Why Early Access?

“I want to get feedback from players so I can produce the best game imaginable. With early access players can play the game early, accessing the content before its released, allowing them to give me feedback through their access that has been determined to be early. Through this early bird experience they are receiving, I can take their words as feedback and put that feedback back into the game's development, which in turn will probably improve the overall game's development. If I were to say, work weeks on a feature which I then release as an early access patch, and all the players provide me with negative feedback on such feature, I could proceed to remove said feature, providing a better game experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 3-4 months. It really depends on how it feels based on the amount of additional rooms added. It might need more rooms to feel more complete, so that would of course add development time.”

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

“More of the same basically. Currently there are 11 rooms . I plan to add more rooms, along with additional resources and minigames to manage.

My overall goal is to create an environment that rewards smart movement through map memorization and proper resource management, while also allowing for a much more relaxed escape room style playthrough via minigames playing themselves while the player takes their time solving the rooms.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It is playable with 12 rooms and 7 different resources to gather and use.”

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

“No”

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

“I plan to involve the community by taking feedback from players and using that to properly balance gameplay and possibly add interesting ideas. I plan to do this through user reviews and Steam forums.”
