Why Early Access?

“To allow people to play the game while it's in development and influence the development. Feedback from players so far has been very valuable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently estimating the full version release might be summer 2025.”

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

“The full version is planned to have total 4 episodes. One episode is 5+1 storymode levels and 2 deathmatch / survival levels. Full version may have some 20 enemies (variations included) plus each episode is also going to have a boss enemy encounter.

Deathmatch might get a possibility to play against AI players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Levels:
Currently the game has total 31 levels included:

Finished Storymode levels: 21
Work in progress Storymode levels: 3
Survival/Deathmatch levels: 5
Other levels: 2

All storymode levels are playable and can be completed; It can take about 4 hours to play through them all casually. The work in progress levels may be smaller than the fully finished ones.

Characters & Weapons:
The game has 26 enemy characters (variations included), 1 player character and 18 weapons for the player.

Other:
Player and level stats are recorded into the Meowpedia menu, which also includes some background stories for the weapons, monsters and levels.

The deathmatch / survival modes don't have proper end of level stats, although the winner gets declared at the end of match / survival time is shown. Survival mode is kind of simple and could have some adjustments to the enemy spawning logic.

Online play:
Online multiplayer is not yet guaranteed 100% functional and needs more testing, but overall it should work ok. If hosting a server, it is possible it does not show up in the server browser. It may be possible to join a server using the console (need to know the server address then). Local split screen multiplayer should work ok.”

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

“Possibly the game is cheaper during the Early Access.”

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

“I'll read all feedback, feature suggestions and bug reports given on Discord, Steam, Bluesky and Indie DB. I'll consider implementing features and ideas that fit the game and adjust and balance weapons, enemies, levels and other things based on feedback. I'll fix reported bugs.”
