Why Early Access?

“We strongly believe that Early Access on Steam is an exceptional opportunity to significantly enhance our game, 'Play Minigames with Reiko.' By granting early access to players, we aim to build a strong and dedicated community willing to play and provide valuable feedback during the development process.
Player feedback is essential to us as it allows us to identify areas for improvement, fine-tune gameplay mechanics, resolve technical issues, and polish the overall gaming experience. We eagerly look forward to hearing the opinions and suggestions of the community to ensure that 'Play Minigames with Reiko' becomes the best it can be.

Furthermore, Early Access provides us with the opportunity to interact directly with our players, understand their needs and expectations, and establish a stronger relationship with them. This will enable us to tailor the game to our audience's preferences and ensure a more satisfying gaming experience.

In summary, we have chosen Early Access on Steam because we believe it is the best way to engage the community, continually improve our game, and ensure that 'Play Minigames with Reiko' reaches its full potential.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for 'Play Minigames with Reiko' to be in early access for approximately 5 months. Currently, we have reached an advanced stage of development, and a significant portion of the game's core content is already created. We believe this period will allow us to work closely with the community, gather valuable feedback, and make the necessary improvements to ensure the game is fully polished and ready for its official release. Our goal is to launch the full version of the game in February 2024, and we are excited to share this experience with our players during early access.”

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

“The full version of 'Play Minigames with Reiko' will be significantly different and improved compared to the early access version. We are committed to delivering a more comprehensive and enriching experience for our players. Some of the changes and enhancements you can expect include:
New Mini-games: We are working on incorporating exciting new mini-games that will add variety and challenge to the gaming experience.

New Locations: The game will expand with the inclusion of additional places, such as the casino, which will offer unique opportunities to interact with Reiko and enjoy new challenges.

Events and Narrative: We have planned new events and exciting moments in the story that will deepen the relationship between the protagonist and Reiko, offering a richer and more immersive narrative.

Polishing of Mini-games: Every existing mini-game will receive special attention to ensure they are polished, balanced, and offer the best possible experience.

New Outfits for Reiko: We will introduce new outfits and customization options for Reiko, allowing players to give their character a unique touch.

We are committed to carefully listening to community feedback during early access and using it to effectively make these improvements and additions. Our goal is to ensure that the full version of the game is an incredibly enriching experience that meets our players' expectations.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the time of the early access release, 'Play Minigames with Reiko' will offer players a solid experience with the following features:
30 Playable Mini-games: The early access version will feature 30 exciting mini-games ready to play and enjoy. Each of these mini-games has been designed to provide unique challenges and constant entertainment.

Story Events: We have prepared three story events that will explore the relationship between the protagonist and Reika. These events will add depth to the narrative and allow players to emotionally connect with the characters.

Variety of Outfits: Players will have the opportunity to gift a multitude of outfits to Reika, allowing for significant character customization and a unique touch to the gaming experience.

While we are excited about the content we will offer in the early access version, we are also eager to work closely with the community and receive their feedback and suggestions. This will help us make additional improvements and expand the gaming experience based on player preferences.”

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

“The price of 'Play Minigames with Reiko' during early access will be lower than the price we plan to set for the full version of the game. Our intention is to offer an incentive to players who decide to support us from the beginning and join us during this development phase.
However, it's important to mention that we have plans to increase the price of the game as we release major content updates. As you mentioned, we have at least two of these significant updates planned. The price increase will reflect the additional value these updates will bring to the game and will allow us to continue investing in its development and improvement.

We want our players to have all the necessary information, so we will announce any price changes in advance and explain how they will affect the overall game experience. Our goal is to maintain a transparent relationship with our community and ensure that everyone is informed about the planned price changes.”

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

“Active community participation in the development process is of utmost importance to us. We plan to engage our players in the following ways:
Forums and Comments: We will establish discussion forums and comment sections on the game platforms for players to share their opinions, suggestions, and concerns. We will closely monitor these channels and respond to their feedback.

Surveys and Questionnaires: We will conduct periodic surveys and questionnaires to gather specific community information on topics such as gameplay preferences, technical issues, and desired content.

Feedback-Based Updates: We will take community suggestions and corrections seriously and use them to make improvements to the game. This may include balance adjustments, bug fixes, and the implementation of features requested by players.

Development Transparency: We will keep the community informed about our development plans, update timelines, and significant changes through regular development updates.

Special Events: We will organize in-game and social media events to encourage active community participation and reward players for their contributions.

Our goal is to create a close and collaborative relationship with the community, where their feedback is valued and has a direct impact on the game's evolution. We want players to feel like they are an integral part of the experience, and that their voices are heard and appreciated.”
