Miksi Early Access?

MADHOUSE is a solo indie project with a massive scope. I’m using Early Access to build a multiplayer community -- since the 4-player versus mode is a core feature -- gather feedback, and continue developing new content over time. My goal is to provide episodic story updates and add to the versus mode with new characters and stages as development progresses. Join the journey as I bring this story to life!

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

From the Early Access launch in October 2025, I estimate the game will be in Early Access for approximately 2 to 3 years, aiming for a full release around 2027 or 2028. However, this timeline may adjust based on development progress and community feedback.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

MADHOUSE’s full version is planned to expand both its single-player story mode and 4-player local versus mode. I aim to significantly grow the story mode, potentially doubling or tripling the content featured in Early Access, with more areas to explore, additional enemies to defeat, and deeper story elements to uncover. For the versus mode, my goal is to include a variety of play modes, expand the roster of playable characters with unique abilities, and introduce new stages that are thematically inspired by the story mode but designed distinctly for multiplayer. The exact scope of these additions will depend on development progress and player feedback.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access version, launching in October 2025, includes the first arc of the single-player story mode with significantly more content than the demo—at least twice as much to explore. The versus mode currently offers 5 modes of play, a starting roster of 12 characters, 5 stages, and over 35 weapons, providing a solid foundation for multiplayer fun.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

The Early Access version is priced low to encourage player engagement. I plan to gradually increase the price as development progresses and new content is added, aiming for a final price that reflects the full game’s value while remaining reasonable. Join Early Access at a lower price and support MADHOUSE’s journey as it grows!

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

I’m building a community of active players to help refine MADHOUSE! Join our Discord or Steam forums to arrange versus mode play sessions via Remote Play and share feedback on both story and multiplayer modes. I value your thoughts and plan to use them to enhance the experience as I continue developing the game.
