Why Early Access?

“The game is in early access to address incomplete development aspects, primarily focusing on enhancing multiplayer functionality and character assets.

Our vision for the multiplayer functionality includes implementing a friends list widget, allowing players to easily join their friends, along with a server list option for joining open lobbies. We're also refining lobby management options, providing players with more control over opening and closing their lobbies to enhance their gaming experience.

Regarding character assets, we're transitioning from static images to dynamic 3D models with animations, elevating the visual appeal and immersion of the game. Additionally, players can anticipate expanded choices for the main character, offering more customization options.

By entering early access, we're committed to refining these features based on player feedback and ensuring the game reaches its full potential. We're dedicated to the ongoing development of our product, ready to receive input from the community, and committed to seeing our project through to completion.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This game will continue in early access until we've thoroughly developed and polished both the multiplayer features and character assets. We estimate that this process will take approximately six months to ensure a comprehensive and enjoyable gaming experience for our players.”

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

“The full version is expected to offer significant enhancements compared to the Early Access version. Key improvements include the implementation of comprehensive multiplayer functionality and the refinement of character assets to elevate the gaming experience.

In the full release, players can anticipate the introduction of a friends list widget within the multiplayer functionality, facilitating seamless connections with friends. Additionally, a server list option will be available, enabling players to join open lobbies hosted by other players. Enhanced lobby management features will provide players with more control over opening and closing their lobbies.

Moreover, substantial upgrades are planned for character assets. The current monkey character, represented as a static image, will be transformed into a dynamic 3D model with animations, enhancing visual appeal and immersion. Players will also have expanded options for customizing the main character, offering greater flexibility and personalization.

Throughout the Early Access phase, we will closely monitor feedback and address any issues or suggestions raised by the community. This iterative process aims to refine gameplay mechanics, optimize performance, and ensure a seamless transition to the full release, delivering an enriched gaming experience for all players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As of the current Early Access version, the game features a static image for the monkey character. Players can utilize the Steam API user interface to invite and join friends, facilitating multiplayer interaction. Additionally, there exists a single character asset model available for player use.”

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

“No.”

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

“We plan to actively involve the community in our development process primarily through Discord and reviews. By maintaining open communication channels on Discord and encouraging discussions, we aim to gather valuable feedback on various aspects of the game, including gameplay mechanics, features, and overall experience.

In addition to Discord, we'll closely monitor reviews and comments from our community on platforms like Steam. These reviews will provide insights into what players enjoy about the game, as well as areas where improvements are needed.

We'll offer beta testing opportunities to our community, allowing them to experience new features and provide feedback before they are officially implemented. Community members will also have the chance to vote on proposed features, giving them a direct impact on the game's direction.

Transparency is key to our approach, and we'll keep the community informed about our development progress, including upcoming updates and changes. We'll organize engagement events such as Q&A sessions and community challenges to foster interaction and collaboration among players.

Ultimately, our goal is to create a collaborative environment where community members feel valued and empowered to actively shape the future of the game.”
