Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'GREAT TOY SHOWDOWN has been in development since November 2022, and we're thrilled to be able to offer it to the world through Early Access.
The team plans to officially release the game between Q4 2023 and Q2 2024, and we recognize that we can't deliver the best game possible without the help of our ever-growing community along the way.
That's why we're going through this Early Access process to humbly accept the suggestions and feedback we've received from so many gamers, and to give us a period of time to fine-tune our game development ideals and philosophy.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'The most important thing about ending Early Access is that the team feels confident enough to do so, but we still plan to release the game no later than Q2 2024.
However, we promise that our updates will not stop when Early Access ends, and that we will continue to improve the game.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'During the Early Access period, we'll be focusing on a variety of content enhancements, including multiplayer battles (duo matchmaking), new animal toys, additional rules during battles, more interactive buildings, new weapons, and other less obvious gameplay improvements that will help optimize the game and improve immersion and experience. For more information, please check out our roadmap in the game description and in-game.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'In addition to the Battle Royale mode, which is playable in single and duo, we have a number of out-game elements that are complete, including a repair shop where you can unlock animal toys for use in the game, Dodo's shop and wardrobe where you can buy and change outfits for your toys, and the Three Frogs' weapons lab where you can upgrade your firearms. The Early Access version includes most of the content the team decided to create during development, and while it's not perfect, we'll continue to make updates to get it closer to perfection.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'We anticipate, but are not certain, that there will be a small price increase at the end of the Early Access period. All decisions will be based on meeting the very minimal needs of the development team and prioritizing the value provided to players.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'Currently, GREAT TOY SHOWDOWN has community channels on the official Discord and Steam Forums. As we look forward to welcoming more players to the game, we want to make sure you know that we're checking in and listening to what you have to say! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the Early Access version, as well as any improvements or bugs you'd like to see in the channels of your choice. We don't have a lot of space yet, but everyone on the team wants to hear what you have to say.'
