Wozu Early Access?

„Floomy is designed to be a rewarding experience despite reverting back to level 1 at game over. By collecting gems, the player can obtain permanent upgrades in the Hop Shop which will naturally help them to overcome obstacles faster and more efficiently. By launching Floomy in Early Access, I hope to leverage feedback to make purchases feel balanced in both what they offer and the amount of gems needed to obtain them. Furthermore, I also hope to iron out level design flaws and make necessary changes/additions to enhance the overall gameplay experience.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„This largely depends on the feedback received. My hope is to officially release this game by the end of the year but I may add more to it if the feedback indicates it would be meaningful to do so. That is not to say the game won't be supported after its 1.0 release, rather, I hope to deliver a satisfying experience that meets expectations for a full release.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„My vision for the final release is to deliver a game that feels both balanced and rewarding. By leveraging feedback from early buyers, it is my commitment to provide a refined and complete gameplay experience that empowers players to overcome hardship and find satisfaction in their progression.

Early Access Goals

• Cost adjustments within the Hop Shop:
  The number of gems required to obtain core enhancements should feel both earned and obtainable.
  
• Additional enhancements:
  A few enhancements may be added, removed, or adjusted depending on whether or not they strengthen the core experience. Enhancements should feel empowering without robbing the game of its challenge.
  
• Additonal levels:
  Additional levels may be added if it is determined that the average run completion time is too short. Branching routes may also be added for players seeking additional challenges/secrets.
  
• Level Design:
  existing levels may be adjusted to smooth out unnecessary difficulty spikes, cheap deaths, or levels that are too easy.

The aforementioned goals will be largely influenced by player-driven feedback.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Floomy is playable from start to finish. The Hop Shop and the way it influences player experience is what is subject to change most.

Currently, Floomy features 27 levels divided into 5 uniquely themed zones. Various critters within these zones affect players' aerial mobility, gracefully hopping from one to another, and avoiding falls while progressing toward their objective.

The Hop Shop is also here with enhancements that can improve our playable protagonist's abilities or customize their appearance.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„It's likely that the game's price will experience a modest increase upon its full release. The current lower price is deliberately set to ensure accessibility for those eager to join in during the 'Early Access' phases before its full launch.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?
