Why Early Access?

“The reason for offering Manual Overcycle as an Early Access game is likely to gather feedback from the community and make improvements to the game before its official release.

Early Access allows developers to release a partially completed version of their game to the public and receive feedback and suggestions to help shape the final product.
This can help ensure that the game meets the expectations of its players and delivers the best possible experience.

By offering the game in Early Access, the developers of Manual Overcycle can gather valuable feedback, fix any issues, and add new features to enhance the overall experience of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Manual Overcycle aims to release the final version of the game before the end of 2023.

However, please note that this is just an estimated time frame and the actual release date may vary due to various factors such as development progress, community feedback, and unforeseen circumstances.

It's always a good idea to check out our official website or social media for the most up-to-date information about the game's release status.”

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

“The full version of Manual Overcycle is planned to differ from the Early Access version by including several additional features and improvements, these changes include:

1. Character Customization: We plan to add character customization so players will be able to customize their character.

2. Bicycle Livery: We plan to add customization to bicycles so players will be able to customize the look of their bicycle with coloring and stickers, further enhancing their personalized experience.

3. New Maps: We plan to include new maps with different landmarks and environmental elements to explore in the full game.

4. Improved Physics: We plan to refine and improve the physics-based gameplay.

5. Multiplayer: We plan to add multiplayer support in the full game, allowing players to compete and cooperate with others in various challenges and competitions.

These additions and improvements are expected to provide an even more comprehensive and enjoyable experience for players of Manual Overcycle.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access version of Manual Overcycle includes some maps for players to explore and the mechanics of the game are mostly complete.

However, there is always room for improvement, and the developers are likely to continue to make updates and optimizations to the gameplay.

At this time, the Early Access version does not include character customization, bicycle livery customization, or multiplayer support.
These features are planned for inclusion in the full release of the game.”

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

“Yes, Manual Overcycle is planned to be priced differently during and after Early Access.

The official release is expected to have a higher price.

This change in price is a common practice for many games in Early Access, as the final release often includes more features, content, and improvements than the initial Early Access version.

This pricing structure allows players to get early access to the game at a lower price, while also supporting the development process and incentivizing the completion of the final version.”

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

“Feedback and Suggestions: We want to gather feedback and suggestions from players through various channels such as forums, social media, or direct communication.

Development Updates: Regular development updates and communication with the community can help keep our players informed and engaged with the development process, and provide opportunities for players to share their thoughts and feedback.”
