Wozu Early Access?

„I want to get feedback on the existing puzzles, and see if users feel any of the puzzles are unfairly difficult, broken, or not fun.
I also want people in the community to be able to enjoy what I've built while I finish building the rest!“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„1-2 years. Initially I was hoping to complete development within 6 months, but that timeline was far too optimistic. This is partially because the scope of the game has grown a little bit, but also because I can't afford to give Spritemage Games my full focus anymore. Whether this is my main gig or a side gig, what's important to me is that the gameplay I launch be enjoyable (even if it takes longer than expected), and that players be able to enjoy it at every stage of development. Thank you for taking this journey with me!“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„I plan to add more levels, and a lighthearted fun narrative to match the gameplay and tie the levels together. The first level was planned in such a way that all potential additional features can be layered into later gameplay and the first level can remain unchanged, which means players shouldn't have to backtrack to get the full planned gameplay experience.

In terms of gameplay mechanics I also plan to add power-ups for the protagonist to find, which will allow the player to solve more complex planned puzzles.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Please see the "About This" section for the current state of the game. For any planned future updates to the game within Early Access, I will plan to update the "About This" section as well so that the current state of the Early Access version is accurately reflected.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„The price will gradually increase with additional levels and features, but will remain within common indie game pricing, well below AAA pricing.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„I want to involve the community by getting feedback on what is already built. This could include reporting bugs, suggesting gameplay mechanics or narrative points, and/or indicating which parts of the existing levels they find enjoyable, boring, or otherwise noteworthy.

Please reach out with any of these to contact@spritemagegames.com !

Furthermore, I plan to provide updates to the community through the Steam store page and game community page. For planned future releases, such updates will likely include a list of features added, and what is planned next.“
