Why Early Access?

“I've got more cool ideas for Ball Fall than I have time to implement before release :)

The Early Access format allows me to incorporate players' feedback and suggestions as I add in more content and explore the game's playspace. I've used Early Access for another game (Moondrop), and that game successfully reached its 1.0 release and left Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for 6 - 12 months.”

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

“The full version will have additional dungeon levels (including a two-headed fire- and ice-breathing dragon), additional starting kits for all characters, more gods to pray to, more enemies, and more items. There will be an enchanting system and a way to gain allies and monsters to fight on your team.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All of the systems are coded and in place. The bones are there, but I'll need time (and feedback!) to fine tune the systems.”

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

“I plan to increase the price on leaving Early Access.”

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

“I'm one person, so I've got my own views on what's cool about Ball, Fall, Dungeon Crawl. Opening the game up for Early Access means that other people can tell me what they find cool about the game, and then I can make more of that cool stuff.

If I didn't get that feedback and I kept on developing the game on my own, I could only focus on the stuff I think is cool. I want to use EA to ship more content, but also to steer the direction of the game and give players a voice in its journey.”
