Miksi Early Access?

Currently, it's just me working on the coding side, dedicating my time and passion solely to C++. I'm using my savings from my previous job to fund this dream. Tom, a friend and collaborator, contributes to the game's models. We share a deep appreciation for tower defense games and are particularly fond of ones that offer simple yet profound replayability through scaling. We're convinced that there's untapped potential in this genre for incorporating rogue-like elements and innovation. My commitment is reflected in the approximately 1,500 hours I've already invested in pure coding time over the past five months.
But, in order to ensure we head in the right direction, we need to get feedback from the community and build more around those ideas.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

Predicting an end date for Early Access is quite challenging. The creative process is fluid, filled with great ideas that will take time to implement. Depending on feedback, it could be 12-18 months.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The game aims to be a large scaled tower defence game, with a progressive tech tree, lots of upgrades, and many enemy/boss types.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

In its current state, the game lays a solid foundation with basic yet expansive systems. Towers can be upgraded and scaled for increasing challenge. A diverse array of enemies, each with unique traits, scale in difficulty with the player's progression. The groundwork for our resource systems and procedural generation is set, promising varied gameplay with each new session.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

The game is envisioned to remain affordable post-Early Access, with only a modest price adjustment to reflect the additional content and enhancements made. Ultimately, our pricing will be informed by player feedback and the value we deliver. Keeping the game accessible is a top priority, and any decision on pricing will be carefully considered with the community's perspective in mind.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Our approach to Early Access is wholly inclusive of community involvement. I am personally committed to engaging with our players, considering all suggestions, and adapting the game accordingly. Every piece of feedback is a step toward realizing the shared vision for our game, balanced with the project's scope and my time.
