Why Early Access?

“As a solo dev, it takes time to bring elements such as music, background and dialog to the highest quality while making the game. I believe that early access is necessary both to make the game even more beautiful and to reach the maximum potential of 3Paths by getting feedback from players with each update.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to keep it in early access for a year at most.”

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

“Features that the full version planned to have:

• 8 hours of gameplay with different story paths
  
• Additional story-related game mechanics, including expanded options for the 'Assistant' feature and a planned 'Recovery' mechanic for the game's second act.
  
• Soundtracks entirely unique to 3Paths
  
• More background and character sprites
  
• CGs for special scenes

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the current Early Access version of the game, basic ACT structure and character routes have been completed. Menus, save system, some secrets, and the UI design have reached the desired level of quality. The game's biggest drawback is that the character sprites and backgrounds aren't good enough. Also, the music wasn't custom-made for 3Paths. Apart from that, the game manages to tell the story it intends to tell. The dialogues are complete, and each Path has its own unique style.”

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

“The price is planned to increase for the full version.”

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

“All necessary links accessible from the game's main menu(s). Players can provide detailed feedback by filling out the form I’ve prepared for the game. They can also reach out to me directly via the contact information provided on the form page (e-mail etc.). However, the main platform for community interaction is the Community tab on my YouTube channel, where players can leave comments under videos or community posts to share their feedback.”
