Por que acesso antecipado?

"While the core gameplay is functional, much of the balance and meta game has not been figured out yet, so I need actual players filling up matches to help shape it. Early Access provides a unique opportunity for a competitive multiplayer game like Warp League to be developed and adjusted as a direct effect of player feedback."

Por quanto tempo aproximadamente este jogo estará em acesso antecipado?

"Warp League will be in Early Access for 6-8 months.

I plan to update the game at least once a month throughout Early Access. Critical bugs will be patched as quickly as possible!"

Como a versão completa será diferente da versão de acesso antecipado?

"The full version of Warp League will differ as such:

2 additional Early Access characters (for a total of 8)
2 additional arenas (for a total of 3)
A more robust party system to facilitate tournament play
Improved matchmaking logic that tries to find evenly matched games
No placeholder art"

Qual é o estado atual da versão de acesso antecipado?

"My emphasis so far has been to prioritize core gameplay, and develop features that help get people connected quickly without getting bored in a lonely lobby. I'm happy to report that the core gameplay is functional, including the following:

- A Competitive 3v3 online game mode
- 6 playable characters with 2 unique combat abilities each
- 1 (well balanced) arena
- In game voice chat with lots of muting options
- Drop in/drop out multiplayer to find matches quickly & help keep games full
- A pregame phase with a practice shot minigame so players can goof around together while they wait for more players to join. Optionally, if both teams press ready, the game can start without a full 6 players.
- A (crude) progression system to unlock 3 of the playable characters
- Over 30 Steam Achievements
- A ranked leaderboard. The top 3 players are even immortalized in the online arena for ultimate bragging rights.
- A tutorial section to learn the basics
- A variety of control schemes are allowed, including the ability to specify whether the touchpad should register taps or full presses
- friend invites
- teleport options include a standard 'blink' teleport, or a more immersive 'sliding' teleport.

Now for the bad:
- Your home court (aka offline mode) still has placeholder art in a few places
- The matchmaker is basically non-existent right now and just connects players as quickly as possible.
- while overall character mechanics have solidified, their balance numbers may be in flux for a while
- there's probably bugs. Please report them!"

O preço do jogo será alterado após o fim do acesso antecipado?

"The price will increase when it leaves Early Access."
