Miksi Early Access?

We've taken Rift Runner to the point that we need to involve you, our players to help provide feedback and direction for how we continue as we develop the rest of the game. We're a tiny studio, working on our first game and before we get too far, we want to work with our community to help us make the best game we can!
For Early Access, we have 2 worlds, with 12 levels each, completely done. We wanted to make enough of the game so you have a good understanding of what we want to do and now, while we continue to work on the next 2 worlds, we're asking for feedback to help us complete the remainder of the game.
For the new worlds, we'll be introducing some new elements (wind, water, etc.) and mechanics and being in Early Access will allow us to experiment with these to learn what works and what doesn't.
At the end of Early Access, we're hoping to have at least 4 worlds, with new elements and mechanics, a friends and challenge system, and cool cosmetic upgrades for your runner.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We're anticipating a year until we're able to finish the game in the way that we imagine it.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

Based on feedback during Early Access, the final game may differ from our vision but we're planning on the following:
2 worlds (12 levels each) > 4 worlds (12 levels each)
+ new elements, mechanics and obstacles
+ friends and challenge system
+ cool cosmetic items like skins for your runner!

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The first 2 worlds are complete!

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

At this time, we don't have any plans to change the pricing.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We're active on Steam and Twitter (@StrayCat_Games). We're asking players to provide comments and feedback wherever they can. It's extremely important to us that we work with the community to continue with the development.
