Why Early Access?

“"Delivery Master is a passion project built by a solo indie developer.
We're releasing in Early Access because we believe the game is playable,
polished, and fun right now — but there's a clear roadmap for more
content, more mechanics, and more polish that we want to build
alongside our community.

Early Access lets us gather real feedback from players who love
stealth games and cyberpunk atmospheres. Your input will directly
shape the direction of Delivery Master. We want to hear which
mechanics feel great, which need refinement, and what content
you want to see next.

Additionally, Early Access allows us to iterate quickly on features
like parkour movement, drone AI behaviors, and the delivery economy
based on how players actually engage with them."”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“"We estimate Delivery Master will remain in Early Access for
approximately 6 to 12 months. Our goal is to release the full
version once we've expanded the map, added planned parkour
mechanics, introduced new drone variants, and refined the game
based on community feedback.

We prefer not to rush the timeline — the game will leave Early
Access when it's ready, not before. We'll be transparent about
progress through regular update posts."”

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

“"The full version of Delivery Master is planned to include:

• EXPANDED MAP — A larger city area with multiple distinct districts,
each with unique visual identity and drone patrol patterns

• PARKOUR MOVEMENT — Wall running, ledge climbing, vaulting, and
air dashing for expanded traversal freedom

• NEW DRONE TYPES — Sniper drones, decoy drones, and heavier armored
hunter units with unique behaviors

• EXPANDED STEALTH GADGETS — Holographic decoys, hacking tools,
camera disruptors, and drone-jamming devices

• STORY CAMPAIGN — Narrative missions with named characters, dialogue,
and branching outcomes

• MULTIPLE ENDINGS — Player choices affect the city's fate

• DAILY CHALLENGES — Procedurally generated delivery missions with
leaderboards

• MOD SUPPORT — Community tools for custom maps and mission scripting

• PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS — Broader hardware support and lower-end
device compatibility

• ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES — Community-translated languages beyond the
initial 14"”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“"The current Early Access version includes:

✅ FULLY PLAYABLE CORE LOOP — Accept deliveries, sneak through the
city, deliver packages, return to base

✅ COMPLETE STEALTH SYSTEM — Patrol drones with holographic vision
cones, hunter drones that attack on sight, dynamic suspicion levels

✅ 7 EQUIPMENT ITEMS — EMP Gun, Smoke Bomb, Drone Radar, Silent Shoes,
Speed Boost, Shield Cell, Grappling Hook

✅ BASE SYSTEM — Computer for delivery offers, equipment shop,
save terminal

✅ NIGHT MAP — A hand-crafted stealth playground with rooftops,
alleys, and neon-lit main streets

✅ COMPLETE UI — Main menu, pause, settings, HUD, tutorial screens

✅ 14 LANGUAGES — Full UI localization at launch

✅ IN-GAME TUTORIAL — 6-page walkthrough of core mechanics

✅ SETTINGS — Volume, resolution, graphics quality, mouse sensitivity,
fullscreen toggle, language selector

The core stealth experience is complete and enjoyable. The delivery
economy is functional. All major systems (drone AI, equipment, base,
save/load) work as intended."”

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

“"Yes. Delivery Master will launch at a lower price during Early
Access to reward early supporters who help shape the game.

When the game leaves Early Access with its full feature set,
expanded content, and additional polish, the price will increase
to reflect the additional value.

Players who purchase during Early Access will keep the game and
receive all updates — including the full 1.0 release — at no
additional cost."”
