Why Early Access?

“We believe 'My Name Is Vincent Pogo' is the kind of game that will succeed with more community input than with less. Because the pogo stick is fully physics-driven, player feedback is invaluable in fine-tuning the feel, balance, and challenge of the game.

By releasing in Early Access, we can listen to what works (and what doesn’t), and ensure that the final version is both challenging and rewarding for as many people as possible. It gives us the chance to share a fun, playable core experience sooner than later without much care for the story.

We are a team of 3 developers. Funding our development by getting our game in Early Access gives us the ability to add in more features and polish the game to a higher standard for release. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“A year at most but we will put in as much time as there needs to be in order to consider the game feature complete for release.”

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

“The game consists of 5 main areas that the player can explore. We would be aiming to have a majority of that content complete, however we would use the early access time to ensure that we could polish polish the game to a high standard. Any additional features we would add would include localization, achievements, cloud saves, multiplayer, and possibly looking into releasing it outside of Steam on other platforms.
There will be no DLC.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are nearing completion of the 2 of the 5 areas but have progress on the remaining 3. We would be in a good place to release into Early Access in 2026.”

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

“Yes, we would have both an early access price that would reflect the unfinished state of the game, and a final released cost that will not change after release.”

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

“We want to iterate on the core experience and ensure that we are collaborating with players to ensure that we are including features and quality of life improvements to make the game as fun and accessible to people as possible.”
