Why Early Access?

“My goal is to create a game that can support high-level competitive play, and Early Access will be how I gather precise feedback for what works and what doesn't before the standards for high-level play become too ingrained to change.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As long as it takes to complete my roadmap and fix bugs, which will likely take somewhere between 1-2 years. I'm working on this game solely in my free time, so please be patient.”

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

“The game as-is lacks two main features: Online leaderboards for official maps and a level editor with workshop support. I also plan to introduce more official maps over the course of Early Access, along with some quality of life improvements and more minor offline features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version contains most major offline features planned for the full release (except for everything that will come with the level editor) along with five official maps to play.”

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

“The game itself will remain free forever, but due to the costs associated with hosting leaderboards and replays alongside those leaderboards, access to the leaderboards must come with a paid DLC. I also have plans to release at least one "expansion" after the game's full release, which (depending on a variety of factors in the future that I couldn't possibly predict) may also release as paid DLC.”

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

“As stated before, the purpose of doing an Early Access launch is to make changes that will disrupt high-level play before the game mechanics become too set in stone to change, and the direction I take with those changes will be influenced by player feedback. If you want to provide feedback, joining my Discord server is the best way to do it, though I'll keep an eye on Steam forums and other such places as well.”
