Wozu Early Access?

„Ashspire is already a complete, fun roguelite: three heroes with their own abilities, three arenas, and a deep pool of relics, armor and upgrades. Early Access lets players join in while I finish the game.

Before full release I plan to add two more levels, a fourth hero, more items and a quest system. Player feedback on the Steam forums will directly shape balance, difficulty and which content comes first. (Feedback button in game can also be used to provide feedback)

I'm committed to seeing Ashspire through to full release and to supporting it with updates after launch.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„Maybe a year. I'm adding new content all the time, but at a certain point I will say the game is complete.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Way more content, enemies, levels, items, bosses and a polished bug free (or close to it) experience.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Ashspire is fully playable in its endless survival mode. The current build includes:

- 3 arenas: the Grand Hall, The City and The Alley. Each run is timed and ends in a boss fight.
- 3 heroes: the Warrior, the Mage and the Gunner, each with their own weapon and special ability
- 38 relics (11 active, 27 passive) that level up without a cap, plus 36 relic combos
- 13 armor pieces across the heroes, each with 2 upgrade paths
- 8 enemy types, 4 elite variants, 3 mini-bosses and a final boss
- Movement: double jump, wall-climbing, ledge grabs, a dash and a grappling chain
- Permanent upgrades bought with souls between runs
- A merchant, loot chests, shrines and events inside each arena
- 3 difficulty levels
- Co-op: 2-player split-screen and online play for up to 3 players
- Full controller support“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Yes but I wont raise the price until version 1.0“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„There will be a feedback button in the game that allows player to easily send me feedback. In addition I will be monitoring any steam forum posts.“
