Miksi Early Access?

PIGFACE is a project that requires a lot of time and attention to detail in order to design levels of appropriate fidelity and create systems that don’t catch fire. However, it also features simple objectives with many solutions and an array of equipment for the player to use. Because of this, much of the current content in PIGFACE does not depend on systems and equipment that will be added later.

Rather than waiting until everything is done, it makes more sense for me as a developer to allow players to experience the game as it is, and enjoy the new things as they are added. This gives you, the player, an opportunity to provide feedback to me, the developer, as well as give you the chance to play and replay levels that are designed to be experienced more than once, and sometimes with new, fun tools.

Additionally, since this game relies heavily on complex enemy interactions, Early Access will ensure that their AI is developed to be consistent, fun, and chaotic.
