Why Early Access?

“We’re launching Affiliated Homies in Early Access because we believe the best games are shaped by the players who play them. Your feedback will be crucial in refining the chaotic, close-quarters combat that defines Affiliated Homies. Whether it’s tweaking the absurd recoil, balancing the factions, or introducing new maps, features, and game modes, we want to build this game alongside our community.

Early Access allows us to gather real-world data, test new ideas, and ensure every aspect of the game delivers the intense, unpredictable experience we envision. By joining us now, you’ll have a direct impact on the development process, helping to create the best possible version of Affiliated Homies. :)”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate Affiliated Homies will be in Early Access for around 8 to 12 months. This timeline allows us to implement community feedback, introduce new content, and ensure that the game reaches its full potential. However, we're committed to staying in Early Access as long as necessary to deliver a polished and balanced final product.”

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

“Our goal is to make the full version of Affiliated Homies a polished, content-rich experience that offers endless replay ability and intense, fun gameplay.

We plan to add more game modes, new guns, better animations, and higher quality game models. As well as new maps and polishing up existing ones.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Affiliated Homies is fully online and playable, offering 2 game modes, Classic and Gun Game, as well as several maps for players to try out. A complete player customization setup, proximity voice chat for when in-game, and several guns with banana like recoil for players to experience.

Of course we’re actively working on adding more content, refining mechanics, and squashing any bugs.

Player feedback will be essential in shaping the final product, and we’re excited to build Affiliated Homies together with the community.”

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

“Yes, the price of Affiliated Homies is likely to increase after Early Access as we add more content and features. We want to reward our early supporters with a lower price, and those who join us in the Early Access phase will receive all future updates at no additional cost. This pricing approach reflects our commitment to delivering a richer and more polished experience as development progresses.”

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

“We believe that Affiliated Homies will reach its full potential with the active involvement of our community. Here’s how we plan to engage with players during development:

Feedback Channels: We’ll provide multiple ways for players to share their thoughts, including forums, Discord, and in-game surveys. Your feedback on gameplay mechanics, balance, and new features will directly influence our development priorities.

Regular Updates: We’ll release regular updates, sharing our progress and plans. Community members can expect to see new features and improvements rolled out based on their input.

Open Development Discussions: We’ll host Q&A sessions, livestreams, and developer diaries where you can see behind the scenes, ask questions, and offer suggestions.

Community-Driven Features: We’ll actively seek out the most popular player suggestions and ideas for potential inclusion in the game. Whether it’s new maps, weapons, or gameplay modes, the community will have a direct hand in shaping the game’s future.

Beta Testing: Community members will have the opportunity to participate in beta tests for upcoming features, helping us fine-tune the game before full release.

Your involvement is crucial to making Affiliated Homies the best it can be. We’re excited to hear your ideas, suggestions, and feedback as we develop the game together.”
