Why Early Access?

“Polygon War is a 2D comic-style action game with Roguelike elements, featuring a deep weapon system, temperature mechanics, and Gear Combo synergies. I want to use Early Access to gather player feedback while the core gameplay is already complete and playable. Player input will directly shape the iteration of weapon design, enemy variety, round pacing, and UI interactions as I work toward the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect Early Access to last approximately 6-12 months. The actual duration will depend on the volume of community feedback and the pace of new content development.”

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

“The full version is planned to include the following additions over the Early Access version:
More weapons and equipment: Significant expansion beyond the current 28 items (23 weapons + 3 cores + 2 shields)
More enemy types: New enemy variants and bosses beyond the current 3 types (Triangle, Square, Pentagon)
Deeper Gear Combo system: More weapon synergy combinations and visual effects
More upgrade options: Expanded upgrade pool beyond the current 25 choices
More language support: Additional languages beyond the current Chinese and English
Polished audio and music
Performance optimization and bug fixes”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes a complete core gameplay experience:
3 playable polygon types (Triangle, Square, Pentagon), each with unique attributes
28 equippable items spanning melee weapons, guns, throwables, sprayers, injectors, cores, and shields
3 material types (Metal, Glass, Plastic) affecting temperature threshold effects
Full temperature system with Burning, Normal, Chilled, and Frozen states
Gear Combo system providing various visual effects and stat buffs
15-round survival mode with progressive difficulty across 3 difficulty settings
Between-round upgrade and weapon purchasing system
Gamepad and keyboard/mouse support
Chinese and English localization
The game is fully playable from start to finish with no critical blocking bugs”

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

“I plan to offer the game at a lower price during Early Access. The price may increase as more content is added toward the full release. I encourage interested players to purchase during Early Access at the more affordable price.”

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

“Steam Community Hub: I will actively participate in Steam discussions, responding to player feedback and suggestions
Patch notes: Detailed changelogs will accompany every update to keep players informed of development progress
Polls and surveys: Player input will be sought at key decision points, such as new weapon types or enemy designs”
