Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, I’ve gathered feedback mostly through game jams and conventions, but now I want to open the door to a wider community. Early Access lets players experience the game early and share feedback that directly shapes its final form. My goal is to listen, improve, and evolve the gameplay based on real player experiences so the full launch delivers the best possible version of the game. The full release will include the remaining 6-8 environment sets, plus continued weapon and tower balance tuning based on player feedback from this Early Access period. The core gameplay loop is not expected to change.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect to be in Early Access for exactly 2 months, October 28, 2026. My goal is to use this short window to gather player feedback on weapon and tower balance while I finishing the roll out of the environment sets, currently just a few are available but each week I will be adding more. The full release is planned for a few days before Halloween, giving the game room to breathe before the holiday rush. That timeline gives me enough space to refine content, respond to feedback, and add a few surprise updates leading up to launch.”

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

“The full version will feature all planned levels, weapons, and bosses, plus cinematic story moments that reveal the darker lore behind the world and its characters. Expect more polish, balance tweaks, visual improvements, and an overall smoother gameplay experience shaped by community feedback from Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core game is complete: a full roster of enemies, a full arsenal of guns, tower, and 50 upgrade cards, full audio and visual effects are all in and playable. 2 of a planned 8-10 environment sets are live at launch, with the rest releasing as free updates over the next several weeks.”

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

“Yes, the Early Access version will be slightly cheaper, as a thank-you to early supporters who help shape development. The final release will increase by a few dollars once all features and content are complete.”

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

“Community feedback will guide the rest of development. I’ve set up a Discord server where players can report bugs, share suggestions, and discuss ideas directly with me. I’m also active on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, posting daily updates. Every comment helps me prioritize improvements; Early Access will be a true collaboration with the players.”
