What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want the development to involve the players who enjoy the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“With player support we're expecting less than a year.”

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

“As we continue to develop and refine The Maze, we envision it growing into a more intricate, comprehensive gaming experience. In addition to honing our core maze-solving gameplay, we plan to introduce an array of varied game modes. These include:

Explore Mode: Players can navigate through the mazes without any enemies, focusing on exploration and puzzle-solving.
Survive Mode: This mode introduces enemies into the game, adding an element of danger and excitement.
Ascend Mode: Here, players face escalating levels of difficulty, truly testing their maze-solving abilities.
Race Mode: In this mode, the pressure is on as players must solve the mazes against the clock.
Cooperate Mode: Combining survival and multiplayer elements, players must work together to evade dangers.
Dungeon Mode: This mode presents the added challenge of navigating traps and searching for loot.
Infinite Mode: Our final mode planned, it features a single infinitely scaling multiplayer instance for the ultimate test of skill.

Also Improved graphics and sound: The full version will feature improved graphics and sound that will immerse players in the game world.

Each of these modes aims to enhance the gameplay experience, offering a broad range of challenges, excitement, and replayability. While we cannot make specific promises about when these features will be implemented, our goal is to shape The Maze into a rich, immersive game that offers hours of engagement, joy, and cooperative play. Please note that we are building The Maze with community feedback in mind, so your thoughts and suggestions are valuable to us!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Maze is currently in its early stages, embodying a prototype for our vision. At its core, players can engage in a basic maze-solving experience, starting to experiment with cat-and-mouse chases and initial exploration mechanics. However, it's important to note that the current version of the game is still actively being developed and refined, so it does not represent the full scope of what we plan to deliver. For more specific details on the current features implemented, we invite you to refer to our "About This" section.”

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

“The price will not change in a future full release.”

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

“There is a community discord and community feedback and discussion is encouraged.”
