Miksi 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!

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

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.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

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.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

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.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

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

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Player feedback will be vital to improve the game, shape the levels and vehicles, in particular the late game, as well as perfecting the fashion sense of the forklift certified giraffe.

I aim to keep most of the discussions here in the Steam community forums but 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.
