Why Early Access?

“The game is in Eearly Access because, as a solo developer, I need your support and feedback at the earliest possible stage. This allows me to quickly address player suggestions, refine core mechanics, and add new features before the full release. Eearly Access also helps me optimize performance and catch bugs across a variety of hardware configurations. By joining now, you become an integral part of the development process and help refine KEYTRON every step of the way.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I anticipate that Early Access will last roughly 12 to 18 months, giving me time to gather feedback, refine mechanics, and add content before the full release.”

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

“Planned expansions in the full version:
New game modes
- Expanded campaign with diverse challenges and unique objectives at each stage.
Competition with other players
- Online and local multiplayer mode to face off against friends or random opponents.
Improved visual effects
- Enhanced animations, neon glows and particle bursts.
Leaderboards
- Global and friends-only rankings, weekly challenges, and a rewards system for achievements.
The full version will be shaped by Early Access feedback and how the game is received, without promising a specific release date or guaranteeing implementation of every planned feature.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Core gameplay
Fast typing-shooter mechanic where you type words to destroy incoming targets.
Text Typing Mode – measures your WPM and features a countdown timer; detailed stats are shown at the end.
Word Shooting Mode – incoming words are shot down by typing them correctly.
Scoring & Stats
Tracks correct words per minute and overall score, with a post-game summary.
Preliminary visual & audio effects
Neon outlines, simple hit animations, and basic shooting/success sounds.
At this stage, I’m focused on stability, bug fixes, and gathering your feedback to refine the core mechanics.”

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

“During Early Access, the price will remain at a promotional, reduced level—a token of thanks for your early support. As new modes and content are added, I may gradually increase the price. After the official full release, the price will likely rise to its final level, reflecting the complete content and quality of the game.”

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

“I will set up an official Discord server where the community can take part in regular surveys and polls that will directly influence the game’s development direction.”
