Wozu Early Access?

„Entering Early Access allows us to refine and expand the game based on your feedback. Currently, it features 12 sections rich in rhythmic puzzles and action gameplay. Releasing now helps us to enhance content quantity & quality, and develop new features effectively.

Building this game has meant inventing new approaches in many domains: music interaction systems and audio middleware, 2D-to-3D middleware for multi-surface gameplay, and most of all shader & rendering techniques to perfect the Glyph Engine "Liquid Stone" look. These various aspects of research & development are taking multiple years to complete to the standard of the original vision.“

„We plan to gradually increase the pricing as new content is added. Early adopters benefit from initial lower prices, gaining lifetime access to any future updates and expansions we plan to release. The goal for Echoes of Egypt is to include 2-4 smaller editions like Hathor's Cube and other installments, or one large installment with 1-2 smaller editions. When Echoes of Egypt contains a mix of contained editions at this scale, we plan to leave early access and launch the full game at approximately $15-$20 price point.“
