Varför Early Access?

“As a small developer, we don’t have the resources to test the game enough to find every possible issue, so we need the community’s help to find any issues that exist. It’s also extremely difficult to gauge how difficult puzzles are for different people, so we want feedback so we can improve our puzzles to make them challenging yet accessible for as many people as possible.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“For the full version, we plan to have additional levels, bug fixes for any issues found, some improved assets, and perhaps new gameplay features if they are widely requested. Basically, the final version of the game should be more polished and have more content based on community feedback.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The game currently has 4 levels: a four-player level, a two-player level, a single-player level, and a level for anywhere between 1 and 4 people. It has core gameplay features, such as character movement and object interaction, that you need to complete these levels. It also has functioning multiplayer with voice chat, so you can play and solve puzzles online with your friends.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“We are tentatively planning to increase the price slightly as new content is added. Although there’s a slight chance we will have separate DLC in the future, right now we plan to have all content included in the base game, so even if you purchase at the current price, you will still have access to additional future content.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“Basically, we just want feedback from the community about both the current content of the game and future content. If players encounter bugs, we want to hear about them so we can fix them. If players are stumped by a particular puzzle or believe they could be made clearer, we want to improve them. If players think particular assets need to be improved, we want to improve those, too. If players express strong interest in some new feature, we want to add it. If players have suggestions for future levels, we’d like to know about them so we can tailor future levels to the community’s interests.”
