Why Early Access?

“Raisin Sudoku's core loop is fully playable today — viewers can join a live puzzle straight from TikTok Live or Twitch chat, and you can also play solo or with friends locally. We're launching in Early Access to put the game in front of real streams and real chat volume, tune pacing, scoring, and moderation against that feedback, and grow the feature set with players and streamers helping shape what we build next.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Raisin Sudoku to be in Early Access for approximately 3 to 6 months. That timeline could shift depending on feedback from streamers and their audiences, but our goal is to keep the Early Access period focused and short.”

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

“We plan to expand on the foundation that's already in place — more visual themes, expanded difficulty and round options, refined scoring and combo mechanics based on how real streams play out, and broader platform support beyond TikTok Live and Twitch. The full version will keep the same core gameplay; it will simply have more content and more polish built directly from community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Raisin Sudoku is fully playable in its current state. TikTok Live and Twitch integration let viewers join a puzzle directly from your stream chat, and Local and Solo modes let you play with friends in person or on your own. Each match runs five rounds with difficulty ramping up, a live leaderboard with a podium finish for the top three players, and over a dozen visual themes. The game is stable and ready to play now — Early Access is about growing the content and refining the experience with real audiences, not about missing core functionality.”

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

“We don't currently plan on changing the price when Raisin Sudoku leaves Early Access. The price you see today is the price we expect the game to stay at.”

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

“We're building Raisin Sudoku together with the streamers and viewers who actually play it. We run a Discord community, linked from the game's title screen, where players and streamers can share feedback, report bugs, and suggest new themes and modes. We'll be reading that feedback closely and using it to prioritize what gets built during Early Access.”
