Why Early Access?

“Tippy’s Quest is entering Early Access to collaborate with the community while refining and expanding upon its established foundation. The core gameplay systems, including combat, inventory, skills, and progression, are functional and stable, providing a solid framework for continued testing and iteration. Early Access will allow me to gather player feedback, fine-tune balance, improve class and world design, and shape the overall experience through community involvement. This collaborative process will help the game grow into a deeper and more rewarding adventure over time.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I approximate that the game will be in early access for 1 year.”

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

“The full version of Tippy’s Quest is planned to feature a significantly expanded world, additional playable hero classes, and a broader range of enemies and encounters. Future updates aim to introduce new regions, new enemies, and new skills that deepen the game’s progression and replayability. Visual effects, audio design, and interface elements will continue to be refined to enhance immersion and overall polish. Balancing and pacing will also be improved based on community feedback gathered throughout Early Access, shaping a more complete and cohesive gameplay experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Players can currently experience the primary gameplay loop, which includes combat, exploration, progression, and multiplayer functionality. The core systems, including inventory, skills, stats, equipment, storage, shops, combat, and leveling, are stable and integrated across all available maps.

The current build starts the players in The Dragon’s Roost, a central hub where players can visit vendors, manage storage, and select their next destination. Dimensional Portals within the inn provide access to endless wave-based survival worlds, while the front door leads to The Outlands, an open-world area that is available in an early, smaller form and continues to be a focal point of development.

At this stage, the game features five distinct enemy types, essential RPG interface elements such as a main menu, character creation, inventory, and stat screens, along with multiplayer compatibility across all environments.”

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

“No, the pricing will not change.”

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

“People can join the Discord server and become an active part of the community. People can post suggestions, bug reports, or just engage in a friendly discussion about the game.”
