Why Early Access?

“We at Mobdog Studios are a small indie studio made up of very few people with an even smaller budget. But if there's one thing that's big, it's our... talent for creating new worlds with new ideas, which obviously demands a lot of time. We imagine that in about a year or two the game should have everything we wanted from the beginning, and when that day comes, it will leave early access. But rest assured, we won't stop updating Junk Rush because for every idea we code, 10 more ideas are born...an infinite cycle! We have complete confidence that we will be able to complete the project and deliver everything we want, plus everything that the community considers good and that doesn't violate our initial vision for Junk Rush. This game will not only keep us working on it every day but will also allow new projects to be made or even continued! We assure everyone that Mobdog Studios has 3 more games lined up to begin development, as their creative phase is over, but for that we need more budget, and that's where the magic of Junk Rush and our beloved community comes in!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are confident that the game will be ready in about one or two years, as we have all our core ideas well defined. We understand that these "core ideas" are what we want the game to have to be complete. After that, a new phase of Junk Rush will begin, it will probably be at this point that we plan the addition of mods to our game, so that when we run out of good ideas, the community can continue with theirs with total creative freedom, which may even become an official update.”

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

“We imagine the game will be something totally unique since from the beginning it already has its essence, which shouldn't change until the end, but rather increase. Simply because we already have in mind what we want for Junk Rush, but if we had to say something remarkable, it would certainly be a multiplayer mode, as this would close its cycle and be open for new phases. However, we are fully aware that there is no guarantee of this; it's just our final idea. Besides that, as Junk Rush progresses, there will always be new mechanics, items, bosses, and so on. Almost infinite content thanks to our brilliant programmer A.K.A me, who created an item system that takes 10 seconds to add a new item!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the time of writing this, the game is playable and somewhat chaotically fun. Don't expect days and days of gameplay, but a few hours of pure fun and sadism. Of course, in future versions I will come back here and update the information because the game will have changed and consequently your hours of gameplay may turn into days of gameplay.”

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

“No, never. If there's one thing we deeply detest, it's inflation. We prefer to offer the final price from the start and never change it, so that regardless of when you buy Junk Rush, you have lifetime access to all updates and the game maintains the same price as always. So, even if you forget your password and create a new account, Junk Rush will still be available to you at the same price. Not to mention that our policy states in bold: "Any paid content relevant to gameplay is considered unholy!" For us, this isn't a virtue, but common sense, any content relevant to gameplay should be free, as it should certainly be present in the game from the start, even if it's just another useless quest for a useless item. So remember that even if we add more archipelagos to the Junk Rush universe, they will be 100% free! What we might do is create Soundtrack DLC as a way to raise more funds for development, but only when the music has been refined by humans.”

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

“She is the heart of Junk Rush, pumping willpower into us developers to continue getting only 3 hours of sleep a day and a terrible diet, which is the basis for Junk Rush's development. This doesn't include illegal substances. Anyway, any idea the community has for game development, we will analyze, vote on, test, refine, and launch, even doing something that many don't recognize, but we will always honor the ideas made by our community! We even plan events where the community can talk to the devs, ask questions, share conspiracy theories, or experiences with Junk Rush! If you come with creativity and originality, you can be sure we will do it, obviously as long as it's not a crime that violates Junk Rush's laws!”
