Varför Early Access?

“The game has been in development for a while, and there's been a lot of demand to play it. Releasing Early Access allows us to gather feedback swiftly and help make Smackitball into what our players really want. In addition, it lets us focus on features that matter most to players.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Until April 2017.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The current version is meant to tear away the options and complications so that players can focus strictly on the gameplay. We want to hear how it feels so we can rebalance it as needed. Meanwhile, we are perfecting the multiplayer features so we can release that option when the other mechanics of the game are satisfactory to our users.

Long-term we expect to add character customization, racket options, ball options, court options, and the ability to host and join custom game modes.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The game allows you to play in two modes, "Rally" and "Arcade". Rally is for the average consumer with a appropriate sized court. Arcade is for arcade users or those who have access to a larger playspace.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Yes! When the game has more of it's intended features, we expect to sell it at up to $25.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We want to engage with the community and:

1. Invite them to participate in events and win prizes
2. Hear specific feedback about how the ball and racket feel in-game
3. Feature requests
4. Aesthetic requests and feedback
5. To learn what people want out of the Smackitball experience
