Why Early Access?

“Over the past year, the Goblintown team has loved making Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game as fun (and difficult) as possible. We’ve tested and tweaked for months, but to take it to the next level, we need an outside perspective. Nothing truly great has been made in a complete vacuum! With your feedback, we can continue to make the game as good as it can be. Community is at the core of Goblintown, and Early Access makes it possible for us to make sure we’re building the game our community wants and will enjoy. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The length of the Early Access period wholeheartedly depends in large part feedback we get. If our community likes the direction of the game and it’s only some moderate tweaks and improvements, we’d like to get the game out in the coming months. But we have audacious goals for everything we want to include, so it could take longer. As a hard deadline, we intend to have the game out before the end of 2025. ”

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

“The Early Access version could be considered a full game experience, but we think there’s a lot more that can be done within the existing gameplay. We’re talking comprehensive leaderboards, and the ability to customize outfits and characters. More than that, we want to add even more exciting tracks, biomes, and obstacles to make the game even harder.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is a fully playable game (a very hard one at that) on the main track. More tracks will be added in the future. To find out more about the current state of the game, check out the “About” section on the Steam site.”

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

“We intend to offer the game at a discount during the beginning of Early Access. But we don't plan on increasing the base price when we leave Early Access.”

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

“This is very much a community co-creation. Months of play tests with community members have helped shape the direction of the game and refine the gameplay. As we enter Early Access, your feedback is even more important as we refine the game further. In addition to play tests, we also pay close attention to sentiment in our Discord, X account, Steam forums, and our support email for any feedback that comes in about the game. ”
