Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to have a smaller group of people play the game and provide us with feedback on ways to improve it before launch. We take customer feedback, input and our open-door development policies very serious and Early Access allows us to take these principles to the next level.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plans are to have Obsta-Loop in Early Access until the end of either Q2 or Q3 of 2023. HOWEVER, game development can be a pain sometimes and if there are unforeseen issues, we will be transparent about our plans to push that time-table back.”

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

“Below is a brief roadmap for what our plans for Obsta-Loop are, broken down by version release.
Its important to note that version 2.0 of the game will designate it as "feature complete," at which time it will leave Early Access.
Its also important to note that everything listed in "V. 3.xx + Beyond" is a wishlist of things that we hope to do, but we cannot make any hard promises on them.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently in version 0.7.x. This means that the single player functionality is in the build with the scoring system, basic player customization and the ability to complete a full run of a level.”

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

“The core game (which includes the tutorial level, the first cave level and abilities) will always be free, both pre and post EA. We plan to monetize the game with paid DLC, which will include additional levels, biomes, enemies and player customization.
We design our games in a manner where we can extend them with additional content, indefinitely.
Following the release of version 2.0, our intention is to continue to release paid DLC for it, as long as it is profitable.”
