Why Early Access?

“Face Puncher is without a doubt a unique game.
It heavily utilizes physics as a core mechanic which can be "clangy" and difficult for players.

Given it's unique nature, we believe Early Access will be the best way to build a community that cares about the way the game develops, and ultimately turn it into a better experience for everyone involved.

Character balance will be of major importance, and there is no better way to smooth out the differences between them than sheer volume of games played and feedback supplied by Early Access players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect 6 months or so to polish features and react to community sentiment.”

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

“The full version will feature more characters, more levels with interactive objects, a side-scrolling-beat-em-up mode, and a goal to include a multiplayer mode - though that will be a difficult challenge given the unique nature of the game and the problems around lag and physics over network.

I would expect a 6-12 month window.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The basic flow of the game is in place, from menus to gameplay, as well as all playable characters.

There are some missing game modes and settings but the gameplay vertical slice works, as well as trophies/achievments.”

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

“For now there is no plan to adjust the price.”

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

“Through the Face Puncher Official Server on Discord, there will be numerous channels where players can interact with the dev/s and give feedback and suggestions about the development of the game.”
