Why Early Access?

“ME_iON is a passion project of mine it started out as a joke between friends of mine and slowly evolved into a game I'm willing to release this game was only intended to be played within my friend group but I have decided to continue its development forward and release it to the public despite it being full of inside jokes and references to my friend group I feel its chaos and confusing nature will be very funny to outsiders

I hope by releasing this game early I hope to get valuable information about my game how my community is feeling about certain features and I will take criticism I get and shape this game into a game everyone in my community will love I also believe releasing in early access will help me shape this game into a much better product in the future”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“my aim for a full 1.0 release sometime in summer 2023 to early 2024 the reason for this long of a wait until 1.0 is that I am a one-man team and it will take me some time to get around to each and every feature”

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

“I hope to add at least 6-7 maps that players can pick from I also hope to add in-game voice chat (VOIP) and in the distant future FREE cosmetics that you can earn after matches along with tokens for the offline mode homestead”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“currently, the game is in the pre-alpha stage currently I have implemented a very primitive version of the homestead (offline building mode) and 2 multiplayer maps so far with one game mode I plan to expand the maps and variety of game modes in the near future”

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

“pricing may change from early access to release as development costs rise and the scope of ME_iON gets bigger, please note if pricing changes there will be an update on the community tab of ME_iON ahead of the planned price changes”

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

“i will be very active in the community tab of ME_iON I am also planning a discord in the near future to hopefully get engagement up, I'm a very community-driven person as it takes lots of ideas to make a game come together this is why I will be taking community feedback of recent decisions and features i add to ME_iON to heart and will shape this game to something everyone will enjoy”
