Varför Early Access?

“Roy Rattler is my first commercial game and it is a solo development effort on-top of it all. It also includes a number of immersive sim elements planned for it's gameplay and that number will only increase with time (and as is the nature of immersive game design, emergent gameplay will likely become future features). So my hope is that by rolling out title updates every 2-4 weeks, I can utilize community feedback to steer the game's direction into a great game that is as much immersive sim as it is survival horror as it is mascot horror.”

When complete, each level will have it's own visual theme, puzzles & mini-games,. The game will feature nearly two dozen unique enemies and at least one boss encounter per level. The final game will also have additional difficulty settings, bonus gameplay modes and a gallery of concept art, test footage, trailers, turntables of the game's 3D models, etc.”

“The game will be sold at a reduced price compared to the full release at the start of early access. As major title updates release, the price will progressively increase toward it's the final price in line with the game's overall completion. Once Roy Rattler has left early access, the game will assume it's full price and will not increase beyond that.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“While I may not always participate in Steam forum discussions or other social media discourse, I will most certainly be watching and reading your comments during the early access period as well as creating development roadmaps that will contain detailed descriptions of the content in upcoming title updates. As feedback is collected, I will update the roadmaps to contain information regarding known bugs with the game and any features that are added to the game's development plans as a result of community feedback/emergent gameplay scenarios.”
