Why Early Access?

“Because the premise of the game is for players to decide its future with every update. Since the game will just be a blank slate with a button, Early Access allows us to set expectations and answer the question "Is this a Game yet?" with "No" in the beginning.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Given the nature of the game, it is difficult to estimate how quickly the game will evolve because it heavily depends on the players design choices. I would like stay in Early Access until the majority can answer the question "Is this a Game yet?" with a satisfied "Yes". If I had to give an estimate I would like to believe that the game will start feeling like a standalone experience in about 3-6 months. However, I want to emphasize that the development journey, even during Early Access, is quite literally a part of the game.”

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

“This is an impossible question to answer due to the unique premise of the game. Players design every update with their submissions on the leaderboard. By the time we leave Early Access it might be a platformer, a story-driven horror game, a top-down cozy farming simulator, or an action roguelike. No one could predict the outcome. Every update shapes a new experience directed by the players. But no matter where we end up, the full version is planned to be a feature-complete game that can stand on its own, although the game might still drastically change even after Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A blank slate with just a button that makes a number go up, a submission screen with some guidelines for players to define their design directive, and a global online leaderboard with an upvote system to decide which ideas should make it into the next update.”

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

“Yes. As the game evolves, the price will increase accordingly. However, there are no plans for paid DLC, so your initial purchase includes all future updates. The final price will also stay on the lower end, given that it is still a solo dev indie project.”

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

“The entire premise of the game is that players decide everything the game will be with every update. On top of that it will be developed live on stream, so players can give real-time feedback on everything.”
