Why Early Access?

“BAENANA is already fully playable, but we want to take the time to expand its content, improve its systems, and refine the overall experience based on real player feedback. Early Access gives us the opportunity to add more characters, items, enemies, and features while ensuring the game remains stable, balanced, and fun. Community impressions will help shape the final version and guide improvements in gameplay, performance, and UI.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for at least 12 months, with the possibility of extending the timeline depending on how quickly new features can be implemented and how much feedback we receive from players.”

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

“The full version of BAENANA is planned to offer significantly more content and polish than the Early Access release. We intend to expand the roster from 8 to 15 playable characters, add more items and weapons, introduce additional enemy types, and improve the enemy AI to create more dynamic encounters. We also plan to implement full gamepad support, add Steam achievements, and continue working on performance optimizations, UI enhancements, and general balancing and bug fixing. Our goal is to deliver a richer, smoother, and more complete experience by the time the game leaves Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and already includes 8 unique characters, around 55 items, and over 30 weapons. The core gameplay loop is complete, with multiple waves of enemies, progression through item collection, and a functioning shop system between waves. While the game is stable and enjoyable, it is still being expanded and refined, and there may be areas that benefit from further balancing, optimization, and polish.”

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

“We expect the price to increase after Early Access as the game grows in content, features, and overall quality. The Early Access price reflects the current scope, and the final release will be priced according to the expanded amount of content and improvements added during development.”

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

“While we are not running a structured community program, we will actively read player comments, reviews, and discussions. Feedback about bugs, balance, or new ideas will directly influence updates, and we will address issues as quickly as possible. Community input will help guide improvements throughout Early Access.”
