Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«Apex Ascent is launching in Early Access because we believe the best platformers are shaped not just by their creators, but by the players who push their limits. While the core gameplay—tight controls, fast resets, and intense vertical platforming—is already in place, Early Access gives us the opportunity to refine, expand, and perfect the experience with your feedback.

Our goals during Early Access are to:

Fine-tune level design and difficulty balance based on how real players approach and conquer challenges

Introduce new mechanics, hazards, and environments that keep the ascent fresh and unpredictable

Optimize performance and polish controls to ensure precision platforming at every height

Build a community of climbers who can share insights, speedruns, and ideas to shape the game's future

We’re committed to keeping the updates flowing and the climb exciting. If you're up for the challenge—and want to help make Apex Ascent the best it can be—your feedback will be vital every step of the way.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«We plan to keep Apex Ascent in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months, depending on community feedback and the pace of development. This window gives us time to expand content, polish mechanics, and ensure a smooth, rewarding experience from start to summit. We'll stay transparent throughout, sharing regular updates and progress along the way.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The full version of Apex Ascent will feature more content, more polish, and more variety. While Early Access includes the core mechanics and a challenging set of handcrafted levels, the full release is planned to expand on that foundation with:

Significantly more levels with new traps, themes, and mechanics

Additional gameplay features, such as challenge modes, time trials, and leaderboard support

Refined difficulty progression based on player feedback and performance data

Expanded visual and audio polish, including enhanced effects, sound design, and environmental detail

Multiplayer support, allowing players to race, compete, or cooperate as they climb to the top

Our goal is to deliver a complete, cohesive platforming experience where every climb feels meaningful, skill-based, and satisfying—whether you're going solo or challenging your friends.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The Early Access version of Apex Ascent includes the core gameplay mechanics and a solid set of handcrafted levels designed to challenge your timing, reflexes, and precision. Players can expect:

Fully functional climbing and jumping mechanics with responsive, tight controls

A variety of hazards, including boxing gloves, spinning traps, and laser obstacles

Progressively challenging levels that test your skills and introduce new mechanics

Instant respawn system for fast retries and high-paced gameplay

A clean, stylized visual style focused on gameplay clarity

While the core experience is already fun and highly playable, features like multiplayer, additional content, and more visual polish are still in development. We're actively gathering player feedback to improve balance, add new content, and shape the direction of the full release.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«Yes, we plan to increase the price when Apex Ascent leaves Early Access. Early supporters will get access at a lower price as a thank-you for helping us shape the game. As we add more content, features (like multiplayer), and polish, we believe the final version will represent even greater value.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«Community feedback is at the heart of Apex Ascent’s Early Access journey. We’re building a game that challenges and excites players—and your input is crucial to getting it right. Here's how we plan to involve you:

Feedback channels via Steam forums, Discord, and social media to report bugs, suggest features, and discuss game balance

Regular updates with patch notes that highlight community-requested improvements and additions

Polls and surveys to help us prioritize new content, mechanics, and multiplayer features

Community challenges and speedrun events to spotlight player creativity and skill

We're committed to listening, responding, and evolving the game with you—every new version will reflect your input.»
