Why Early Access?

“Player feedback will be invaluable as more characters, stages, and modes are added to Antistatic. Steam Early Access provides a fantastic way to build a community and accelerate the development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is to remain in Early Access for about two years.”

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

“The full version of Antistatic is planned to include several online play options, such as ranked and unranked matchmaking; 7 distinct, polished characters; and a set of 9 core competitive stages alongside additional experimental stages. AI practice opponents and a single player arcade mode are both likely. Mod support will likely be improved, and be extended to online custom lobbies. The bespoke graphics engine will be refined and evolve over time.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“

• 6 characters, some rough around the edges
  
• Online multiplayer, in alpha testing
  
• 10 core stages and 3 experimental stages, all needing decoration
  
• Local multiplayer with no forced player number limit, max of one official GameCube controller adapter supported
  
• A training mode, allowing players to drop in and out and switch characters and stages at will with optional training overlays
  
• An alternative 19XX mechanics mode

”

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

“The price is currently planned to stay the same after Early Access ends.”
