with time. Cooperative multiplayer and a leader-board system for arcade mode is also on the drawing board - and of course, the story of our hero will continue in Campaign mode!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The gameplay elements and most of the game mechanics are already implemented. The game has 2 campaign maps, which teach the basic mechanics and tactics and 3 arcade maps for the rogue-like gameplay mentioned earlier, presenting a different experience every time you play it.
There are 56 skills to choose from currently, which makes every run different from each other, supporting a varied and customizable experience for the players. The already existing realms pose different threats, in form of varied enemy types (offensive, defensive, ranged, utility, magical etc.), environments, contraptions and layouts, which will all alter the approach the player might choose when fighting in them.”

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

“As mentioned before, we are planning to add much more content during the development, and finalize a lot of existing features, with time, the final price may increase accordingly when we leave early acces.”

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

“To us, community feedback and engagement is paramount - it's this, based on which we would like to continue and prioritize the stages and features of the development. The focus should be on things the players want the most, the things they are most interested in.
For this reason, we are going to create a discord platform, where people can voice their opinion, ideas, feedback and participate in surveys and maybe community events and activities in the future.
Besides that, we will also be attentive to the Steam-page of the game, both in terms of reviews and community activity, so Steam forums and discussion pages can also be good places to send your feedback to, or report issues.
Please feel free also, to contact us about your ideas and provide feedback via info@rustipipesgames.com email address.

If you enjoyed the game, please also voice your satisfaction in the reviews, comments or you can send a short "good job" message to us to the mentioned address - it is also greatly appreciated!”
