Why Early Access?

“We of course have big plans for this game, but also believe in keeping things simple. While we improve the quality and features of Fort Awesome, we want to give people a chance to play it, support us, and give feedback and input on the game. We believe Early Access is the perfect way for us to iterate quickly, and connect with people who enjoy our game to make it better!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are going to be working on this title through spring and plan to wrap up before summer goes into full swing.”

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

“We have a community portal where you can interact with us on Trello ( https://trello.com/b/FUd6zfOV/fort-awesome ) and see what we have planned for the full version of the game. Our goal is to keep a realistic set of goals and features, and then turn it loose to see what you do with it! We want a stable and accessible game, and a great platform for using your imagination to build adventures!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are in an Alpha state, with some bugs, lots of features to finish, and some performance issues to address. We hope to quickly move into a cycle of a beta channel and the most stable version being the main release on Steam.”

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

“Yes, when we have added all features and feel like its gone from a in development title to a solid release, we will probably slightly raise our pricing. We want to make it a great deal right now for our early supporters, but we do not plan on raising the price by much. Unless it solves world hunger. No wait, if it solves world hunger we will release it for free. Everybody deserves to eat.”

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

“We are not exactly social media rock stars, but we do plan to keep everyone informed with regular dev posts on our site and an active Trello board ( https://trello.com/b/FUd6zfOV/fort-awesome ) where people can see what we are up to and help us shape things.”
