Proč předběžný přístup?

„This game has been in solo-development for 17 months.

Completing the first Act took the longest: building the core systems, establishing the formula, learning the tools. Completing the remaining Acts (2-4) are now about execution and level design, and working on a few more sub-systems to finalize the full game experience.

Early Access makes finishing the game sustainable while getting your feedback to shape the final game. You're supporting active development and influencing direction.

If you want a complete experience, wishlist and please wait for 1.0. If you want to be part of the journey and don't mind rough edges, jump in now.“

Přibližně jak dlouho bude tato hra v předběžném přístupu?

„Approximately 12-15 months.

The first Act took 17 months because I was building all the core systems and learning which systems that I had in mind work well for the game and what doesn't. Now with most of the game's systems complete, I estimate 3 months per remaining Act (9 months total for Acts 2-4), then 3-6 months for additional difficulty modes and final polish.“

Jak se bude plná verze lišit od předběžného přístupu?

„The full version is planned to have:

- 16-level campaign (currently only 4 levels in EA)
- 3 difficulty modes: Normal, Difficult, Extreme (currently only Normal mode in EA)
- Additional heroes, towers, and equipment
- Full balance pass and polish
- All content complete with no placeholders“

V jaké fázi vývoje se hra nachází?

„The game's core gameplay loop is complete and functional. It currently includes:

- 4 playable campaign levels (Act 1)
- 1 hero with starting ability set
- 3 starting tower types
- 15 battle effect power-ups/abilities
- RPG style hero level progression and equipment crafting systems

This is active development. Expect some rough edges, balance adjustments, and regular content updates.“

Změní se cena hry po skončení předběžného přístupu?

„Yes. Early Access price may gradually increase as new content and features are added, with full release priced higher to reflect the complete experience.“

Jak plánujete zapojit komunitu do vývoje této hry?

„Any changes to the game's features or balance will be heavily influenced by player feedback. As a solo dev, I hope to build Decimation with and for the game's community.

Influence features: Vote or suggest changes to tower balance, hero abilities, battle effects or equipment via Discord polls.
Balance adjustments: I adjust anything the community finds too weak, too strong, or unfair.
Level design: Difficulty and pacing refined based on your feedback.

Communication Channels:

Please feel free to share your feedback or thoughts about Decimation through the game's Community Hub on Steam or through the game's official Discord.

My Commitment:
I read all community posts, reviews, and messages. As a solo developer, I balance responding to feedback with active development. Critical bugs take priority, and I respond to questions and suggestions as soon as I can, as time allows. I appreciate your patience during busy development periods.

What I Need:

"This tower/hero/battle effect/equipment module feels too weak/strong" feedback
Difficulty and pacing experiences
Which content you want to see next
Any bugs or issues you encounter“
