Why Early Access?

“C4 Clicker: First Mint is built to evolve just like the fake markets it mocks. Early Access lets us drop features, balance loot, and tune progression based on real player feedback. It also gives time to polish coin drops, enemy scaling, and rare item dynamics.

We're a small team (of one), so Early Access helps ensure things grow sustainably without burning out or burning bridges. Features like additional coin sets, vault layers, and item synergies will roll out over time; ideally without causing a crash.
Don’t expect perfection. Expect patch notes.
I will be looking to the community to help mold and shape the end direction of the development.

Think of it like an IPO, it launches early, looks questionable, and might moon if you believe hard enough.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I’m aiming for 1 years of Early Access, long enough to mint more coins, fix what breaks, and keep the blockchain from collapsing. Implementing community suggestions. If it takes longer, blame the market.”

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

“The full version will include:

• A significantly expanded player terminal with more tools, commands, puzzles, and crypto-themed mini-systems
• Additional Steam item drops, rarity tiers, and special collectible sets
• More advanced live chart features (indicators, overlays, Heikin-Ashi, signals, alerts, etc.)
• Daily, weekly, and special-event reward systems
• Terminal-driven features like stacking, converting, and analyzing your Steam inventory
• More parody coins and deeper long-term progression
• Quality-of-life improvements based on community feedback

The goal is a polished, humorous, crypto-chaos clicker with a powerful terminal at its core.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All major systems listed on the Store Page are implemented.
Current features include:

• Fully functional player terminal with educational topic and mini-games.
• Working Steam item drop economy with rarity weights
• Chart display with expanding indicator support
• Achievement system, settings menu, basic auto-systems, and progression

The foundation is solid — now it’s all about expanding systems, deepening mechanics, and polishing the user experience.”

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

“The game will remain to be F2P even when no longer in early access.

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

“Utilizing the tools Steam provides such as the discussion boards for engagement.
With the community engagement we will break past current limitations. ”
