Why Early Access?

“Synchronous is still in active development. One more level (Level 5.10) as well as a host of polish and quality-of-life features are planned to be added. The game will also receive either more sound effects or music that is more integrated with the gameplay. Because Synchronous is primarily developed by myself only, I need the help of the community to bring bugs, suggestions, and feedback to my attention. I know that with the help of the community, we can make Synchronous into the best game it can be for when it eventually reaches the full release!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Synchronous will likely be in Early Access for no longer than a year, but this primarily depends on how long it takes to deliver the game that I and the community believe is the full and complete release.”

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

“The vast majority of the content planned for the game is in the game currently. What remains to be developed is Level 5.10, some sound effect work, and general polish.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Synchronous in its Early Access state is a fully playable game. All the content in the "About This Game: Content" section is present in the game, mainly comprised of 49 levels divided into 5 chapters. Further polish and the final level are currently in development.”

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

“Synchronous will always have a very lengthy and completely free demo containing the first few chapters (currently Chapters 1 through 3). The price of the full version will always be low, but it is planned to be raised slightly when Synchronous is fully released.”

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

“Since Synchronous is a (primarily) one-man endeavor, I am extremely open to detailed and constructive feedback of all kinds. I rely heavily on the Community for bug reporting and feature requests.
