Why Early Access?

“We have been hard at work for over two years building Full Court Heroes and we have a game that we are proud of. However, it is not yet fully complete and does not yet quite fulfill all of the things we have promised. Specifically, our online features are barebones and there is more we want to add to the franchise mode.

We have a very long list of ideas for improvements that we think we keep us updating this title for a very long time. Really, though, we feel that the game is in a state that we could release it now. But it does not yet meet our standard for how we envision the final game. We do believe it is at a point where feedback from real players would be extremely helpful, especially from players who are invested in the game and want to help us to make Full Court Heroes the absolute best that it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It is estimated the game will be in Early Access for a period of about four to six months.”

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

“While in many regards, the Early Access game is a full game, the full release version will have online multilayer franchise mode, the ability to use custom teams in online play. In addition, the online multiplayer user interfaces will be finished and polished to make it easier to create, join, or find an online match.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of the game currently contains a fully-playable game. Its franchise mode is missing some features that we have planned, such as online multiplayer franchise mode. Also, the online multiplayer features are somewhat limited in terms of matchmaking, and it currently lacks the ability to use custom teams in online mode. In addition, the game's AI and difficulty will continue to be updated based on the valuable feedback received from our Early Access players.”

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

“The price of the game will not change when we leave early access.”

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

“The community of Steam players will play an important part in shaping the game's gameplay and CPU "AI" improvements by providing crucial feedback about what is working well and where we can improve. In addition, the community will have the opportunity to help us shape the game's future features, not just for the Early Access period but even after full release.”
