What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is already fun ! But we know there are many cool features to implement. We want to hear players and see which one should come first and also discuss with them high level design ideas. ThunderWheels is heavily focused on community, sharing tracks, competing, etc. So we believe listening to players is a natural thing to do in this game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Depending on features requested and the amount of changes we will be in Early Access not less than 6 months.”

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

“The game will change quite a bit. One of the features planed is the Online mode and some kind of automatic way for sharing user generated content. Those features will make a big difference for gamers.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The base game play is implemented and very well fine-tuned, there is a party mode for playing with your friends in the same PC, full support for Joystick, and there isn't any critical bug. Stability is pretty good and the features already implemented are 100% functional.”

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

“The price will be increased just a bit once we get final version, but not too much. We will try to set a price according to the number of features we finally implement.”

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

“Mostly using community hub / forums on Steam, answering doubts and discussing features with the users there. We will try to make polls and see which feature has more votes, etc.”
