Why Early Access?

“The initial release (March 2023) of the game is a "vertical slice" released as an Early Access version: an initial version of all the moving parts, and a fully playable tutorial level. I'm looking to gather feedback as well as gauge interest for a complete version of the game, to steer any further development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Since this is my first game and a side-project at that, it might stay in Early Access for a considerable amount of time. It should take several months up to a year to complete a full version of the game.”

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

“The early access version of the game should be considered a "Fully Functional Prototype", built to gather feedback. The full version of the game should both receive a lot more polish, as well as a ton more Machines ("worlds") and levels, plus a bunch extra pinball machine components and features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access release from March 2023 (and any subsequent updates in the Early Access phase) will be a fully functional game demonstrating the core mechanics.

The "About This" section will contain the up to date list of features for the current (Early Access) version of the game, so please refer to that section if you're curious about what you'll get if you get the Early Access version of Pincrediball.”

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

“The game will be free during Early Access, as a "thank you" for taking the time to have a go at it. The full final release on Steam will possibly be a paid game, but at a very small price.”

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

“Feedback from the community (of any kind: bugs, feature suggestions, improvements, and whatnot) will all be considered for the full version of the game. Can't promise each and every bit will make it into the final game, but will be sure to properly consider it!
