Varför Early Access?

“Holiday Haywire is still early in it's development cycle, and we plan to continuously support the game for the foreseeable future. Our planned updates include new gamemodes, maps, weapons, and other various content, but as of right now there is only a Christmas mode. As well as this, Partic Games is a new studio and we want as much community feedback as possible before our full release in order to make our game as polished and enjoyable as it can be.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We plan to leave Early Access sometime in late 2023-2024, after most of our planned content has been released and the game is in a "finished state". Despite this, we plan to support Holiday Haywire for longer assuming the community is interested in more content.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“We hope for the full version of Holiday Haywire will include various different gamemodes and multiple maps, all themed to different major holidays. As of right now, the only supported mode is Christmas themed.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“While Holiday Haywire is still in an early state, it has been tested quite extensively and has polished as much as possible. While the game may still have minor bugs, it's definitely playable and the experience should be pretty smooth. Holiday Haywire is an FPS shooter with "zombies" like gameplay where you and your friends must fight repeated and increasingly difficult waves of christmas/holiday themed enemies, such as Snowmen, Gingerbread Men, and Nutcrackers. "Krampus", an evil christmas spirit is also included and can be fought and will attack the players with multiple different complex AI patterns. You can use "points" obtained from killing enemies to buy new weapons and unlock new areas to play in. The game has a healthy chunk of content which should keep players engaged, despite the early-access label. The multiplayer mode of the game is fully implemented with Steam integration which allows players to seamlessly create and join lobbies in order to play together.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“We have plans to slightly increase the price once the game leaves early access considering there will be much more content and the game will have a much higher level of polish.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We plan to heavily involve the community in our development proccess, whether that be through feature suggestions or bug reports. Overall, we want our players to be happy, and we want them to have as much say in the game as we do as the developers.”
