Miksi Early Access?

Brawlygon is a fighting game, so bug testing, game feel and balancing are very crucial to the player experience. Early Access will allow me to get feedback, so when the game fully releases, it can be in the most polished state possible for the full release.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

Hopefully, just a year or two.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

As of now, Early access has 6 characters & stages, as well as offline multiplayer modes, & an incomplete arcade and challenge mode.
More characters and stages are currently being added & worked on, as well as expanding the arcade & challenge modes, until all content for the full release has been completed. The current ui, vfx, sfx, and bgm are not final, and may undergo frequent/major changes until release.
The plan is to have at least 12 characters, an unspecified number of stages, as well as the complete arcade & challenge modes for the full launch.
After release, more characters and stages could potentially be added for free, or at a low cost.
A training (stage, based on the traditional, grid-style training mode stages found in many fighting games), is also planned for development.
Online communication (voice chat) is a possible, but no plans have been made for it.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Currently around 30% of the planned full game, content wise. 6 out of the 12 base characters are mostly complete, and the other additional launch characters (beyond the base 12), have no progress whatsoever. Ui, vfx, bgm and sfx are unfinished, Arcade and Challenge mode are functional but lack polish, and online has not been implemented.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Price will likely change after Early Access, but the plan is to remain inexpensive. Being affordable is one of the ways Brawlygon is intending to be an approachable fighting game.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

This is a fighting game, so naturally community involvement is incredibly important to its development. Game mechanics, balance, new content... all of that and more will be influenced by community feedback. Communication through email is fine, but I will primarily communicate through Steam forums, YouTube, Twitter/X, & eventually Discord.
