Why Early Access?

“We've been working on LVL99 fueled mostly by our spirits and our pocket budget, to make sure our game is created according to our own vision. That means developing outside deadlines, taking time when needed to make a better, more stable experience. It also means creative independence, so we can make a violent game without the focus-group feel or political correctness of this age. Unfortunately, this means either taking more years to finish, or running out of personal funds.
With early access, we want to get in touch with a community that can enjoy our work, and help us deliver the game experience we want to share.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“So far we've taken years before reaching the point of having a beefy playable demo, but if everything goes allright, we could be finishing the full game within a year.”

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

“The main engine and rules of the game are already done, so the updates we plan up until finishing the game, would consist on more maps, enemies, bosses and music. Basically, expand the game from 1 single map with 3 zones, to several maps with several zones, including unique new characters and animations for each new map.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It contains a full playable map with 3 distinct stages, 2 bosses, 1 hidden boss, and more than a dozen unique enemies. You can play and complete the game without any issues.”

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

“We formerly stated that yes, but after having issues with our steam pricing and user feedback, we're heavily re-considering the price. Once our current pricing issue is fixed, we'll make a more informed decision. For transparency, here's the original text:

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

“We were one of the latest games to use Steam greenlight, and we received a lot of feedback from Steam users, which we highly value. We haven't gotten such a big response from other sites, so we look forward to hear from players and discuss what things can we include in the game that can make them more satisfied.”
