Why Early Access?

“Early Access fits great to our game concept. It will enable us to expand and polish the game based on real feedbacks alongside players especially on areas that would require player inputs like game balance and quality of life features. Players would also be able to experience the game in its early stage and influence how it grows. (and we can't pay rent so there really isn't much of a choice)”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Plinko Dungeon to be in Early Access for roughly 3 to 6 months. This gives us time to roll out new characters, additional maps and monsters, and the multiplayer mode in stages, while polishing balance and stability before the 1.0 release.”

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

“The full version will significantly expand on the Early Access build. Planned additions include:

More playable characters, each with their own signature magic attacks, animations and playstyle, opening up new build directions.
More maps, each with their own themed monsters, bosses, and hazards to fight through.
Multiplayer — play Plinko Dungeon together with friends.
More spells, items, and meta progression built on the systems already in the game.
Ongoing balance, content, and quality-of-life improvements driven by player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is a fully playable with a complete core loop. It currently includes:

The full orb-drop magic apparatus driving real-time combat
Over a dozen of spells across 6 elements, each with upgrade paths and evolved forms
30+ monster types across multiple enemy families, including elites and bosses
16 items
meta-progression and 40 achievements that unlock advanced spells
A starting character with own signature attacks
Single-player on Windows”

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

“Yes. Plinko Dungeon will launch at a lower Early Access price as a thank-you to our earliest supporters. As we add new characters, maps, and multiplayer, the price will likely increase toward the 1.0 release. And of course, anyone who buys during Early Access keeps the game and all updates at no extra cost.”

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

“Community feedback is central to how we'll develop Plinko Dungeon. We'll:

Read and respond to feedback in the Steam Community Hub and discussions
Use player input to guide balance changes, new spell and item design, and quality-of-life improvements
Share our roadmap and update progress as new characters, maps, and multiplayer come online
Gather bug reports and suggestions directly from players to prioritize what we build next”
