Why Early Access?

“Our teams first goal for Kitty Hawk was to create a game that introduces people of all ages to virtual reality with a simple to understand concept coupled with intuitive and effective controls. We believe Kitty Hawk's base mechanics have reached that goal and we wish to expand upon it with additional features and unlockables. As we move on we want a steady stream of feedback to make sure our core game-play is polished and any additional features we can add to help enrich the player experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're expecting a 1-2 year development cycle, but will depend on the amount of feedback we receive.”

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

“Ultimately we are willing to change this list pending user feedback, however here are the additional features that will shape the final product.
-Additional player control (lateral movement)
-In game currency (no micro-transactions) to unlock additional cats and upgrades
-An in game store to select and purchase additional cats and upgrades
-Add stats to cats to slightly alter how they feel or control (aka heavier weight will drop faster)
-Additional obstacles
-Additional levels”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of Kitty Hawk is a complete representation of the core mechanics and game loop. All the current controls function as intended and have been refined. The main win objective, compete with your friends for the highest score, is clearly represented.”

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

“Yes, the game will greatly differ in price during early access. During this time, the game will be offered at a heavily discounted rate for early adopters. Although, we are proud of the product we have completed thus far, we want a strong relationship with the user community. We hope the price difference will communicate that they will be getting a fun experience but we have big plans for what the final product will be and want our users to help us make the best experience we can.”

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

“We will be reading and responding to all constructive critiques within our review section. We will take these reviews into account as we continue forward with development. Although we have a future design plan for features, we as a team will take our early supporters very seriously and use their feedback whenever possible.”
