Why Early Access?

By involving the community, I am committed to ensuring the best possible experience, addressing issues, and implementing improvements. Your support during this stage will contribute to shaping Deadlocked into a well-crafted and enjoyable game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1-2 Years”

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

“The full version of Deadlocked aims to build upon the Early Access version by introducing several exciting features and enhancements. Players can look forward to the addition of controller support, which will enhance the gameplay experience and provide more options for comfortable play. Weapon customization and character customization will allow players to tailor their playstyle and appearance, adding a layer of personalization.

Moreover, I'm excited to bring three unique boss battles set in captivating arenas, providing thrilling challenges and memorable encounters. The game will also introduce various new and unique weapon types, expanding the arsenal and offering fresh ways to tackle enemies. Additionally, including more unique pets will bring companions with distinct abilities to join players on their journey.

Furthermore, for replayability purposes, each zone will also feature an endless mode, allowing the player to fight endless waves of enemies.

While I try to avoid making specific promises about release dates or events, my commitment to delivering an enriched and engaging experience remains unwavering. Your feedback and support during Early Access will greatly contribute to shaping these planned features and refining the overall gameplay for a rewarding adventure.”
