Why Early Access?

“We want to build a better game experience through community feedback. Pixelate Tower Defense already has complete core gameplay (infinite wave single-player, 10-wave VS battles, 5 towers, 7 enemies, BOSS fights), but we believe player input can help us fine-tune game balance, optimize controls, and decide which content to prioritize. Early Access allows us to shape the game's final form together with players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to last 2-6 months. The actual duration depends on player feedback and completion of planned features. We won't sacrifice quality to rush—we'll adjust flexibly based on development progress and community needs.”

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

“We plan to continue improving the game during Early Access, focusing on both new content and overall polish.
Here are some of the areas we’re currently exploring:

New Content (planned):

Additional tower types (around 3–5 more)

New enemy types and variations

More card reward options

Achievement system

Leaderboard system (tracking highest wave records in single-player)

Potential new game modes

Improvements (under consideration):

Balance tuning based on player feedback

UI and UX refinements

Additional sound and visual effects

Performance optimization

Localization and translation enhancements”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently about 70-75% complete.

Completed Features:
- ✅ Full infinite wave single-player mode
- ✅ Full VS multiplayer mode (10 waves)
- ✅ 5 fully functional defense towers (Basic, Sniper, Cannon, Ice, Lightning)
- ✅ 7 enemy types + BOSS system (every 5 waves)
- ✅ Card reward upgrade system
- ✅ Procedurally generated maps
- ✅ Multi-language support (Chinese, English, Japanese)
- ✅ Complete sound system
- ✅ Cross-platform support (web and desktop)
- ✅ Idle mode

Core mechanics are fully playable. Early Access will focus on content expansion and balance tuning.”

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

“Yes, the price will increase moderately at full release. Early Access players get the game at a lower price and receive all future updates as thanks for early support. The exact increase will depend on the amount of content added, but we promise it won't exceed 50-75%.”

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

“We plan to maintain close contact with the community through multiple channels:

- Steam Forums: Regular checks and responses to feedback, suggestions, and bug reports
- Regular Dev Logs: Development progress updates every 2-4 weeks
- Community Polls: Let players vote on priority features
- Discord Server: Official Discord for real-time communication
- Beta Testing: Invite active players to test new features
- Balance Tuning: Continuous adjustments based on game data and player feedback

We believe game development should be a two-way conversation. Your input will directly influence the game's future direction!”
