Miksi Early Access?

As a solo dev working on an ambitious project, I rely heavily on community feedback to guide the game's direction and avoid tunnel vision.

Although I have a strong foundation for what Multiverse Idle will be, Early Access provides an opportunity for players to tell me whether or not a new feature is actually fun, how much they like / dislike the new characters, and what changes could make the game even better.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

EA duration depends on the final list of content, but I estimate it will take at least 8 months before a 1.0 will be available with the polish, quality, and features that I'm currently aiming for.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The beginning gameplay loop is available now with: training and upgrades, battling, inventory / artifacts, multiple maps and enemies, ally system, and player skills.

For the full version, I plan to add more content (new maps, enemies, allies, skills, artifacts) as well as new features (including a prestige system with meta-bonuses, achievements, and different battle modes).

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The current loop lets players:
-Train to improve stats and secondary stats
-Choose from multiple areas to battle enemies and earn currency / artifacts
-Unlock and upgrade: combat skills, new ways to train, automation features, passive bonuses
-Recruit and upgrade allies, each with their own bonuses and unique in-battle benefits

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

The game will be free to play and will remain so on full release.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Discord and the Steam forums will be the two major channels for me to interact with players.

As a solo dev, I may not have the ability to reply to every single comment, but I'm always keeping an eye on the community and appreciate all feedback and suggestions.
