Why Early Access?

“We want players to help shape competitive race balance, track design, and the way individual and team competitions fit together. Local split-screen multiplayer and cooperative team racing are already playable. Our goal is to enter Early Access with a polished, replayable game, then use real player feedback to refine controls, physics, presentation and multiplayer stability, and guide further content and balancing.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We have not set a reliable duration yet and cannot give a meaningful estimate today. We are continuing to refine gameplay, content and multiplayer stability, including testing online play with Steam friends. We will update this answer as development and player feedback give us a clearer schedule.”

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

“We plan to expand track variety, challenges and cosmetic options, and refine race balance, performance, presentation and multiplayer with player feedback. We intend the core modes advertised for the Early Access launch to work at launch; they are not being presented as features customers must wait for after buying. The exact content of the launch build will be listed before release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Rollout Rally has not yet launched in Early Access and is not currently available to purchase.

Our current playable development build already includes single-player racing, local split-screen multiplayer for up to four human players simultaneously on one PC, LAN multiplayer, cooperative and competitive team gameplay, CPU-controlled opponents, and six-marble races. Multiplayer races support up to six players; this does not raise the four-person same-PC split-screen limit. CPU racers automatically fill unused racer positions.

The implemented 3v3 team mode divides six marbles into two teams of three competing for a shared team result. Three human players can cooperate against three CPU opponents. With four local players, each team can contain two human players and one CPU racer.

Players can steer, brake, boost, and choose Pulse or Shield before racing. The build also includes racing cameras, live positions, timing systems and a separate physics-based spectator mode without direct player control.

Our existing Steam trailer contains actual in-game split-screen footage captured directly from the development build.

Online multiplayer with Steam friends has been implemented and is currently undergoing testing and refinement. It is separate from LAN and same-PC split-screen, and has not yet been validated for public release.

We are continuing to improve gameplay balance, performance, track content, multiplayer stability and the overall player experience ahead of release.”

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

“We have not finalized pricing or decided whether it will change between Early Access and the full release. We will communicate the pricing policy before the Early Access launch.”

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

“We plan to use Steam Community discussions and development updates to gather feedback on controls, controller usability, race readability, track design, local co-op, split-screen usability, multiplayer balance and team racing balance. We will explain which feedback is shaping our priorities and share the progress of those changes.”
