Why Early Access?

“The reason I have chosen Early Access is to allow people to support the game in early development and in return get to play with it and have fun before the full game is released. I am currently not full time as an indie developer, but I want to be in the near future. Some of the development is streamed on Gummytainment on Twitch by the developer so check it out.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“There is not an exact amount of time as this is the first full game being released by Gummy Studios. But as a rough goal due date it would be nice to be released by the end of 2018 or early 2019. The date completely depends on if I can get to full time indie developer and when that happens.”

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

“The early access version will not have any story. It is just made to test out mechanics as they are added and to preview and test levels all kinda of stuff that will be coming in the full release. These things include any updates to the main functions in the game, some bosses, level look previews, and some fun stuff as well. The full version will have a complete story including a special ending for cleaning all the trash, goo, and other stuff in all the levels.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, a tutorial level is being worked on live on Twitch. Once that is done there will be the first level preview after that. The main mechanics of the beginning of the game are all working and tested. The tutorial level has the first character you will meet to guide you through basic movement and things like running, jumping, using your broom to clean the trash, and how to progress through each areas. After that, you can use your first piece of equipment which is a broom to clean trash and progress through 4 parts of level 1 that are designed for the Early Access build specifically. The level most likely will change and have a lot more items as the game is further developed.”

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

“The price will not change when the game leaves early access. The benefit of being in early access is to have fun with the mechanics early and then get the full game once it is ready.”

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

“The easiest way to be involved with the development process by far is to watch the Development streams on Twitch. You can chat live and help make the game better for all. But fixing bugs and issues, improving game mechanics, and even some fun suggestions will be how the early access will benefit all.”
