Why Early Access?

“Kid Baby: Starchild has been developed by a small core team of just 3 people for a number of years. We're primarily hoping to broaden our feedback on the games difficulty and progression in order to help identify potential areas of frustration. The game has also been developed on custom in-house engine so we're looking to iron out any compatibility issues that may arise before delivering the final version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6-8 months. While we polish up the rest of the game content.”

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

“Without guaranteeing any specific content there are a number of levels already blocked out and playable for the game that explore additional mechanics. A boss fight and additional enemy characters also exist that may be added to the game. Further, a portion of the sound design in the Early Access version is incomplete and will require an additional pass in order to meet our expectations for the final version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is fully playable and features:

* 6 Mission levels
* 6 Minigames (hidden within the mission levels)
* Player mechanics in a progression (learning a new ability each level)
* Variety of enemy characters (usually a new one introduced in every level)
* 1 Challenge level
* 1 Minimap
* 1 Bazaar for purchasing items with credits earned in game
* Original soundtrack and sound effect design
* Full controller support (Tested with Xbox & PS4) (No keyboard controls)
* Video mode configuration (windowed, borderless, fullscreen, gamma)
* Steam cloud saves”

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

“The game is currently being offered at discount.”

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

“As mentioned we're primarily looking to involve the community for feedback on difficulty and progression. We're also open to general ideas on how we could improve and expand upon what we've built so far.
