Wozu Early Access?

„We are a two person team building Death Dealer, and Early Access lets us shape the game with players from the start.

The core loop is already playable, and we want to refine and improve the experience based on real player feedback.

Death Dealer is built around unpredictable multiplayer moments, and those only come to life properly with a community.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We expect Death Dealer to be in Early Access for around 18 months, though this may change as development progresses and we respond to player feedback.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The full version is planned to expand on the Early Access build with more level content, weapons, character cosmetics, and gameplay variations.

We also aim to fix bugs and refine balance, design, and difficulty to deliver a more complete and polished experience.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version includes the full core gameplay loop. Players can play the card game, earn chips, use the slot machine, and take part in the hunt phase.

The game is fully playable and designed for multiplayer sessions, with ongoing improvements to balance, variety, and overall polish throughout Early Access.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Yes. We plan to offer Death Dealer at a lower price during Early Access.

As new content, features, and polish are added, the price will increase when the game reaches version 1.0.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We plan to involve the community throughout Early Access by actively listening to feedback and observing how players interact with the game.

As a small team, community input will have a direct impact on development. This includes:
• Gameplay balance and pacing during both the card phase and hunt phase
• Feedback on readability, clarity, and overall player experience
• Identifying what creates the most fun, tension, and replayability
• Highlighting issues, bugs, and areas that need improvement

We will gather feedback through:
• Steam forums and discussions
• Community playtests
• A Discord server where players can share feedback and ideas
• Direct interaction with players during development

We will regularly review feedback and use it to guide updates, prioritise improvements, and shape the direction of the game as it evolves.“
