Why Early Access?

“Our upcoming game, M.O.O.D.S., a 3D action roguelike/roguelite with coop-multiplayer, is set in a futuristic world dominated by robots who have discovered emotions. The gameplay is fast-paced and centered around highly variable firearms, taking inspiration from Enter the Gungeon, Binding of Isaac, and Hades.

We believe that launching the M.O.O.D.S. in Early Access is the best way to involve the gaming community in our development process. Early adopters will have the opportunity to shape the final product by providing feedback and suggestions to improve the gameplay, graphics, and overall experience.

In addition, Early Access will allow us to continually update and refine the game, adding new content, improving performance, and fixing bugs based on community feedback. As an Early Access supporter, you will have access to exclusive content and features, and your feedback will help shape the future of the game.

We are confident that M.O.O.D.S. will provide a unique and exciting gaming experience that you won't find anywhere else. By purchasing M.O.O.D.S. in Early Access, you will not only get to experience it first-hand, but also have a say in its development.
We hope you'll join us on this journey!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that it will take approximately 18-24 months to fully release M.O.O.D.S. due to the ambitious scope of our project and the fact that we are a small team dedicated to realizing its full potential. We appreciate your patience and support as we work diligently to bring you the best possible gaming experience.”

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

“We already have many great changes and features planned that you can expect in the full version of the game. Here are some of the highlights we have planned for the full version:

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

“At StickyStoneStudio, we strongly believe in the importance of community involvement in the game development process. To that end, we have several initiatives planned to ensure our players can give us feedback and have a direct impact on the game's direction.

Firstly, we will be conducting regular player surveys to get a better understanding of what our community is looking for in the game. These surveys will be available on our website and social media channels, and we encourage all players to participate.

Secondly, we have set up a Discord server where players can share their thoughts, ideas, and suggestions with us directly. We will be actively monitoring this server and participating in discussions, as well as hosting regular Q&A sessions with the development team.

In addition to these initiatives, we also have a couple of our own ideas to involve the community. We plan to hold regular beta testing periods where players can try out new features and content before they are released to the wider community, providing us with valuable feedback and bug reports.”
