Why Early Access?

“The Trivia Show only becomes what it should be in front of real groups. We can test rooms internally, but we cannot fake eight friends shouting over each other, the answer nobody expected, or the death that makes a whole lobby laugh. We want players in the show early, telling us which rooms land, which questions are unfair, and which deaths they clip and share. The question library and the rooms will grow around what they tell us.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to leave Early Access within six to twelve months. We would rather take the extra months than ship a version we are not happy with, and we will keep the roadmap and any change of plan public on the store page and in our Discord.”

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

“We plan to add many more rooms and game modes, and to keep expanding the question library across categories and difficulty levels. We plan to refine the systems and animations already in the game until they feel right, and to add more characters and outfits to play dress up with. We also have a few things we are keeping quiet about for now. What we will not change is the core: a quiz where the wrong answer kills you, played with friends.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is a full game night, not a demo. Up to 8 players online, six rooms that each kill you in their own way, over 1,500 questions across nine categories and three difficulty levels, in 14 languages. Custom question packs can be built in minutes and shared through the Steam Workshop. Proximity voice chat, controller support, unlockable costumes, and matches that run start to finish.”

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

“Yes. We plan to raise the price when the game leaves Early Access, as rooms, modes and content are added. Players who join during Early Access pay the lower price and get every update at no extra cost.”

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

“Three places, and we read all of them. A Discord where we talk to the people who play in groups, because that is where a party game is really tested. The Steam forums and discussions, for reports and requests that should stay public. And the creators and streamer groups who play the game on stream, whose lobbies show us in one evening what a hundred internal matches would not.”
