Why Early Access?

“We would like for players to be able to test out new features and engage with our game so that we can redirect future changes to be fitting to player's needs. In addition to that, this game is being developed on a 0 dollar budget, and we would like to be able to show it to as many people as possible, which is why we think this would be a great opportunity for us and players alike.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“3-4 Months.”

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

“As our number of programmers has increased, we are currently working on 4 more Arcade Games that have their own twists. We are planning to make those available to you as soon as possible and adjust and balance existing games based on player feedback.

Additionally, we want to make the Arcade Hall feel more cozy and familiar to you as the player, so we are planning on implementing a system allowing for players to customize their Hub area by purchasing and placing furniture and texture sets through the in-game Ticket Shop (no real money, only through earned tickets by playing the games).”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“If you select either "New Story" or "Continue" in the Main Menu, you can traverse the 3D Hub, interact with the Ghost character, and engage in his Story, playing the 3 Arcade Mini Games one after the other. While playing the Arcade Games, you earn tickets according to your score, and you can spend them on funny hats in the Cosmetics Shop (no real money, only through earned tickets by playing the games).
You can also access the Arcade Games directly via the "Arcade Mode" in the Main Menu. There, you can play them repeatedly without interruption and get your highest score.”

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

“It is supposed to be free-to-keep during the entire Early Access phase, and will cost a small sum after the release of the full game.”

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

“We plan on making player feedback directly influence both bug-fixes and future updates tone-wise. We plan on carefully considering every review the game gets.
