Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows the game to be developed alongside real player behavior rather than isolated testing. The core gameplay loop is already established, but systems like balance, pacing, AI behavior, and progression benefit significantly from observing how players actually engage with them over time.

Releasing in Early Access makes it possible to iterate quickly, validate design decisions, and adjust systems based on feedback and live data while keeping the foundation stable and playable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for roughly 12–24 months.

This timeframe allows core systems, balance, progression, and content pipelines to mature through real player feedback and live iteration. Development will remain active throughout Early Access, and the timeline may shift as systems evolve and the scope becomes clearer, but the goal is a stable, well-tested foundation before full release.”

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

“We plan to expand the game over time with additional content, systems, and refinements based on player feedback and live testing. This may include new environments, deeper AI behavior, expanded progression systems, and broader tuning of gameplay flow and balance.

The focus is on iterating toward a more cohesive, reactive experience while preserving the fast, abstract core of the current build.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and features a complete core gameplay loop, functional AI, and support for both built-in and custom music tracks. Players can engage in full matches, experiment with the game’s reactive systems, and experience how gameplay responds to different music and play styles.

While the core experience is stable, some systems are still being refined. Balance, progression tuning, and certain behaviors may change over time as feedback is incorporated and systems are iterated.”

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

“The game will be priced lower during Early Access.

As development progresses and the project becomes more complete, the price is expected to increase. Players who purchase during Early Access will retain access to all updates at no additional cost.

The goal is to keep entry accessible early while reflecting the game’s growth over time.”

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

“Community feedback directly shapes development priorities and design direction.

Players will be able to engage through an official Discord server, where they can report issues, suggest features, vote on ideas, and participate in discussions about balance, mechanics, and systems. Feedback from live gameplay data and community input will guide iteration, tuning, and future updates.

Modding support and community-created content are also part of the long-term vision, allowing players to actively contribute to the ecosystem rather than just consume updates.”
