Why Early Access?

“I am a single developer that also owns a coffee shop. My dream for this game is to make it MUCH larger and lore rich with much more to do! We are building an arcade cabinet ad installing it in our coffee shop for customers to play. As I continue to draw and animate and develop new features to add to the game, I would love feedback on the game thus far to motivate me and inspire me to prioritize new things that players would like to see added.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2-5 years. If there is considerable traction and people like the game and it sells, then I can hire help. But currently, it's just me building and developing and animating all the assets. It took me a year to plan and draw and animate and code and create the base level for this early access version.”

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

“The full version is planned to have: a playable card game against a ghost, a hidden boss that requires puzzle solving, a fetch quest, at least another three enemies, a hidden NPC that boosts the player's attack, readable headstones, a character that needs help putting his body back together, a group of lonely ghosts looking for friends, and an underground tunnel that doubles as a secret dungeon prison. I want to make the mansion at the end of the level a second half of the level that will effectively DOUBLE all this and more. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A fully playable sprint from beginning to end. Destroy all zombies then get the key and destroy the necromancer before the moon swallows you whole! Collect ghost flies to give yourself extra lives during the boss battle. ”

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

“I plan to gradually raise the price as I add new content and features to the game. Early adopters get the game as is, and will get all new content for free! Those that get into the game later will need to buy it at the price I've determined to be fair for what the game is at that point.”

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

“The Pour Boy Wiki and a soon to be announced Pour Boy Discord will be the place where people can talk about the game. You can always visit the Pour Boy Coffee shop in Savannah, GA and talk to me in person!! We will be making the game into an arcade cabinet in store. ”
