Why Early Access?

“The Early Access is an opportunity for players to get access to the game earlier while allowing me to add content, polish and improve the experience based on player feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access could take around an year depending on how development goes, but most of the planned improvements will be implemented in the first three months.”

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

“I plan the following improvements to RogueVerse Dungeon during Early Access:

• Full keyboard and controller support
  
• Additional Achievements
  
• More detailed Statistics
  
• Game difficulty option

Depending on the player feedback I may decide to add more game content, additional levels, or new game-modes with separate hi-score leaderboards. I'd love to add new player characters to choose from at the beginning of the game, each with different abilities - for example an axe throwing skill for the fighter class (a barbarian maybe?) was tried and it worked perfectly. More special rare enemies, items, events and places to visit like an additional shop or a blacksmith will be considered as well.

I also plan to contact my awesome music composer Niilo Takalainen from Finland to order more game music - this however has a financial aspect and may not happen in the first months of release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“RogueVerse Dungeon is fully playable with already implemented Leaderboards and Cloud systems. Please refer to the Features list in the About this game section to get an idea of the current state. Because the game is oriented towards high replay-ability and a competitive hi-score leaderboard, the improvements during Early Access will be concentrated around those aspects.
A demo of the game concept was released online in 2016 and the play-through data of hundreds thousands of players was used to crystallize on the core mechanic: the simple but interesting and quite intriguing battle engine. You can try Dungeon Screener demo on my website, check External Links section.”

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

“Price is expected to remain the same, but may increase slightly depending on final game content.”

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

“I am encouraging players to provide me with their detailed feedback. I will activate a Discord Server upon release where we will be able to discuss various aspects of the game directly. Thank you in advance!”
