Why Early Access?

“Coin Rush is fun to play right now, but it's a small game made by one person,
and I want to grow it in the direction players actually enjoy.

During my playtests, the thing people reacted to most wasn't collecting coins —
it was punching each other. Players called it a "brawl" and asked for more ways
to fight. That's not what I originally designed, and it's exactly the kind of
thing I'd never learn without putting the game in players' hands.

Early Access lets me keep building with that feedback instead of guessing.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to be in Early Access for around three months, but this may extend
depending on how development goes and how much feedback comes in.”

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

“I plan to expand the game in these directions:

- More ways to fight. Right now there's one punch. I'd like to add moves that
knock players in different directions, so positioning matters more.
- More maps. The game currently ships with three.
- Continued visual polish across maps and characters.

I'm also considering a cosmetics system where coins earned across matches carry
over, though that depends on how development goes.

These are intentions, not promises — the final scope will depend on what players
respond to.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable. Online multiplayer for up to 8 players works, with
a room browser, password-protected rooms, three maps voted on between rounds,
character colors, text chat with speech bubbles, and emotes.

Matches are short and the core loop — collect, bank, punch — is complete and
tested. What's limited right now is the amount of content: three maps, one attack,
and ten character colors.”

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

“I'm not planning to change the price when leaving Early Access.”

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

“I plan to read the Steam forums and community hub regularly, and to use what
players report there to decide what to build next. Several features in the game
already came directly from playtest feedback.

If players tell me the fighting is the best part, I'll build on the fighting.
If they want more maps, I'll make more maps. That's the point of doing this
in Early Access.”
