Why Early Access?

“Ragdoll Mayhem Maker is a game built around a core of creativity and community. We believe that the game's full potential will be realized through the incredible levels designed by its players. By launching in Early Access, we want to build this game with our community. Your feedback on new level parts, game modes, and features will be crucial in helping us shape the ultimate physics sandbox. The game is already a fun and stable experience, but we believe your involvement can help us grow it into something truly special.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for the game to be in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This timeline is flexible, as our primary goal is to ensure the game is a robust experience upon full release, and we will be guided by player feedback throughout the process.”

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

“Our goal for the future is to expand upon the core features and add more content based on what the community enjoys the most. Our current plan includes exploring features like:
- More Level Parts: We hope to add dozens of new traps, interactive objects, and specialized components to the level editor.
- An Expanded Set of Official Levels: We plan on building more handcrafted levels to showcase new features and provide fun challenges.
- Quality-of-Life Improvements: We plan to incorporate player feedback to refine the game with performance optimizations, and usability improvements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version is fully playable, stable, and already packed with features. When you buy the game today, you get:

• A complete core gameplay loop with hilarious and robust ragdoll physics.
• 30+ unique, handcrafted levels to play and solve.
• A powerful and easy-to-use Level Editor where you can build and save your own creations.
• A fully functional online portal where players can upload their own levels and download creations from other players.
• A wide variety of building components, including basic blocks, traps, fans, and even a full suite of pinball parts.
• Partial controller support for both gameplay and menus.

You can immediately start playing the official levels or jump right into the editor to create and share your own levels with friends and the community.”

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

“Yes. We are planning on offering the game at a 25% discounted price during Early Access as a thank you to the community for your support and for your invaluable feedback during development.
We plan to increase the price upon the full release to reflect the expanded content and features added throughout the Early Access period. By getting in early, you are not only helping to shape the game, but you are also getting it at the best possible price.”

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

“Community involvement is the entire reason we are launching in Early Access! We will be actively listening and engaging with players on our community platforms:
• The Official Level Sharing Website: We already have an online website (link on our store page) where you can upload your own levels and download levels made by other players. We will be actively looking at the most popular and creative levels to inspire new official content and features.
• The Steam Community Hub: We will regularly check the forums to discuss ideas, answer questions, and gather bug reports.

We are specifically looking for your feedback on what new level parts you want to see, what features would make the editor more powerful, and what kind of official levels you enjoy the most. Our goal is to build the ultimate physics sandbox together.”
