Why Early Access?

“The game currently has around 20 hours of content but it's not finished - there are entire areas I want to expand, the ending will be overhauled for 1.0, and the core design still has room to grow. Early Access will let me get it into players' hands now while I continue development based on what players enjoy the most.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Any specific timeline would just be a guess, so here's my thought process instead - I'm going to push the game's design and content as far as I'm able to, with the help of player feedback. Once the game is in a state where I'm happy with it, then it'll 1.0 - that could mean anywhere from a few months to a year or two. It all depends on player feedback and how far I can push the game's design.”

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

“Right now there's an Early Access specific ending to the game. The full game will have a different ending, combining all the updates and features developed during Early Access. I can't promise specific features, since it'll be whatever I notice would improve the game the most based on player feedback and what I'm interested in adding.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There's ~20 hours of content, with the ultimate goal of crafting the Singularity. There's an Early Access specific ending to reward all of your hard work. That will be replaced once the game releases fully. The current features are reflected in the rest of the store page.”

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

“Yes, the price will be gradually increased as I add more content and features to the game. The base price is currently the cheapest it will ever be.”

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

“I'm highly active in the community Discord and read all bug reports and feedback being posted in there. The game is what it is today thanks to the early players across ~30 different versions of the game. The development is highly driven by community feedback. I believe that's what makes a truly banger game. We're still a long way off of that ultimate goal, but it gets closer with each update thanks to the community.”
