Why Early Access?

“We aim to bring Mafioso’s Dice to its maximum potential and are fully committed to supporting and developing the game throughout its Early Access journey and beyond.

Our primary goal is to build a highly replayable, competitive, and community-driven experience. Early Access is not a short-term launch strategy for us — it is a crucial development phase where we will actively gather player feedback, analyze gameplay data, and iterate on balance, content, and overall game feel.

After implementing the core mechanics, we plan to release the game in Early Access to refine and expand the experience together with our community. During this period, we will:

Continuously improve game balance and core systems

Add new roles, and game mechanics

Improve UI/UX and overall polish

Fix bugs and optimize performance

Actively communicate with players through steam discussions and respond to feedback

We are fully prepared for the long-term commitment required to complete the project. We understand that Early Access means ongoing development, transparent communication, and consistent updates. Our goal is not only to finish Mafioso’s Dice, but to shape it into the best possible version with the help of our players and deliver a complete, polished 1.0 release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning to release the full version within shorter than 1 year, but the game will remain in early access until the desired features are added and complete.”

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

“During Early Access, we plan to significantly expand both the content and core systems of the game before reaching the full 1.0 release.

Our planned additions and improvements include:

New playable roles, each with unique abilities and mechanics that introduce fresh gameplay dynamics and new bluffing possibilities.

Expanded role balance and progression systems to ensure long-term competitive viability.

Improved UI/UX and overall gameplay flow to make matches clearer, smoother, and more engaging.

Bug fixes, stability improvements, and performance optimization.

At the start of Early Access, some content and features planned for the full release will not yet be available. This includes several planned roles, extended balancing work, and overall polish. Our goal during Early Access is to implement these missing systems step by step, refine them with community feedback, and deliver a complete,and stable 1.0 version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core systems of the game are fully functional and playable. Players can experience complete matches with the current rule set, and the main gameplay loop is already implemented.

At the start of Early Access, the game currently includes:

Fully working core mechanics and match flow

Multiple playable roles, each with unique abilities and gameplay impact

Online multiplayer functionality

Basic UI and gameplay feedback systems

Core balancing systems necessary for competitive play

Players purchasing the game in its current state can expect a stable and complete core experience built around role-based strategy and bluff mechanics.

All major features currently available are described in detail in the “About This” section on the store page. Future updates during Early Access will focus on expanding content, improving balance, and polishing the overall experience toward the full 1.0 release.”

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

“Price will not change when we leave early access.”

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

“The community will play a direct and active role in shaping the direction of the game throughout Early Access.

We plan to gather feedback through multiple channels, including posts shared on our social media platforms, where players can share suggestions, criticism, and ideas. In addition, we will host live streams to observe real-time player reactions, analyze gameplay behavior, and take direct development notes based on what we see and hear.

Player feedback will influence:

Game balance adjustments

Role reworks and new role ideas

Quality-of-life improvements

UI/UX changes and clarity improvements

Our preferred communication channels will be social media and live broadcasts, where interaction is immediate and transparent.We will also open community discussions on the Steam Discussion section where players can easily drop their feedback. We are committed to actively listening, responding to feedback, and clearly communicating upcoming changes. The goal of Early Access is to build the game together with the community and allow player input to meaningfully impact the final 1.0 release.”
