Why Early Access?

“We believe that community feedback is crucial for the successful development of Skibi's Castle TD 2. My experience as a Warcraft 3 modder taught me the value of listening to players and incorporating their suggestions. Early Access allows us to gather feedback on the current state of the game, identify what works and what doesn't, and shape the direction of the game collaboratively with our community. This approach will help us create a vibrant and engaged player base.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access until early 2025. This timeline allows us to incorporate community feedback, add new features, and polish the game to ensure a high-quality experience. However, this timeframe is subject to change based on the feedback we receive and the development progress.”

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

“The full version of Skibi's Castle TD 2 will include several features that are currently under development. These features include:

• Steam Cloud Saves
  
• Steam Achievements
  
• Controller Support
  
• Fall-themed Season Content
  
• Challenge Maps
  
• Additional maps, towers, and enemies

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Skibi's Castle TD 2 is a representative slice of the core game and offers approximately 2 hours of gameplay for those looking to fully explore the current content. The core gameplay loop, which includes playing the game, viewing scores on Steam Leaderboards, unlocking new content, and saving progress, is functioning well. We are focused on improving visual and sound effects, addressing bugs, and multiplying the overall player experience with new systems like metagame unlocks, tower loadouts, and challenge maps.”

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

“We plan to gradually increase the price of Skibi's Castle TD 2 as we release new content and features during Early Access. This approach reflects the growing value of the game as it evolves and expands.”

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

“The community plays a vital role in the development of Skibi's Castle TD 2. We invite players to join our Discord server () to share ideas, provide feedback, and discuss the game. In the original Skibi, we named enemies and towers after those who contributed feedback or achieved high scores. We’ll continue this tradition and regularly post updates on our Steam page and Discord. We're committed to listening to our community to shape future game modes, such as incorporating roguelike or idle systems. Plus, you’ll get access to behind-the-scenes content (dev SS's, concept art, new music snippets) from the development team!”
