Why Early Access?

“We would like to get the game out to players so that the community can help inform what content to spend our time & resources on. We plan on releasing enough content to keep each run different & interesting, then to add more spirits, items & areas to the game during the early access period to deepen the game even further.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1 year”

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

“The early access version will be a full featured version of the game, but with less content. We plan to add more captureable spirits, items and areas to the game. There will also be a story in the full release, but this will be minimised in the early access version. The early access version will focus more on the gameplay and the core roguelite experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version of the game is currently under development and not purchasable, It will be released in Summer 2024.

Currently turn based battles, a small number of bullet hell patterns, 10 capturable spirits and procedural overworld generation with one biome has been implemented. This is only a fraction of the planned content for the early access version, but we are focusing on polishing the core mechanics of the game. We will add content closer to release. On release of the early access version we plan to have 30 capturable spirits and 2 playable areas.”

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

“No, Interstice will always be the same price.”

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

“Once the early access version has been released, we will update the game with content patches every 2 weeks. These usually contain new capturable spirits or playable areas. However the types, affinities & movesets of these new spirits will be directed by the community.

Closer to the release date the discord for the game will be made public, here we will hold polls deciding what sort of additions the community is interested in and will tailor the content patches based on community feedback.”
