Why Early Access?

“We are choosing Early Access because we want to involve players in the final stretch of development. As a 15-person student team, gathering direct feedback from a broader community is crucial. It will help us fine-tune the core mechanics, identify edge-case bugs, and ensure our upcoming visual and tutorial updates land effectively before our official 1.0 launch.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning for a very short Early Access period. Our current target is to push the full 1.0 release by the end of May.”

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

“The core gameplay experience is already implemented. For the full version, we plan to roll out significant visual updates and environmental polish. We also intend to implement an improved tutorialization system to make onboarding smoother for new players, alongside general bug fixes and optimizations.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and features our core mechanics, but it is still actively in development. We are currently right in the middle of overhauling the game with major visual updates, so players may notice some placeholder assets or rough edges that will be smoothed out leading up to the final release.”

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

“No, eXSert is completely free to play right now and will remain free when it leaves Early Access.”

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

“We would love to get as much feedback as possible! We will be actively monitoring our Steam Community Hub and our Discord server to listen to player experiences and gather bug reports. Feedback from the community will be taken into consideration for adjustments made during the Early Access period, especially regarding our visual updates and tutorial improvements as we sprint toward the final release.”
