Why Early Access?

“Through the Nest's core gameplay is complete - 3 characters, meta-progression, boss battles, and endlessly replayable 15-minute runs are ready. We chose Early Access because we want to shape the game together with our players' feedback. Hearing the community's voice on balancing, new content priorities, and additional features will make the game better.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 8-10 months. Our full release target is Summer/Fall 2026. During this time, we'll evaluate player feedback, expand content, and optimize the game.”

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

“We plan to bring more variety to the game in the full version, based on player feedback and development progress.
Planned areas of expansion include:

New characters with unique playstyles

An expanded enemy pool with more types and variations

Additional boss encounters and mechanics

A broader skill and upgrade pool

More map and arena variations

A quest and achievement system

A deeper meta-progression layer

Further optimization and polish

Additional features inspired by community feedback

Our goal is to evolve the experience so that each run feels increasingly unique and replayable, but all plans may change depending on development needs and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable with completed core systems:

- 3 unique characters - each with different playstyles (Tank, Striker, Reaper)
- Comprehensive meta-progression system - permanent growth with DNA and Chip upgrades
- 10+ different enemy types + elite variants
- Challenging boss encounters
- Companion system (Drone/Droid allies)
- Challenge zone mechanics
- Upgrade card system
- Full save/load support
- English and Turkish language options

Each run lasts 15 minutes and ends with a boss battle. After death, you permanently strengthen your character with earned resources.”

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

“Yes, the game's price will gradually increase as we add content. Players who join Early Access early will get the most advantageous price. The price will reach its final point when the full version releases. We want to reward our Early Access supporters and encourage them to contribute to the game's development.”

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

“We plan to actively communicate with the community:

- Direct feedback and discussions through our Discord server
- Regular updates and polls on our social media accounts
- Bug reports and suggestions via our official website
- Steam discussion forums

Every feedback from players will be evaluated. Community opinions on which features should be prioritized, balancing issues, and new content ideas will shape the game's development direction. Our goal is to create a game we develop together with the players.”
