What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to build EXPLODES together with our community. The game is fully playable right now with single player, local multiplayer, and online modes, but we have big plans for new weapons, maps, and features. Early Access lets us get real player feedback to shape the game's direction.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access for approximately 6-12 months.”

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

“We plan to add more weapons, more maps, more character customization options, ranked online matchmaking, and improved netcode. We also plan to expand the progression system with new unlockables and challenges. The core gameplay is already solid, Early Access is about expanding and polishing.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable with 15 weapons, 10 maps, 5 AI difficulty levels, online and local multiplayer, a 60-level progression system, a shop, character customization, and a friends system. You can play hundreds of hours right now.”

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

“EXPLODES is free to play and we plan to keep it free to play after leaving Early Access.”

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

“We actively take feedback through our Discord server and Steam discussions. Players can suggest new weapons, maps, and features. We regularly update the game based on community input and bug reports.”
