Why Early Access?

“Wondernauts has a large world to build — 20+ biomes, dozens of enemies, branching routes, and a full co-op campaign — and we want players involved in shaping how it grows. Early Access lets us get real feedback on level design, difficulty, co-op balance, and which biomes and mechanics are the most fun, so we can prioritize what matters most to the people actually playing.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

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

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

“We plan to add more biomes, more levels per biome, additional Controller bosses, more Wonder Rift variations, expanded Wonder Badge loadouts, more enemy types, additional story and dialogue content, audio polish, and quality-of-life improvements based on player feedback. The core platforming, co-op, and rift mechanics are already in place.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable with working 1-4 player local co-op, tight platforming controls, multiple biomes with generated levels, enemy encounters, Controller bosses, Wonder Rifts, 19 playable characters, and save/load support. Some biomes and story content are still in progress, and balance tuning is ongoing.”

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

“ We plan to gradually raise the price as we add significant new content and features. Players who buy during Early Access will always have access to the full game at no additional cost.”

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

“ We plan to use Steam Community discussions, development update posts, and direct feedback channels to involve players in shaping the game. We're especially interested in feedback on level difficulty, co-op balance, biome variety, and which mechanics feel the most fun. Player reports and suggestions will directly influence our development priorities.”
