Miksi Early Access?

I have been developing Crowd Smashers for the last two and a half years, as I work alone, the early access will helps me to test the game on a larger scale. The players' opinion is very important to me in terms of gameplay balancing. This will allow me to polish the game, while adding content to the final release. I also plan to develop and make tests to play online, but it will depends of the matches quality in the online mode.
Developing an online mode for a versus game is a real challenge to me and I can’t guarantee that it will be in the final game without having spent a lot of energy in it. This early access will allows me to take time to experiment and improve it too.

It is hard to estimate exactly how long Crowd Smashers will be in Early Access, though I'm aiming for 6 months.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

There will be many additions and gameplay improvements during the early access. Every month a new character or a map will be added. But also new game modes and some surprises ...!
