Why Early Access?

“As a community-driven studio dedicated to connecting people through play, Kickback Kingdom believes that launching Spell Sniffers in Early Access is the most effective way to honor our mission. Since this is our debut title, we find it imperative to listen to and integrate community feedback throughout the entire development process, ensuring the game thrives while creating countless meaningful experiences and fun times for our players and beyond.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The timeline for Early Access is currently tentative, as our development window is shaped by active user engagement and our commitment to continuously evolving our skills as developers to ensure we are always delivering the best possible version of the experience. With an over arching goal of having this game completed in it's entirety by late 2028.”

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

“The full version of Spell Sniffers is planned to be a community-inspired evolution of the initial Early Access vision. While the core mechanics are already functional, the final release will feature a significantly expanded array of content and unique experiences. We aim to further infuse our signature physics-based tasks with the excitement of social deduction, creating a historic journey for early adopters as they watch the game grow from its foundation into a polished, community-driven experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Spell Sniffers is currently an entirely functional experience featuring a unique social dynamic and physics-based movement systems that differentiate it from other titles in the genre. While the core gameplay is fully playable, the Early Access phase is dedicated to expanding the world with even more content for you and your goblin cohorts.”

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

“Kickback Kingdom is committed to keeping our games fairly priced and accessible so that you and your friends always have an affordable way to play together. To reward the loyal fans and early adopters who help drive the future of Spell Sniffers, the game will launch at a discounted price during Early Access. While the price may increase as we add more content and approach the full release, we will always strive to ensure our pricing reflects our core value of providing a high-quality, fun experience that remains easy to buy.”

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

“The community will play a direct role in shaping the future of the game through active engagement across multiple venues. By ensuring player voices are heard, we aim to integrate feedback directly into updates and content releases, making changes that prioritize the collective enjoyment of the entire player base.
