Miksi Early Access?

We're using Early Access to tune the core loop with real players. The game is fully playable, but balance, pacing, and polish benefit from feedback, especially around the between-wave upgrades, permanent upgrades, and the Ship player feel.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We're close. The game is feature complete and in a release-candidate polish phase. We'll leave Early Access when stability, balance, and UI/UX meet our bar. No fixed date. If new issues come up, we'll take the time to fix them.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

1.0 focuses on polish and balance: upgrade tiers/stacking, wave pacing, UI/UX, VFX/SFX, and bug fixes. We may add a small number of upgrades/cosmetics where they improve variety. Post-release, our 1.1 goal is online multiplayer. Plans can change based on testing and feedback.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

PolyDestroyer is playable and stable. The core loop is in: after each wave you choose one of three random, tiered upgrades that stack during the run. Between runs you spend coins on permanent upgrades and cosmetics. In combat you use turbo to reposition and Shield for brief invulnerability. Weapons are found during runs and equipped for the next run, while ships are cosmetic only. Steam Achievements, full controller support, and eight languages are included. Expect ongoing balance changes, UI/UX polish, performance work, and bug fixes.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

We expect a modest price increase at 1.0. The price will stay as-is during Early Access.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We post patch notes, read the Steam Discussions, and review bug reports and balance feedback. We'll share what we're working on and why, and adjust based on player data and comments. We also keep an active Discord server for quicker feedback and small playtests when needed.
