Why Early Access?

“ing of Props is a multiplayer game, and multiplayer games are shaped by the people who play them. I've built a core loop I love: hide in plain sight as an office prop, hunt everyone down with a barrage of fruit and vegetables, and taunt your opponents over 3D positional voice chat. But the competitive scene, the balance, and the variety of maps only become great with a real community stress testing them every day. Early Access lets me build King of Props together with the players who will actually live in its lobbies, instead of guessing what the finished game should be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'm developing King of Props entirely on my own, so I expect it to stay in Early Access for up to 6 months. As a solo developer I want to keep this phase short and focused. I'll leave Early Access once the game feels genuinely ready, not before and not needlessly later.”

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

“I'm working toward a Ranked mode with match results validated on the server and persistent leaderboards, more maps and hiding arenas beyond the current office setting, additional hunter and hider abilities, deeper character customization, and continuous balance tuning driven by real match data. I also aim to expand the announcer and audio, add more game modes, and keep polishing the presentation throughout. In short, the full version is intended to be a larger, better balanced, and richer version of what you can already play today.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“King of Props is fully playable right now. You can create or join online lobbies, customize your character, and play the complete Prop Hunt loop: hide in plain sight as an office prop while the hunters track you down and pelt you with tomatoes. It features 3D positional voice chat, hunter abilities (scan, tomato throwing) and hider abilities (decoys, mage hand, jammer), and the lobby host can freely adjust the match rules. The game is localized in six languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese) and includes Steam achievements. More maps, abilities, and content are still being built out during Early Access.”

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

“No, the price will not increase when the game leaves Early Access. Every update and expanded feature I add during and after Early Access is included at no additional cost for everyone who owns the game.”

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

“Every kind of feedback is welcome, whether it's balancing, bug reports, or completely new ideas. I read my players on the Steam community hub, the discussion forums, and my community channels, and the game already ships tools that feed straight into development, including player reporting from directly inside the game. I run regular balance passes and content updates based on match data and player input, and I especially want the competitive community to help shape ranked rules, maps, and balance. Your feedback directly steers my roadmap.”
