Почему ранний доступ?

«We're a two-person team making Flopball. The game has reached a point where you can hit the pitch and enjoy its chaotic matches together, and we still have plenty of ideas for taking it further.

We want to let players jump in now and develop the game around real matches, bug reports, and community suggestions. Your experiences will help us identify what needs more work and which additions to prioritize.

Early Access sales will help fund continued development. At the same time, we want Flopball to be worth buying for the content you can play today.

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«We plan to stay in Early Access for about a year. We want to use that time to expand the content, test new modes, and refine the game together with the community.

This is an estimate and may change depending on development progress and player feedback. We'll share progress updates and any changes to the timeline through Steam announcements and our Discord server.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«Our goal is to bring much more variety to the game. We plan to add at least six new maps and roughly double the number of available power-ups, balls, and in-match events.

We also want to introduce several new modes, including free-for-all, where every player competes for victory on their own. Alongside these additions, we plan to keep refining the balance, controls, and stability of online play.

These are our current development goals. The exact scope and order of additions may change based on testing, community feedback, and what we can achieve as a two-person team.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The current version lets you play online matches, create lobbies, and join other players. It includes physics-based gameplay, character customization, and progression and statistics systems.

The game is playable but still in development. You may encounter bugs, balance issues, or features that need more polish. The "About This Game" section describes the current content, and we'll detail changes in our update notes.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«We currently plan to keep the same regular price throughout Early Access and after the full release. We do not plan to raise the price for the launch of version 1.0. If our pricing plans change, we'll let players know in advance.

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«Our game's Discord server is the main place to get in touch with us, and you'll find a link on the Steam store page. We're active there, chatting with players and gathering suggestions and bug reports. We want to discuss ideas for new maps, modes, and other additions together, as well as hear your thoughts on each update.

Your experiences will help shape our priorities and Flopball's direction. As a two-person team, we won't be able to implement every suggestion, but we value open discussion and explaining the decisions we make. We plan to share development news and updates on both Discord and Steam.»
