Why Early Access?

“We have been developing Backpack Battles in close collaboration with the community in the form of a public demo for over 7 months now. We are now at the point of adding the final content needed to finish the game and want to have active community involvement in these steps as well. This especially refers to the two character classes yet missing in the demo!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Probably around 3 to 6 months, depending on when we and the community feel the game flows well.”

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

“The full version will feature the complete set of items, and all 4 planned classes will be included and have had multiple balance iterations.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first Early Access version features all 4 planned characters with most of their related items.”

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

“There will be a slight price increase with the full release.”

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

“We already have a well-established community Discord with around 16,000 members. The community is actively involved in discussing mechanics, suggesting items, and balancing. Since our first demo, this game was developed in close collaboration with the community. We plan to continue a weekly content patch cycle, with hotfix patches in between.”
