Miksi Early Access?

Being an independent developer, I chose to release my game in Early Access for several reasons:

Direct player feedback: As a solo developer, it is essential for me to receive concrete feedback from players. Your suggestions will help me improve game mechanics, balance levels, and fix potential issues.

Progressive evolution: My goal is to gradually develop the game by regularly adding new levels, challenges, and mechanics. Early Access allows me to build the game step by step, incorporating your ideas to guide its development.

Building an engaged community: I hope to create a community around the game where players can share their solutions and ideas while helping me build a richer and more enjoyable experience.

Early Access is an opportunity to collaborate with you to shape a game that evolves based on your feedback and expectations.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

I cannot provide an exact duration for the Early Access period, but I expect it to last more than a year. My main goal is to ensure the game reaches an optimal level of quality and includes all the necessary content and features to offer a complete and satisfying experience.

I am an independent developer, and development can be unpredictable, but I am committed to actively working on the game throughout this period, staying attentive to community feedback to guide my decisions.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The final version of the game is expected to be a more polished experience, shaped by feedback received during Early Access. While I cannot guarantee specific outcomes, here are some of the directions I plan to explore:

Enhanced content: I aim to expand the game with more levels, construction types, and challenges, offering greater variety in gameplay.
Gameplay improvements: Player feedback will help guide adjustments to balance, mechanics, and overall playability.
Overall experience: I plan to refine visuals, sound effects, and the user interface to make the experience more immersive and polished.
These plans represent my goals for the game’s development, but they may evolve based on feedback and the resources available during Early Access.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The game is still in its early stages, after approximately one year of development. Currently, the Early Access version includes 8 playable levels that introduce various mechanics and challenges.

While the game is playable in its current state, there is still a lot of work to be done, including:

Adding new levels and enriching gameplay options.
Fixing existing bugs and optimizing performance.
Improving certain visual and audio aspects to create a more immersive experience.
This version provides a solid foundation to test the core mechanics and gather constructive feedback from the community. Your input will help guide the next steps in development and shape this version into a complete and polished final experience.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

I plan to keep the current price throughout the Early Access period and after the final release. The price is already set to reflect the value I aim to provide to players now, and I have no plans to increase it in the future.

This approach ensures that players can support the project from the beginning while keeping the price accessible and consistent with the game's vision.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Involving the community is a priority for me, as your feedback is essential to improving the game. Here’s how I plan to integrate your ideas into the development process:

Direct feedback: I encourage players to share their impressions, suggestions, and bug reports through Steam forums, social media, or other channels I will provide.

Regular updates: I will release frequent updates based on feedback, explaining the changes made and the reasoning behind those decisions.

Testing new features: Players will have the opportunity to test new mechanics or levels before their final integration, allowing for real-time feedback on what works and what needs improvement.

Polls and votes: For certain decisions, such as level themes or priority features, I plan to organize polls to give the community a voice in the process.

I want players to feel fully involved in the creation of this game, and I’m open to any ideas that could enrich the experience.
