Why Early Access?

“We're a small team.

Our game is starting to look ok, and is starting to be balanced and playable. But we need to develop more content to become a fully featured game.

Early access is an opportunity to get feedback and feature recommendations from the community while we complete our little passion project.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 3-5 months.”

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

“We're hard at work developing new levels, more/improved art, cutscenes, player abilities, gameplay modes, and a few small but valuable quality of life features.

As a stretch goal, we'd like to also add NPC race encounters.

For our main story mode, the final version will have 5 total levels.

The community playtest is level 2 of a planned 5.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are currently running our community playtest.

Our playtest has Level 2 in a feature-complete state, including a tutorial that will be moved to level 1 later.

Our art is at a beta level - new character animations are coming very soon.”

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

“Yes!

Our start price is lower than the final release price. It will increase as new features are released, until we reach the final price when we transition to a full release.

To begin, we have a free community playtest you can join now!

Testers get all standard updates and releases and updates for free! Just be sure to complete your review of the playtest prior to the end of the playtest.

The end of the playtest will be announced at a later date, once we're ready to move into an early access phase.

After the playtest, those who purchase the game at lower prices get all future updates and standard game releases for free!”

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

“Blue Dendrites holds it as self-evident that being open to more creative input necessarily leads to better creative output!

As such, the Mr. K.I.S.S. team will select from among the best feature ideas and feedback from our community to immortalize as new features in the game.

We can't wait to hear what the community envisions for Mr. K.I.S.S. as he achieves his final form.”
