Kenapa harus Akses Dini?

“Spheromania is a fast-paced arena shooter where movement, energy management, and chaotic physics interactions are the heart of the experience. Because the game heavily depends on balance, feel, and community-driven iteration, Early Access gives me the ability to fine-tune the gameplay with real player feedback.

The core systems energy-as-health, momentum-based movement, AI personalities, and shrinking arena mechanics are deeply interconnected. Early Access helps ensure these systems evolve in the right direction before expanding the game with additional content.
I want to build this together with the players who enjoy quick, competitive, physics-based arena games and want to influence how the arenas, abilities, modes, and progression take shape.

Early Access is also a commitment: continuous updates, frequent balancing passes, new features, and a transparent development process. The game will grow with the community’s input.”

This timeline provides enough room for:
• meaningful player feedback
• balancing the combat and energy system
• adding new arenas, AI drones, upgrades, and multiplayer features

Apakah harga game akan berbeda selama dan setelah Akses Dini?

“Yes.
The Early Access version will be offered at a lower introductory price, as a thank-you to early supporters who help shape the game.
As new content, modes, and features are added, the price will increase toward the final release.

This approach rewards early players for joining development early and giving feedback while still feeling fair for future buyers.”

Seperti apakah rencana untuk melibatkan Komunitas dalam proses pengembangan?

- Player Feedback Channels
• Steam Discussions
• In-game feedback option (planned)
• Discord server
• Occasional polls & surveys
• Social media updates & patch notes

- How Players Can Influence Development
• Vote on new arena ideas
• Suggest new drone personalities/abilities
• Help balance movement, energy costs, and weapons
• Report bugs and performance issues

Spheromania is meant to grow with its players, and Early Access is the best way to build something fun, polished, and replayable together.”
