Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«We’re launching Shrapnel in Early Access to build it alongside our community. While the core experience is already fun , tuning and optimizng our game mode—its characters and weapons—is best done with real player feedback.

As an indie development team, our goal is to create a shooter players will love and return to for the long term. Releasing in stages allows us to listen, iterate, and improve based on how the game actually feels in your hands.

Early Access gives the community a meaningful role in helping shape Shrapnel from a solid foundation into its best possible version.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«We are currently planning for approximately two months in Early Access.

During the first month, we intend to release a lot of pure gameplay content that will be outlined in our Shrapnel Roadmap. Following that, we plan to introduce progression features such as Missions and the Battle Pass. We expect to spend additional time responding to community feedback, tuning systems, and ensuring players feel the game delivers strong value.

Depending on player feedback and development needs, the Early Access period may be extended. We will keep the community informed with regular roadmap updates and development communication throughout the process.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«First and most importantly, Early Access allows us to continuously improve the moment-to-moment feel of gameplay. Refining movement, combat flow, weapon balance, and overall responsiveness is a core focus during this phase.

Throughout Early Access, we will introduce new features and content while iterating based on player feedback.

We plan to transition to a full release once we have responded to community input, stabilized and tuned the core systems, and ensured the overall experience meets our standards for quality and long-term play.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«At the start of Early Access, Shrapnel will feature one gameplay map and one game mode. Players will have access to 2 playable Operators, each with unique Sigma Skills that specialize their playstyle.

Throughout the first month of Early Access, we plan to expand the roster with additional Operators, Sigma Skills, and weapons. Our goal is for players to have access to 5 Operators by the end of the first month.

Progression and social features, including the Battle Pass, will follow shortly, as outlined in our roadmap.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«Shrapnel will remain free-to-play during both Early Access and full release.

Optional purchases include:

Free and paid Battle Passes Cosmetic items Unlocking additional Operators (which can also be earned through Battle Pass progression) Operator progression and leveling options

The range of purchasable content will expand over time, but all core gameplay remains accessible without purchase.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«Community involvement is a core part of our Early Access plan.

We will maintain and regularly update a public Roadmap so players can clearly see what content and features are coming in the weeks ahead. Each week, we will communicate upcoming updates and let the community know what to expect.

We also plan to host scheduled play sessions where members of the community can test new content directly with the development team, allowing us to gather first-hand feedback. In addition, we will provide clear channels for written feedback and ensure the team actively reviews and responds where appropriate.

When community feedback meaningfully shifts our priorities, we will update the Roadmap to reflect those changes and keep players informed.»
