Varför Early Access?

“Botwave: Overclock is a system-driven roguelike survival game where balance, pacing, and difficulty scaling are a big part of the experience. Early Access allows me to release a solid playable version while continuing to improve the game based on real player feedback.

I want the community to help shape things like progression pacing, weapon/item balance, and overall run variety as the game grows with more content and updates.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“I expect Botwave: Overclock to remain in Early Access for around 6–12 months, depending on feedback and development progress.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The full version is planned to include more overall content and variety compared to Early Access, such as:

Additional waves and enemy types

More bosses and encounter variety

More playable characters and build options

Expanded meta-progression and unlocks

More upgrades, items, and progression depth

Ongoing improvements to balance, UI, and overall polish

The goal is for the full release to feel like a larger, more complete experience with more replayability and long-term progression.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and includes the core gameplay loop: surviving waves of enemies, building your loadout, and using the Overclock + Heat risk/reward systems to push your build further.

It already contains multiple upgrades and progression mechanics, and it will continue to receive updates focused on:

Content expansion (enemies, waves, bosses, and characters)

Balance tuning and difficulty pacing

UI/UX improvements and quality-of-life updates

Bug fixes and performance optimization”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“I'm not planning on changing the price during Early Access. I may increase the price after Early Access as major content and features are added.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“Community feedback will be a big part of development during Early Access. I plan to gather feedback through:

Steam Community discussions and comments

Player suggestions and bug reports

Regular updates with patch notes and balance changes

Iterating on gameplay pacing, difficulty, and progression based on player experience

I’ll be actively reading feedback and using it to guide updates and improvements throughout Early Access.”
