Why Early Access?

“Early Access gives me a chance to get the game into more players' hands, widen my feedback area, and improve Careening to make it the best that it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access is planned to be relatively brisk (in the grand scheme of things), so I'm looking at about six months to a year, though I think it's best to remain flexible.”

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

“For the full version I intend for the map to be about twice as large, two-three times as many buffs, and twice as many weapons. On top of that are obvious features that are currently missing like writing in any form, music, and a more polished tutorial and onboarding experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is playable for about 4-12 hours (depending on how completionist you wish to be), though does not feature a true "end" state to play. It features 20 weapons, over 90 buffs, and 70 internal achievements to power yourself up across two game modes in a small open world.

The game is still to be expanded with more areas, weapons and buffs, and it currently has some placeholder UI elements, and is missing some audio elements (sound effects and music).”

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

“I expect the price to increase slightly when Early Access ends, to help reward those who purchase early, though the price change will not be great.”

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

“Community Feedback is important for balance, and to help find the fun where I might have breezed past it in design, and while there's a slim number of features that are locked in stone, I am very open to change things based on critique.”
