Why Early Access?

“Early Access will help build and engage with a community of word game enthusiasts. I want Zim's Word Game to appeal to both the casual player and the high-score-grinder. Getting early feedback from enthusiasts will be an invaluable asset.

In exchange for the community's trust, it's my hope that we can make Zim's Word Game into a tile smashing title that we all can enjoy together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access will be a fluid state whereby the community will help us balance and make the game the best it can be. The current plan is to be in early access for 6 months but that time frame is NOT set in stone.”

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

“For the full version of the game, we plan to add support for:

- Additional tile types
- Multiple themes
- New game modes
- Saved replays”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“- Basic gameplay is supported with 3 special tiles
- Global Leaderboard
- Friend Leaderboard
- Basic options
- In-game tutorial”

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

“Yes, the price will go up after it exits early access.”

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

“Our Discord server and Steam Community forums will be important to ensure the game is properly balanced. In addition, we'll look to the community for guidance on which features to implement next!”
