Miksi Early Access?

This game is a hobby project at the moment, I'm happy with where it's at but I have so so much more planned. I aim to release those plans and ideas sequentially as soon as they're ready, following the initial early access release of the game. Being a solo game dev is hard, but so very rewarding, so no matter how difficult it gets to develop this game further, I will not be giving up until I'm satisfied!

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

Quite a few months after its initial release. As mentioned earlier, I have loads of plans and ideas for this game, I'd like to keep the flexibility/freedom to experiment with different mechanics and content, etc when and where I can. I feel I can only comfortsably do so while it is still in Early Access.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The full version will bring a load of polishes and improvements to the game as a whole, but I also hope to implement new content such as:

• GAMEPLAY MECHANICS - New interesting ways the player can interact with the package, enemies, and the environment around them.
  
  
• ENEMIES & BOSSES - The game is centered around automated/robot delivery, I'll expand on this idea and add enemies/bosses themed around this exact idea, such as a boss modeled after one of those huge robot vehicles that deliver your groceries.
  
  
• LEVELS & PUZZLES - As this is a puzzle-platformer, I'd love to introduce more and more complex puzzles or traps for the player to unwrap and figure out, similar to some of those shown in the games LIMBO and INSIDE.
  
  
• LEVEL EDITING - This would be a huge addition to the game and so would likely be added towards the end of Early Access development, but imagine how cool It'd be to edit and create your very own levels (like Geometry Dash) and share those with the community using Steam Workshop? It'd be very cool.
  
  
• CUSTOMIZATION - I'm a huge fan of allowing players to play the way they want (in terms of player/character customization), so I will be adding more colours, custom package skins, effects, and sounds in the near future after the EARLY ACCESS release.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The game at the moment has all its gameplay fundamentals/mechanics ironed out, there may be bugs here and there but the core of the game is all intact. The player can start the game and play through various levels of increasing difficulty, using all the available gameplay mechanics to their advantage.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

The base game will always be free :).

I'm still growing into this new world of game dev, my journey is only just beginning. Although I've poured my heart and soul into this project, It still doesn't feel right to charge an upfront cost to enjoy my work, however, I would like to eventually introduce some sort of paid DLC as a way of supporting me and the game's development, it'd also be nice to be somewhat rewarded for my efforts.

Listening to feedback on where the game feels too weak and improving upon it, ironing out bugs reported, and implementing new ideas or suggestions thrown my way. I'm always active in my community, so the best way to reach me and share your feedback and or new ideas is within my discord server!
