Why Early Access?

“RADminton is a fun project directed at exploring my ability to produce games. I would like to establish a strong grasp of the concept and understand what players appreciate or don't appreciate. Adding to the game and keeping it updated will ensure it is fully featured for a release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Upwards towards a year or potentially two.”

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

“The early access version contains the first few levels and the introduction to the game. Compared to the final version, It gives the players the option and access to explore the world of Radminton within the first 3 single-player levels, and the multiplayer lobby. The remaining 7 levels we plan to add during the Early Access period, including additional content roadmapped during test. Additional information describing the final games plan can be found in the about section. Our plan is that players can check out early multiplayer features, such as the character customization system and lobby hub mentioned above. Additional community feedback and critique will redirect certain gameplay features and controls, such as the levels added and will warrant what can be accomplished or unreachable during the Early Access Period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“RADMinton's early access version currently contains the first level of the campaign as well as a tutorial/sandbox level. In addition, the multiplayer customization screen is available allowing players to mess around with the customization settings.”

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

“For the early access I plan to have a free demo to play while the initial release will have a discounted price compared to the final version of the game price.”

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

“The community's feedback via the Steam Community page and the community discord will effect the game's development process and its success within the future during the early access phase as their feedback and testing will provide an outlook on their reactions to the game's behaviour, features, and gameplay.”
