Why Early Access?

“I am beyond excited to finally share TheoSync with you! It has been a privilege to work with incredibly talented artists (2D/3D and musical) whose efforts have been invaluable in making this dream project into a reality. Early Access is the perfect opportunity to share our work with the world, build a player community, and re-invest into the continued collaboration and growth of our team as we push towards version 1.0. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plan is for an Early Access period of ~2 years, giving us ample time to realize the complete vision for TheoSync without sacrificing content or quality.”

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

“The plan for the full version of TheoSync is to be as feature rich as laid out in the original design documentation including:
- A captivating, multi-level, linear Campaign (story mode)
- At least 1 Arena map corresponding to each Campaign level (if not more)
- 10 inventory weapons with unlockable attachments
- 3 "contraband" heavy weapons
- 4 Bionics with upgradeable tech-trees
- Additional player progression through the "Build-A-Body" terminal
- New enemies, updated enemy behaviors, and Boss Battles
- Additional ballistics such as bullet penetration, explosive ordnance, and light destruction
- Complex platforming puzzles utilizing AB3's ability to vault, grapple, and zipline
- And of course an abundance of lore-rich secrets, collectibles, and Easter Eggs

It is important to note that many of these features are fully implemented in the core development framework and are waiting on production art, polish, and available level context before being released to the public build.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At its core TheoSync is a lightweight, scalable, and polished gameplay framework. Both the Campaign and Arena game mode loops are fully playable. Our Early Access launch build contains:
- An abundance of original (human-made) high quality art + music assets
- 1 Campaign level [Prologue/Tutorial]
- 2 Arena levels [The Atrium + Halls of Serenity]
- 3 inventory weapons with unlockable attachments
- 2 Bionics
- 1 "contraband" heavy weapon (you'll have to find it)
- 3 enemy types that are highly reactive and will stop at nothing to see you disassembled
- and more...

Additionally the current build of TheoSync has been designed to run well on a large variety of hardware setups. Some art assets in the current build are placeholder and not permanent.”

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

“Yes, as we add and update content the price of the game will increase. Players who have already purchased TheoSync will receive all updated content at no additional charge. ”

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

“Community feedback and forum engagement will be essential in not only building a relationship with customers, but in identifying bugs, feature requests, and general sentiment regarding performance, the gameplay loop, etc. I have been developing TheoSync for many years and am passionate about making it as good as possible, thank you all for your feedback and support.
