Чому дочасний доступ?

«TL;DR: We want to make the game the best it can be - by building it together with the community.

We believe traditional roguelikes are a perfect fit for Early Access, especially when developers actively engage with players. Our development thrives on frequent updates, with even more frequent BETA builds available to the community via the ChaosForge Discord.

Player feedback shapes our roadmap, features, and balance decisions. You can already see this approach in action by looking at the update history of Jupiter Hell! Like fine wine, roguelikes tend to age well - and we want to give this one time to ferment into something truly great.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«We're aiming for a 1.0 release in August 2026, focused on expanding the game's breadth and refining every aspect to a high level of polish. The current version already offers a complete roguelike experience - Early Access allows us to grow it further, guided by community feedback.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«Roguelike development tends to expand horizontally - rather than changing the core, we add more depth and variety. Expect more items, enemies, level generators, branches, traits, challenges, and new playable classes. At the same time, we'll continue refining and polishing the overall experience.

A rough roadmap of our plans is available on the Steam forums, and we're actively incorporating feedback from the community along the way.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«The game is fully playable from start to finish, with all major systems in place. We're now focused on expanding its breadth - more items, enemies, systems, level generators, branches, special levels, challenges, and better modding support. We're also steadily improving polish, visual variety, and overall feel.

Want the bullet-point feature dump for the marketing folks? Sure, let's play that game :)

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«Yes, we plan to slightly raise the price as we approach version 1.0 and the game reaches our target level of content and polish. Any price changes will be clearly communicated in advance, so players have plenty of time to jump in at the current price.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«Whether it's here on the Steam forums, on the ChaosForge/Jupiter Hell Discord, our official ChaosForge forums, or even on Reddit, X or BlueSky - we read all feedback! Players who've been part of our community over the past two decades know: we take feedback seriously, and many suggestions have directly shaped our games.

Roguelike development has always thrived on collaboration, and we're continuing that tradition - together with you!»
