Why Early Access?

“Early Access is an obvious choice for MouseWorld. I plan to release the game zone by zone, with different enemies in each one and various biomes. Additionally, I will gather player feedback to continuously improve MouseWorld over time. As a developer who is close to the community, I want MouseWorld to be a game shaped by the players' preferences.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Theoretically, from a developer's perspective, I anticipate a final release in two years. It will, of course, require upgrades!”

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

“According to my plans, the final version will include all available zones as well as all enemies. The player's skills will all be accessible, with better progression, without any sort of "restriction" on story advancement.

Additionally, some new skills will be directly inspired by player suggestions, emphasizing our commitment to listening to our community.

I am planning new story quests, along with an improved quest system that will include side quests.

Since the multiple-choice system is already implemented and functional, I plan for future choices to have a much greater impact on the player's progression, their environment, and their gameplay experience. This should create a unique experience for each player based on their specific choices.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of MouseWorld is stable and playable, with available skills and a fairly advanced level of gameplay freedom, including multiple-choice quests. However, there may still be minor or occasional bugs that were not detected during prior testing.

Important Notes: Player saves are, and I plan for them to remain, retroactively compatible with future game updates, meaning you will not lose your progress.

The save system includes two variants: manual saving, which can be done at any time, and automatic saving, which occurs every 5 minutes.”

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

“This is yet to be defined, but I plan to gradually increase the price as new content is added to the game.

Players who purchased early access will, of course, not need to buy the game again.”

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

“A Discord server is available for players so they can communicate with SkillTouch Studio, share their feedback, or report unknown bugs.”
