Why Early Access?

“Hello Triangle is built level by level, and player feedback helps shape its direction. During the demo, players showed us where the editor got in their way and where the difficulty jumped. Their feedback led to changes in both the tools and the levels.
Early Access lets us develop the later acts with that same feedback, while players build, test, and optimize their own GPUs.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last about a year. We plan to release the remaining acts in separate updates, though the timing may change based on development progress and player feedback.”

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

“We plan to expand beyond the first two acts with three additional acts:

- Speed: Tiles and multiple cores working together, the ideas behind what makes a GPU fast.
- Surfaces: Textures and the memory behind them.
- Programmable: A shader core that runs a supplied program.

We are also considering features such as a creative mode, exporting circuits to Verilog, and importing your own 3D models and scenes for your GPU to render. These are possibilities we want to explore with the community, rather than confirmed additions.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Acts 1 and 2 are complete, with twenty levels taking you from lighting up half a screen to rendering a solid cube turning in 3D, all drawn by your own circuit.

Every level can be solved and scored. Parts you build carry forward into later levels, giving you a reason to revisit and optimize earlier designs. The first two acts offer several hours of play, with more time for experimenting and chasing better scores.”

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

“We may increase the price as new acts are added. Players who buy during Early Access will receive those updates and the full release at no additional cost.”

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

“We welcome feedback through Steam discussions, reviews, and email. Reports about confusing concepts, difficulty spikes, editor frustrations, and bugs help us decide what needs attention.

Demo feedback has already led to changes in the game, and we plan to continue that approach throughout Early Access. We also plan to share devlogs and release notes explaining what has changed and how player feedback helped shape those decisions.”
