Why Early Access?

“Extreme Forklifting 3 is mostly feature complete, but there is still content to be made, levels, accessories and maybe a few more vehicles.
This game is done by myself alone, and it’s easy to miss things that would be obvious from someone outside the development, so I think that getting player input will be very valuable to shape the remaining content and tweak existing levels making sure the game becomes the best it can be!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly six months to a year, but this could change should the game scope change drastically.
There are currently no concrete plans on multiplayer, it would be fun to have a separate multiplayer arena mode, that is something that would drastically change the duration of Early Access.”

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

“The full version of Extreme Forklifting 3 aims to have about 50 levels with enough variation to not feel repetitive. Possibly a few more vehicles like a larger drivable crane and a skid-steer.
There are no plans to add additional player characters, giraffes are the only animals that are forklift certified in this world.
Note that the leaderboards will most likely be wiped as the game leaves Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of Extreme Forklifting 3 is a polished forklift driving 3D platform game, with about 30 levels, six drivable vehicles, 30 unique pallets, about 30 accessories for the forklift and giraffe.
It’s a solid game but I want to add more content and polish the existing content.”

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

“Yes, during Early Access the game will be sold at a discount since it’s not yet fully content complete.”

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

“I aim to keep most of the discussions here in the Steam community forums.
Please report any bugs or balancing issues there. Levels and vehicles may be tweaked based on player feedback.
If there is enough interest I don’t mind setting up a Discord server, however I do find it easier to have deeper discussions on the forum form rather than chat.

On top of discussions I will keep a close watch on the leaderboards to tweak the difficulty of the levels, some levels might be too easy or too hard at the moment.”
