Why Early Access?

“DeathCrank is already a blast to play, both local and online multiplayer. Our aim by releasing Early Access is to allow our players to give us feedback as to which weapons, items, game modes, and maps are the MOST fun so we can focus on releasing the full game with TONS of content geared towards our players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2 months.”

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

“We already have 5 game modes (two more planned) as well as 14 weapons and powerups to use to decimate your enemies, but that can always be improved. We want to fine tune the gameplay based on feedback to give the best overall experience. Currently, our matchmaking uses random matchups, and we'd like to take the next couple of months to integrate more Steamworks aspects to allow for better matchmaking and achievements. Finally, we need to create many more maps to battle on; however the maps will be tuned to take full advantage of the weapons and game modes that our players want us to focus on.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It is currently a local and online multiplayer vehicle combat game with up to 8 players local or online in a single game (shared screen). The game is fully playable, is just missing UI polish, matchmaking and achievements, and a variety of maps.”

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

“No.”

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

“We are looking very much forward to receiving comments on the game through Steam itself, however our main focus is by leveraging the power of Twitch.TV - we have a partnered channel with thousands of followers and use the platform heavily as a means to promote our games and engage our players.”
