Why Early Access?
Cyclopean is a complete game, but it is still in need of more thorough play-testing. Early Access will help me enhance and expand the game while getting important feedback from players.
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
I hope to have it finished in about six months.
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
I hope to expand the game in three ways: A. Somewhat more elaborate quests. B. More complex interactions with NPCs/creatures. C. I also would like to expand on the sanity system which limits the player in certain actions and behaviors while also opening new and unusual possibilities.
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
As mentioned there is a complete game already playable, with three different potential endings. The quests are not too long or involved, but they have a beginning, middle and end. The player has many options in how to engage with the game world, including combat, stealth and dialogue.
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
The price will not change after Early Access is complete.
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
I have just a few areas (mentioned above) that I would like to expand upon. I would really like to get feedback on some of the changes I have in mind. For example, I mentioned longer quests. I want to give the player as much agency as possible, with branching stories, and also allow the quests to be randomized in some ways. Having randomized, branching quests will require a lot of playtesting and feedback, and this is one area in which the community will be crucial to the completion of the game.
Using the Steam forum, my discord channel or just sending me emails will allow players to provide feedback that is valuable for the game's completion.
EA players are welcome to use the Steam Forum, join my developer's Discord Server, or reach out via email to provide feedback and ask any questions.
