Why Early Access?

“Early Access will allow me to continue developing the game while receiving valuable input from the community. It's taking a while to build this game, and I want people who play it to feel it was worth the wait.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“That's a great question! My goal is to release the full story in late 2024, but with my day job taking up so much time it might stretch into early/mid 2025. So we'll just have to see.”

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

“The full version is planned to have four additional chapters that branch based on earlier decisions, as well as bonus stories - the first one being a behind-the-scenes 4th-wall-breaking interview with Clash! It will also have smoother visual transitions, improved variety of music/sound, and Steam achievements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version features the first four chapters of the game plus an introduction that summarizes Clash: Robot Detective. It technically has achievements already, but they are tracked in-game only (and these achievements will unlock on Steam once Steam achievement capability is unlocked, don't worry!)”

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

“I am currently torn between gradually raising the price and leaving it as is. I will make my decision closer to launch. Bear with me, I"m trying.”

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

“I'm hoping people will be able to catch errors - coding, spelling, and grammatical - that I overlook. I also want to hear people's thoughts, opinions, and (constructive) criticism about the current story and potential story paths.”
