Why Early Access?

“Paper Shredder Together is built around a crew of friends working together, and the pacing of grabbing, shredding, sweeping and upgrading is best tuned with real groups. Early Access lets us balance the co-op loop with the community while we build the next rooms.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for roughly 6 months. This is our best estimate and may shift a little based on player feedback.”

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

“We plan to add:
- Two more rooms (an Archive and a Vault), each bigger than the last, where floor-to-ceiling paper columns form a maze that opens up as you shred it
- Saved progress that unlocks rooms in order, with the host choosing which unlocked room to play from the lobby
- A separate upgrade catalogue and prices for each room, plus more shredders and longer sweeps in the later rooms”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version has one complete room, the paper-buried archive office, with the full loop: online co-op for up to 4 players with voice chat, grabbing paper, a hand-cranked shredder, physics paper scraps you sweep into the recycling pit, a shared wallet, six room upgrades and a room checklist that opens the exit.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we add new content and features during Early Access. The full release price will be higher than the Early Access price.”

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

“We read every review, discussion and bug report and use them to set priorities. We will share our plans and changes in regular Steam updates and adjust balance and upcoming rooms based on what players tell us.”
