Why Early Access?

“We want to create the best educational physics game ever made. That means creating something that truly teaches you physics while being entertaining. We feel that this is impossible without getting your feedback. We want you to help us steer the direction of the game; which concepts do you want to learn next? Are the levels too easy or too difficult? What quality of life features would you like us to add? All of these questions can't be answered without your help.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game has been in development for about two years already, but now that most of the framework is there. Now we need to add levels to cover the rest of the topics. We plan to release an update every few months until all topics are covered which should take about 2 years.”

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

“The Early Access version contains levels covering mechanics concepts. In the final version we hope to include levels that cover thermal physics, waves, electricity and fields among others. Players will find out the secrets of The Institute as well, of course.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A complete build with over 30 levels covering mechanics concepts such as conservation of energy, forces, collisions and circular motion.”

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

“We expect the price to be raised by the time 1.0 comes out, but it's also a personal goal of mine to help as many people learn and love physics as possible. If that means keeping the price low, then so be it.”

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

“We want your feedback on two main things:
1. The difficulty of the levels. Do we need to add more levels in between to smooth the difficulty curve or so we need to add more difficult levels to really test you know your stuff?
2. The order of which topics to add to the game. The next topic we want to add is either thermal physics or waves, but we want you to decide which one we should focus on next.
