Miksi Early Access?

As a solo indie developer, Early Access is the perfect opportunity to involve the community in shaping the future of Gravity Cab. While the core gameplay is complete and polished, I want to gather valuable player feedback to fine-tune the mechanics, balance difficulty, and add new features and content based on the community's input. Early Access allows me to share the game with players sooner while continuing to improve it iteratively.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

I plan for Gravity Cab to exit Early Access by June 2025. However, the exact timeline depends on player feedback and development progress. My goal is to ensure the full release is polished and meets players' expectations. While I aim to stick to this schedule, I will take the necessary time to refine the game and make it the best experience possible.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

For the full version of Gravity Cab, I plan to include:

More Levels: New, challenging levels beyond those available in Early Access, expanding the game's storyline.

Expanded Gameplay Features: Additional mechanics, puzzles, and hazards to keep the experience fresh and engaging.

Improved Balancing: Feedback-driven adjustments to difficulty levels, vehicle handling, and tip system.

Polished Presentation: Enhanced visuals, refined sound design, and performance improvements.

Bug Fixes: Ensuring a smooth and stable experience for all players.

While I have a clear vision for the full version, community feedback during Early Access will play a big role in shaping the final feature set.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access version of Gravity Cab includes:

A substantial portion of the game, with 7 fully playable levels.

Core mechanics like vehicle handling, passenger pick-up, and a rewarding system featuring fares and tips.

Key features like puzzles, power-ups, and fuel management already in place.

A high level of polish, including functional tutorials and well-balanced gameplay.

The game in its current state provides hours of engaging gameplay for new players, offering a fun and challenging experience while leaving room for further refinement and expansion during Early Access.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Yes, the game will be priced lower during Early Access to reflect its in-progress state. As new levels and features are added and the game approaches full release, the price will gradually increase. Early Access players will benefit from a discounted price and receive all updates to the core game leading up to the full release at no additional cost. Future DLCs with additional content will be sold separately after the full release.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Community involvement will be a key part of Gravity Cab's development. Players can share their feedback through:

Steam Forums: To report bugs, suggest features, and discuss gameplay improvements.

Social Media and Newsletters: Regular updates will keep the community informed about new features and progress.

Polls and Surveys: I’ll use these to prioritise future updates based on what players want most.

This feedback will guide development, ensuring Gravity Cab evolves into a game players truly love and enjoy.
