Why Early Access?

“As Dodge The Missionaries is our first title release out of HandiQuack Studios, we wanted you to be able to enjoy the full-fledged, stress-inducing fun of the game while we finalize the last few levels and features before we launch live. This is going to give us the feedback we need to adjust, tweak, and really round out the game for everyone to enjoy.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are only seeing the last few updates taking a couple of months, and then including any additions / fixes we hear from the community, the time will adjust off that as well. Short term, we see the final release by the end of October 2022 with a margin of 1 week.”

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

“The full version will contain overall more streamlined features as we sharpen the edges and clean everything up to maximum capacity. Some of the additional features will include:

- Complete Controller support for all platforms
- 2 more bosses during runs, 1 of them will be complete PAIN for you :)
- 2 more levels complete levels
- Level Completion animations for Player Characters
- More item pickups for players to increase score

The final version will bring hours more content and a bit of a story to follow as you near the end. We are also looking at adding some more achievements if the boot fits!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This Early-Access version contains:

- 8 playable characters
- 3 awesome levels
- Sweeet atmospheric music
- Blood Moons and Day/Night Cycles
- Achievements!
- Controller/Keyboard support”

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

“No, we will keep the price of Dodge The Missionaries the same after the full-release version is dropped”

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

“The community and players are pivotal as we finalize and complete the game, moving it out of Early Release and to its full power. Leveraging feedback on game play, features, and bugs will give us the arsenal necessary to get it to peak performance, and suggestions from the community will only assist us in that process; level ideas, adjustments to certain cycles and timings, and possible new achievements!”
