Why Early Access?

“With Rising Star 2 on Steam, the game was continually improved regularly over the span of 2 years after release, and occasionally even to this day. I realized that the community feedback helped drive many of the great ideas that ultimately ended up in the game, but it didn't happen overnight. I'd like to take the same approach with Shady O'Grady's™ Overnight Sensation, except properly going through the "Early Access" channel this time.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“3-6 months”

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

“We plan to add more voice-over work, more collectibles, more game variations, more bosses, more random events, more achievements. Much of this will be driven by player feedback, so it's impossible to be specific at this point. As a matter of fact, Valve prevents us from being specific about plans so we're not making promises.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version includes all features listed in the game's description. The description will be updated as new features are added.”

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

“The price will remain the same during early access, though it may be put on sale from time to time as allowed by Steam.”

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

“We have an active Discord server, which is the best way to get involved in the community and provide feedback directly to the devs. Steam discussions are also a good way to get involved, though the devs visit it less often.
Player feedback is always taken into consideration, whether it's balance issues, feature ideas, or bug reports. Sometimes you may see your idea appear within days of suggestion it, other times ideas won't get implemented due to complexity or balance issues it may cause. I'm usually very good with explaining why I don't want to implement an idea.”
