Why Early Access?

“Capy of Gods is fully playable, but I don't consider it finished yet. The Summit, the last chapter, can be played through to the ending, but it doesn't feed your progression yet: it has no unlocks or rewards of its own. That's where the new capybaras and items will be unlocked, and I also want to add an endless mode and more instincts. I want to design all of that around what players actually do: which builds dominate, which weapons nobody picks, what kind of capybara feels missing. I'm a solo developer, and Early Access lets me build the rest of the game with the people playing it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect around 3 to 6 months, to build the endless mode, The Summit's progression and the new capybaras with player feedback. This may change depending on development and player feedback, and I would rather extend Early Access than rush 1.0.”

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

“I plan to add:
- Unlocks and rewards for The Summit, so playing the last chapter feeds your progression:
- New playable capybaras (currently 3 planned), each with their own weapon and passive.
- New items.
- An endless mode to see how far your build can go.
- More instincts.
- Balance and quality-of-life improvements based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently playable:
- 12 playable capybaras
- 3 chapters: The Tower (3 floors in 3 biomes), The Labyrinth (3 wide room-based levels in snow, desert and volcano) and The Summit, each with its own bosses
- 6 biomes and 20+ bosses
- 12 weapons, 26 instincts and 48 items to combine into builds
- Meta-progression with rubies: unlock characters, weapons, instincts and permanent attributes
- Secret trap rooms, challenge statues, shrines and side missions
- 4 difficulty levels and an overtime horde after minute 10
- Steam achievements, per-map leaderboards, controller support and 29 languages

Still in development: The Summit's unlocks (new capybaras and items), the endless mode, and ongoing balance.”

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

“I don't plan to raise the price at 1.0. All Early Access updates will be free for everyone who owns the game.”

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

“Bug reports, balance complaints and strange build ideas are all welcome. I read the Discord and the Steam forums myself and reply as often as I can: discord.gg/KsckWpZKXZ. Player feedback will directly shape what I build next: which weapons and instincts get reworked and what the endless mode should be. I plan to let the community vote on the order of the new capybaras, and a pinned thread will collect suggestions for The Summit's unlocks and items. Expect regular patches, with larger content updates when they're ready.”
