Why Early Access?

“We have been lovingly working on the concept, gameplay, and design of Megachickens for 7 years, and it is finally ready to be played by real-life players. The Early Access phase of the game serves as a preliminary stage before the official launch. Its primary purpose is to gather valuable data on game balance and difficulty levels, as well as to collect feedback on where to focus the efforts of the small indie team working on this project. This phase is essential for refining the experience and ensuring the game meets our big expectations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We believe the game will remain in Early Access for the next 6 to 12 months.”

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

“We are planning to include improvements to graphics, sounds, animations, and potential adjustments to gameplay balance and difficulty levels in the final version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game allows players to complete a run with various difficulty levels by choosing one of four in-game unlockable characters, known as Henfluencers. Each Henfluencer comes with a unique deck of Chicken Cards, offering distinctive strategies. The game already includes items and totems to help players refine their strategies further. Currently, there are 12 different bosses to defeat and over 300 cards to discover. Additional details can be found in the "About This" section.”

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

“The current price of the game is a special launch price and will likely increase by 30-50% once the Early Access phase is completed.”

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

“The community is key to shaping Megachickens during Early Access, and we’re excited to stay connected with players in several ways. We’ll be active in the Steam forums to answer questions, gather feedback, and share updates. Players can also use an in-game email to send us thoughts, report issues, or even sign up to test new features early. We’ll keep an eye on gameplay videos and social media to see what resonates, and we’ll use game stats to tweak balance and features. Additionally, we’ll have an official Instagram account where players can tag us in their content or follow us to stay updated on upcoming releases, new cards, and other announcements. Regular updates on Steam will keep everyone in the loop, and player feedback will be at the heart of making Megachickens the best it can be.”
