Miksi Early Access?

Brass Necessity is a game published by Popped Corn Bytes, and here at Popped Corn Bytes, we are not your traditional game publisher. Our games are actually created by the public, community members who are simply passionate about game development. Our goal is not simply to make games, but games we wish we could play.

As community members ourselves, Early Access is a way to double down on our founding principle and involve players further in our game's development. Through Early Access, we strive to create a strong community that helps take games like Brass Necessity into exciting and unexpected directions. We believe the feedback of the players themselves is vital for achieving our goal of making fun games.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

This game aims to be in Early Access for about four to six months to allow Popped Corn Byte members to make improvements to the player experience based on feedback.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

In the full version of the game, we plan to provide additional content and improved balancing.

For additional content, our goal is to add new playable characters, more areas of the crypts to explore, and a larger variety of enemies to slay. With balancing, we're hoping to improve the game's difficulty by improving enemy AI and adding more intricate puzzles. Through these goals, we are planning to extend the current number of levels in the game to allow players to dig deeper into Brass Necessity's crypts and experience a wider variety of gameplay.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access version of Brass Necessity features a minimum playable version of the game with the first five levels and the core mechanics of the final game. This current version spans about 10-15 minutes of playtime, features two playable characters, and three different enemies to fight.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Brass Necessity will be free to play both before and after the official release.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We strive to have an open channel of communication with players and want to connect with them through Steam forums. Players can take part in our game's development by connecting directly with our game's developers to share feedback and ideas.

We plan to use this feedback to determine the direction of puzzles, player controls, and new content, including new locations and additional enemies. We also hope the feedback will inspire new directions to take our existing mechanics, so we can bring the combat to the next level. Lastly, we will use this feedback to build upon the game's foundation by balancing our existing mechanics and combat difficulty.
