What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are excited to announce the Early Access release of our game on Steam! By participating in Early Access, you'll be among the first to experience our game and provide valuable feedback that will help us shape its development.

We want to be transparent about the fact that as an Early Access title, the game may contain bugs or other issues that we are actively working to address. We are committed to continuously improving the game and providing regular updates based on player feedback.

As an Early Adopter, you'll have a unique opportunity to help us refine and improve the game, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you for your support, and we can't wait for you to join us on this journey!

Refer to the About This section for all current features.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Based on our current roadmap and development plans, we are targeting a mid to late 2023 full release for this game. However, please keep in mind that game development is an iterative process, and we may need to adjust our timeline based on player feedback and other factors that arise during the Early Access period. Rest assured that we are committed to delivering a high-quality, polished game that meets the expectations of our players, and we appreciate your patience and support as we work towards that goal.”

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

“While we are committed to delivering a high-quality game experience during Early Access, there are several areas where we plan to expand and improve upon in the full version of the game.

We plan to be addressing any remaining bugs and issues that may be present in the Early Access version. We will also be polishing the game's graphics and gameplay mechanics to provide a smoother and more immersive experience.

In terms of content, we plan to expand the game lineup with additional features, game modes, levels, and other gameplay elements to keep players engaged and entertained. We are actively listening to player feedback and incorporating it into our development process to ensure that the full version of the game meets and exceeds player expectations.

Overall, our goal is to deliver a more complete and satisfying game experience in the full version of the game, and we are working tirelessly to make that happen. Thank you for your interest and support!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the Early Access version of the game is in a beta phase, meaning that it is feature-complete and contains most of the content and gameplay mechanics that will be present in the final version. We estimate that the Early Access version is about 80-90% done in terms of development progress.

However, please keep in mind that as with any beta release, there may still be some bugs or issues that we are actively working to address based on player feedback. We encourage you to try out the Early Access version and provide us with your feedback so that we can continue to improve and refine the game in the lead-up to the full release. Thank you for your interest in our game!

Refer to the About This section for all current features.”

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

“The price of the game is likely to change once it leaves the Early Access stage and enters full release. During Early Access, we are offering the game at a discounted price as a gesture of gratitude to early adopters who are willing to support us during the development process and provide valuable feedback.

Once the game is released in its full version, we anticipate that the price will increase to reflect the additional content, features, and polish that will be present in the final release. However, we are committed to ensuring that the game remains accessible and affordable to our players, and we will strive to keep our pricing competitive and fair.

Thank you for your interest in our game, and we look forward to sharing more updates with you as we continue to develop and improve the game!”

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

“We believe that the community is an integral part of the game development process, and we are committed to involving our players in shaping the direction of our game. To that end, we plan to actively listen to and engage with the community throughout the Early Access period and beyond.

We will be soliciting feedback from players through various channels, including social media, forums, and in-game surveys. We will take this feedback seriously and use it to make informed decisions about the development of the game. We will also be regularly updating players on our progress and responding to their questions and concerns.

In addition, we plan to actively involve the community in the development of new content and features for the game. We will be seeking input on new levels, gameplay mechanics, and other elements that can make the game more enjoyable and engaging for everyone.

Overall, we are committed to creating a collaborative and inclusive development process that values the input and feedback of our players. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to working with you to make this game the best it can be!”
