Why Early Access?

“My goal with Hidden Nature is to make every level highly replayable and fresh each playthrough, and while each level already has a degree of replayability, I want to add much more content to each level. In order to achieve this, I've decided to put the game in early access to allow player feedback to shape what I add more of and less of.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 6 months.”

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

“In the full version, I plan to add at least one level with a unique gameplay loop while keeping to the theme of messing with your friends. I also plan to offer more replayability and variety for every early access level. I plan for this to include more songs, riddles, items, and more.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Each level is a different type of game that allows you to mess with your friends in new and unique ways, and each of the four early access levels has a finished gameplay loop and a small degree of replayability. ”

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

“No, I do not plan on increasing the price.”

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

“I strongly value player feedback and want to work with them in various ways to shape the next steps of Hidden Nature in ways that they believe will be the most fun. I plan to use your feedback to also inform the types of new content that I plan to add to the game. For example, if there is a community favorite orchestra song, then I am open to adding that to the orchestra level.
