¿Por qué ofreces acceso anticipado?

«bagelball is playable with the main mechanics, and id like to make it accessible for anyone to play it and see it's potential. however, there are still quite a lot of significant changes i would like to make, such as rebalancing the bagel throw, making quantum bagels into a separate gamemode, music, more sfx and vfx for when you hit things at high velocities, etc. this led me to the decision that early access would be the best.

id also like to receive feedback from a wider playerbase than my friends which is another good reason for early access.»

¿Cuánto tiempo va a estar este juego en acceso anticipado aproximadamente?

«the game will stay early access for just below 1 year, maybe even a few months if i find the time to work on the features outlined.»

¿Qué diferencias habrá entre la versión completa y la versión de acceso anticipado?

«to escape early access i would need to as a MINIMUM:

• add character models
  
• add a music system
  
• add custom lobby options
  
• give bagel steal a cooldown/remove it/change it to be less obnoxious
  
• make quantum bagels a gamemode/add a cooldown to them/balance them
  
• fix/remove the church map lol
  
• scoreboard/easy way to tell which team you're on
  
• add a warmup before the game starts

perhaps monetisation? cosmetics or map pack dlc? we'll see.

another thing that i'm unsure on and will most likely be subject to change is how the game looks.»

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de acceso anticipado?

«core gameplay mechanics are all there, including the movement, bagel flying, bagel throwing, quantum bagels etc. there's a lobby browser, a settings menu, 4 maps and 2 gamemodes of 1v1 and 2v2»

¿El precio del juego será diferente durante y después del acceso anticipado?

«no. at some point there may be in-game purchases to unlock more maps, or maybe cosmetics, but that's a long way off.»

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

«i will read and consider any feedback or suggestions posted on steam as well as discord.»
