Porquê Acesso Antecipado?

"I believe that behind every great indie game is a great community, and as a solo developer my perspective is always going to be limited. So I feel like its time to involve the community in the development process, after all its you who will ultimately enjoy it or not.
Currently the game feels like it has the potential to be a solid, unique entry to the rogue-lite genre, which is why I would like to share it with you now, and with your support and patience, it can continue to grow into the game its meant to be!"

Qual é o estado atual da versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"Currently DOA plays like an endless rogue-lite where you can fight through levels indefinitely until you die.

• 3 Enemy types: Melee, Mages and Exploders.
  
• 3 Enemy Tiers of each type, with higher tiers filtering in the further you get.
  
• There are currently NO boss fights, if this is a deal breaker, check back in now and then.
  
• Dynamic music system, low intensity plays while out of combat, and high intensity kicks in during.
  
• Items to improve/hinder your stats, they can change your appearance but can be equipped unlimitedly (treat them like consumables). You may also lock your appearance to prevent any further changes if you like your look.
  
• Power items which give you usable/passive power effects (eg: shoot a burst of projectiles behind you while dodging)
  
• It has working (but slightly janky) Procedural level generation.
  
• A Shop and mysterious moustached trader to spend souls you collect in each run.
  
• There is currently NO control rebinding. However there IS a temporary AZERTY support toggle in 'Game' settings for movement.
  
• Some limited flavour text on item descriptions to tease at some world building and lore.
  
• The global light can be disabled, and you can play in the dark, All player and enemy attacks/telegraphing can still be seen, as well as enemy eyes, its a very interesting way to play, I recommend giving it a go.

There are a few bugs here and there but nothing that has been game breaking in my own testing, eg. occasionally the pathfinding breaks and enemies cant chase you over a specific floor tile, or physics damage doesn't register now and then, or the level generator goes rogue and overlaps a bunch of props and causes a prop explosion(but that's just fun).

There is one illusive bug that continues to baffle me, and honestly I don't have the heart to rip it out. But every now and then, you may be lucky enough to witness a bookcase walk across the room or fly off into the Sky."

O jogo vai ter preços diferentes durante e depois do Acesso Antecipado?

"I may increase the price a small amount once the game launches in 1.0 depending on the extent of development."
