Miksi Early Access?

Batak is a game shaped by its players. We want the community involved early to help us tune AI balance, improve the online experience, and decide which features matter most. Early Access lets us develop Batak together with the players who love it.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We plan to be in Early Access for up to one year.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

We plan to add:
- Steam leaderboards
- Player trinkets and table decorations
- Additional visual themes (steampunk, garden, space, and more)
- Card and table cosmetics (custom card designs, table themes, card effects)
- Continued AI balancing and improvements
- UI and visual polish based on player feedback

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The core game is fully playable. Both Classic Batak and Partnership Batak are complete with full rules, bidding, trump selection, and scoring. Single player works with 3 AI difficulty levels. Online multiplayer supports 1-4 players via Steam with public and friend-only lobbies and AI backfill. The game includes couple of achievements, localization, and a polished interface.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

No. Batak is free to play and we plan to keep it that way.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We actively monitor Steam Discussions and our Discord server. Player feedback directly influences our development priorities from AI difficulty tuning to new features. Bug reports, feature requests, and balance suggestions are all welcome and taken seriously.
