Why Early Access?

“Currently, the core gameplay is done, while my teammates are working on the aesthetics (visual effects, character designs and models, sound effects, music). I'd like to have a playable version of the game out to get a feel for how fun the gameplay is while the aesthetics are being developed.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“3-6 months”

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

“The full version is planned to have uniquely created character designs and 3D models (as opposed to the current placeholders), visual effects, sound effects, and music.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As mentioned in the Description, this is a Top-Down Roguelite. It is mechanically feature-complete:
- 10 enemy types and 3 Bosses
- Procedurally generated rooms
- Common enemies (i.e., non-Bosses) randomly drop weapons of 5 weapon types (Sword, Axe, Spear, Crossbow, Tome), each with their own Signature Moves
- Each weapon dropped will have two of 36 Weapon Abilities, which, along with its power and durability, will determine how much space in the palyer's inventory they take up.
- Enemies can also randomly drop one of 6 Potion types. The player can hold on to a max of 6 potions.
- The player can upgrade their stats after defeating bosses (Health, Inventory Space, and Signature Gain), and enemies get stronger as the player climbs higher.
- Defeating enemies earns the player points, and their top 3 scores are saved.
- There are 4 default control schemes, and the player can create and save up to 5 custom control schemes, and switch between them during gameplay using the number keys.”

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

“Yes. Once the visuals, music, and sound effects are done, the game will increase in price, all at once.”

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

“Players can report bugs and give feedback on various gameplay mechanics (movement feel, enemy and boss difficulty, Signature Move ease of access, Weapon Ability balance), report their high scores, and discuss general things they liked, didn't like, or would like to see expanded on in this form here: https://forms.gle/ST92yWywnRjDuCzWA”
