Why Early Access?

“Trans Neuronica is a puzzle game with a lot of complexity, but done mostly as a solo-dev project. The trick to great puzzle game experience is balancing the difficulty curve and the order in which the player is presented with the puzzles. This is something that player feedback can greatly improve, so we're taking the Early Access route to get as many people playing as we can and giving the dev his thoughts before releasing in full.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Depending on player engagement and the depth of provided feedback we will keep the game in Early Access development cycle from 6 to 12 months.”

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

“The Early Access version includes a campaign of around 50 levels (the full game will include ~70). They are - for the most part - in their final state, but depending on player experience some aspects may still be further refined. The order of the levels may change in the full version. The full version will also include custom level editing tool and support, and more language versions.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable from start to finish, and delivers the full storyline and most of the level set, that may still expand a bit in the full version. That means the Early Access version includes:

• 50 fully-playable levels (not in their final order, and some may require re-balancing)
  
• some of the boss and sub-boss special levels (but not all of them)
  
• all of the numberlink gameplay mechanics with some original twists, as per game description

”

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

“We want to acknowledge all the players who support us through Early Access by offering them the game in a slightly lower price. There will be an increase in price upon exiting Early Access, but not more than additional $5.”

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

“We'll be monitoring the Steam community hub and steam reviews for player feedback, and the production team and the dev will be always available on Hyperstrange Discord.”
