Чому дочасний доступ?

«The game is still a work-in-progress, but it is playable from start to finish. We're excited to get the game in the hands of more players and start collecting feedback on a larger scale! This early feedback can help inform us about what to focus on next and ultimately make the game as good as it possibly can be.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«We expect the game will remain in early access for 6-12 months.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«One of the main things we are looking for is any places that players are getting stuck or confused. If you are new to coding, there are a lot of concepts to learn. Even though we have already made many improvements during playtesting to help make the concepts easier to understand, we expect that there is still room to improve here.

In addition, we plan to refine the animations and artwork, add missing sound effects, add more dialog and cutscenes and more levels. Our goal is to make the game feel as fleshed out as possible before the final release. One stretch goal we have is to add some Steam-specific features like achievements and leaderboards.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«The current version of the game features 25+ levels, about a dozen bonus challenges, and a complete story from start to finish. It teaches several important coding concepts: functions, strings, loops, variables, if statements, and more. That said, some aspects of the game may feel a little barebones or unrefined. We expect the game to currently take about 3-6 hours to complete depending on your experience level and how many optional challenges you complete.»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«We are not planning to change the price when the game leaves early access.»
