Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, games can be a lot of work. Early Access will primarily be used to get as much player feedback as possible and improve the game quality overall. It will help a lot to bring the game in a good direction and make the best out of it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently the estimated time is roughly around 6 Months. Along the way I will provide more and more infos about the exact date of the 1.0 version release.”

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

“The 1.0 version of Eternal Rain is planned to have a significantly expanded arsenal of characters, upgrades and enemies. I will also try to include a lot of player feedback throughout the time in development
A general overview of everything that is currently planned for the finished game:

• More characters: There are currently 6 more character ideas that will be in the full version
  
• More upgrades: Many ideas for new upgrade trees and overhauls for old ones
  
• Additonal maps: 2 more maps with other obstacles and challenges
  
• Endless mode
  
• New enemies and boss fights
  
• Additonal power system: An infinite upgrading system outside the main game to boost your character even further
  
• More ways to increase difficulty
  
• Rework graphics & sound
  
• Achievements

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Things currently in game:

• 1 playable + 5 more unlockable characters
  
• 15 different upgrade trees
  
• 1 playable map with unique enemies (3 variations)
  
• Monsoon System (5 increasing difficulties)

”

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

“I'm planning on a reduced price during Early Access that will slightly increase once the game leaves Early Access. I want to keep the costs for players as low as possible so everyone can enjoy the game. There is no additonal purchase to be made for the 1.0 version.”

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

“I'm committed taking in as much feedback from the community as possible. I want to go this journey together with the players as that is the most imporant thing for a game. I have an official Discord Server where I'm trying to have nice conversations together with the community and also where the community itself can talk about the game and figure out cool strategies.

I'm looking forward to go this development journey together with you, working together will make the game what I wish it to be.”
