Why Early Access?

“Your feedback is immensely valuable. Early Access is your chance to get involved with the games development. We want to know what you like about our game, but more importantly, what you dislike. We want you to play it, break it, scream at it and help us polish off the rough edges so that we can make it the best game we can.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game shall remain in Early Access until full launch, which we estimate to be within Q4 2016. Throughout development, Early Access supporters will receive a regular stream of tasty content updates, patches, access to development and full transparency.”

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

“We've been working on the game for well over two years now and it has finally reached a point where the core systems are fun and playable. From here on out, our primary focus is on content creation, as well as listening to your feedback and tweaking the game until it's ready for launch. Scroll down to the 'About this Game' section to get an idea of all the exciting content we have planned.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is in Alpha, currently marching towards Beta. The core game systems are in place. Currently there are two areas to play, "The Garden of Denial", and "The Furnace of Anger" but due to the unforgiving, randomly generated nature of the game, players should find plenty of replayability. Collect Ooze and upgrade your character in preparation for the next area release, "The Cistern of Depression". As it is still in development, there will be bugs and issues with hardware configurations, but we will endeavor to squash those problems as quickly as possible.”

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

“The Early Access price for FranknJohn will be the same as the full launch price.”
