Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game aims to be very communally driven and is in full-blown development every day. As an [early access] video game, we at _TrackC Studios can assure you that it will be adamantly appended and built with the community in mind.

Releasing the game before it's first built as a final game creates the possibility of communal input. This will make the finished product that much more comprehensive and fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This project aims to be in Early access until at least 75% of its long-term goals are met. Judging on the rate at which _TrackC developers can code, the game should be out of Early Access anywhere from January 1st to March 1st, 2019.”

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

“From the features it has as of now as compared to the projected long-term goals, Early Access (starting now) is certainly a lot more primitive than the full version. See the list below of current vs long-term features.

Long-term goals
- COMPREHENSIVE SAVE SYSTEM
- Fully functional, comprehensive town
- Bars, complete with gambling center
- Drivable and purchasable Cars at dealerships
- Loans (For big purchases)
- Guns (So for protection or for violent acts)
- Housing that is customizable
- Particle effects that enhance the graphical component
- Clothing
- Skateboards, bikes, and other modes of transportation cheaper than a car
- MULTIPLAYER; Has potential.

- More to come as functions become necessary or apparent.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

Features as of now (Early Access v. 0.1.4)
- Carefully custom developed UI system
- Basic Economy
- Fully functional apartment complex, school system, job center, and shop
- Beautifully crafted post-processing effects that add character to the graphics
- Functioning Pedestrian AI Action Programming (Walk, change direction)
- Functioning Car AI Action Programming (Drive, change direction)
- Tutorial
- Runs smooth and without issue

This early access build is a fully functional, albeit primitive, outline of the main gameplay projection. It has central elements, like controls and graphics, that are not projected to change fundamentally. The builds released henceforth will continually add features, but not too much will be done with UI, animations, and movement.”

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

“Yes, the game will be priced slightly diffrently between early access and the full version. Since the community is going to help with the development, and the game is currenly primitive, it makes sense that the early Access should be cheap. It is currently only a shell of that it one day will be.”

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

“Forums. Blogs. Reviews. YouTube. Websites. Emails. Any possible way a backer of the game can reach us here are considered a part of the metaphorical team and their input will all be duly noted. We are all trying to create the best RPG of the next year.

_TrackC will also have a newsletter that will always keep the players involved in development, not to mention free updates of backers that bought Early Access.”
