Why Early Access?

“TRUTZBURG is built around replayability, progression and a satisfying tower defense core. Early Access gives me the opportunity to improve the game together with players, using real feedback to refine balancing, progression, map generation, co-op and the overall game feel before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I currently expect TRUTZBURG to remain in Early Access for approximately 6–12 months. This may change depending on player feedback and the direction of development.”

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

“Throughout Early Access, I plan to expand and refine TRUTZBURG with additional content, progression, maps, enemies, bosses and upgrades, while continuously improving balance, visuals, sound, co-op and overall game feel.
The exact scope of the full version may evolve based on player feedback during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version contains the complete core tower defense experience and is fully playable solo or in 2-player online co-op.
Players can defend the Trutzburg across randomized maps, build and upgrade their defenses, fight different slime enemies and bosses, take risks by starting waves early, improve through persistent meta progression and continue into Endless Mode.
The main focus during Early Access will be balancing, additional content, progression and overall polish.”

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

“I currently plan to increase the price when TRUTZBURG leaves Early Access to reflect the additional content and improvements added throughout development.”

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

“Player feedback will be an important part of TRUTZBURG's development. I plan to actively gather feedback through Steam Discussions and community channels, especially regarding balance, progression, map generation, co-op and overall game feel.”
