What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to use Early Access as an opportunity to polish Sandhill Architectures with the help of community feedback. Rather than implementing large portions of the game after Early Access launch, we plan to improve on the game's quality before the final release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're hoping to stay in Early Access for around 6-8 weeks.”

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

“We hope to implement more community features, such as a puzzle editor and histograms (to compare individual players' solutions). We also hope to polish the game aesthetically (including visuals and music/sound) and fix bugs.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently playable from start to finish (through the main set of puzzles), though there will probably be bugs.”

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

“The price will not change after leaving Early Access (not including discounts and sales).”

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

“We plan to use community feedback to polish the game. This includes tweaks to visual appearance, story, and general gameplay. There will probably not be any significant features implemented as a result of the community, as we want to keep our Early Access period short.”
