Why Early Access?

“HyperTyper 2000 is a unique game, and we want to strive to make it enjoyable for anyone, from those just starting their typing journey to roguelike die-hards typing at 130+ WPM. That means experimenting, listening to feedback, taking suggestions, and giving players options to tailor their experiences - and that means we need your help to make this game everything it can be!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6-12 months”

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

“The full version of the game will have significantly more content and a greater depth of features. We plan to have at least 5 floors in the dungeon, each with a unique boss battle and varied enemies on each floor.

We plan to constantly add new items and upgrades, alongside regularly designing new enemies and challenges.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of the game has three playable procedurally-generated dungeon floors with two unique boss battles and many items to upgrade your run! Buy items from the shop, find them in chests, or win them in challenge rooms.

There is also a fully-featured Endless Mode with waves of enemies, upgrades, and Steam Leaderboards. Plus, a collection of set Challenges with various difficulties to test your skills!

Additionally, the game has several ways to play any of the above, including Single-Key Mode, which changes all typed text to be one letter only instead of full words, for those earlier in their typing journeys. On the other hand, there's also Hell Mode, which creates fully-random gibberish for you to type for an extra challenge! We also support numeric modes, where you can use the numpad to type numbers instead of words.

Assist Mode allows further customization of difficulty, letting players change the game speed or set limits on the length of words they'll be expected to type in-game. ”

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

“We plan to increase the price gradually over the Early Access period as new content and features ship”

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

“HyperTyper 2000 has been a solo project for most of its lifetime, and we take community feedback seriously! We have implemented player ideas and feedback within 24 hours of receiving it before, and we plan to continue to be as active as possible in engaging with our community as they help make clear what works, what doesn't, and what direction they would like to see the game move towards.”
