Why Early Access?

“Into Oblivion's Gate is an evolving experience, and we believe in involving our players every step of the way. By launching in Early Access, we aim to gather valuable feedback from the community to shape the game’s future and ensure it meets players’ expectations. The game is already fully playable, but we’re excited to continuously expand and refine it with new features, levels, and mechanics.

We plan to add fresh content weekly, including new levels, unique challenges, and dynamic updates to existing stages. This means the game will feel different with each update, keeping the experience exciting and unpredictable. Early Access allows us to test and iterate on these ideas with input from players, ensuring every addition enhances the gameplay.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that Into the Oblivion's Gate will remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This timeframe allows us to implement planned updates, expand the game with new levels and features, and refine the overall experience based on player feedback.

Our goal is to deliver a polished, content-rich final version that exceeds expectations while ensuring the game remains fun, engaging, and challenging throughout its development.”

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

“The full version of Oblivion's Gate is planned to be a more expansive, polished, and feature-rich experience shaped by the feedback we receive during Early Access. While the Early Access version provides a strong foundation with dynamic and challenging gameplay, the full version will aim to enhance every aspect of the game.

Here’s what we hope to achieve with the full version:

Expanded Content: Expect a greater variety of levels with new mechanics, challenges, and dynamic updates that ensure the game remains unpredictable and exciting.
Evolving Gameplay: We'll introduce new player abilities, interactive environments, and unique obstacles, making the gameplay more immersive and strategic.
Weekly Updates During Early Access: These updates will add new levels, replace older ones, and refine the experience in preparation for the full release.
Polished Visuals and Audio: Enhanced graphics, improved animations, and a more immersive sound design to create a captivating atmosphere.
Community-Driven Features: Player feedback will play a key role in the development process, helping us fine-tune mechanics, add content, and introduce features that players want to see.
Our ultimate goal is to deliver a full version of Oblivion's Gate that surprises, challenges, and immerses players while retaining the dynamic and evolving nature that makes the game unique”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As of November 2024, Oblivion's Gate is in its Early Access phase, offering a foundational experience that represents approximately 20-30% of the planned full game. In this version, players can navigate through a series of challenging levels, each designed to test reflexes and strategic thinking. The core mechanics include movement and jumping, with a focus on avoiding obstacles and finding the correct path to progress.

Currently, the game does not feature bosses, monsters, or weapons. However, the development team is actively working on expanding the game's content. Regular updates are planned to introduce new levels, mechanics, and features, aiming to enhance the overall gameplay experience. Player feedback during this Early Access period is highly valued and will play a crucial role in shaping the future development of Oblivion's Gate.

For the most current information on updates and content additions, please refer to the official Steam community discussions”

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

“Yes, we plan to gradually raise the price of Oblivion's Gate as we add new content, features, and polish the overall experience during Early Access. The current price reflects the early development state of the game, and as more levels, mechanics, and updates are introduced, the price will be adjusted to reflect the expanded value.

We encourage players to join us during Early Access to not only experience the game at its current price but also to contribute to its evolution with your feedback.”

Player Feedback Channels: We encourage players to share their thoughts, suggestions, and bug reports via the game’s Steam Community forums, Discord server, and other social platforms. Your insights will help us identify areas for improvement and prioritize new features.

Polls and Surveys: We’ll regularly conduct polls and surveys to gather input on potential features, level designs, and gameplay mechanics. This will ensure the game evolves in a way that resonates with our players.

Early Access Updates: With weekly updates planned, players will have the chance to see their suggestions implemented and experience how their feedback shapes the game in real-time.
