Miksi Early Access?

There are still major updates and features that I want to add to Boink. I am also still in a state of balancing a game that has as many numbers as this, so I am still making significant tweaks to gameplay.

This game started as a weekend challenge to make a game, to a non-consecutive 7 months to refine it down and get it into the state that it is in now. While it has been a significant hurdle for me to get it onto Steam, this is just the starting point of Boink development. I eventually want to lay out Phases of features I want to add, to both serve as milestones for development, and to let the community know the direction Boink is heading in.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

I have set a goal of no longer than 2.5 years. It may come earlier than that depending on the direction Boink may head in, but I don't want to drag something out longer than it needs to. I also want to be upfront with the community for anything that affects the timeline of Boink development.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Prices will stay where they are until Boink leaves early access. This is another thing I want to be upfront with the community with if anything affects this decision.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Working out the details of how to best make this efficient, but I made the game for other people to play and I care about that opinion and feedback. Balancing a game like this is hard, and I appreciate anyone's constructive feedback on how that can be done better.
