Why Early Access?

“We believe Early Access is the best way to grow Build in 5 Minutes alongside the community. The core idea — building maps in just 5 minutes and then challenging friends — is already fun, but we want player feedback to guide what tools, features, and modes we should expand on. Early Access will allow us to test new mechanics, improve balance, and build a strong community around shared creations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for about 6–12 months, depending on player feedback and development progress. This timeframe gives us room to polish core systems and add meaningful community-driven features.”

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

“We plan to the Early Access version to focus on the main sandbox building and challenge loop. For the full release, we plan to expand building tools, introduce more customization options, add new game modes (such as timed challenges or themed events).”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is already fully playable in its core form: players have 5 minutes to build a map, then swap roles with friends to play each other’s creations. Sandbox tools are included, and community map-sharing is available in an early state. We plan to add new contents as development continues.”

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

“We plan to keep the price the same throughout Early Access and after full release. Our focus is on building a strong player base and community first.”

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

“Community feedback will play a big role in shaping the game. We plan to actively engage with players through Steam discussions and community channels, gather suggestions for new tools and modes, and prioritize updates based on what players find most fun. Players will also contribute by sharing their own maps, which will inspire the direction of future development.”
