Why Early Access?

“League of Pixels is still in development, but delaying the full release because of that would not be useful for the game.
I am still planning to update the game with much game changing content, so it will stay in Early Access for a while. The current version has still many experimental changes, and such will keep coming in the future.
The current online mode is still not stable enough to be ready for a full release, so I need your feedback to find and solve problems!

Much of the interface is not yet finished and will also be updated over the process of the early access phase, the character roster will get a few more additions and much player personalization like skins and emotes will come.
I want to add some sort of Leaderboard and a League system, and will also need a lot of testing and feedback during the development of those.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will stay in early access until the online mode becomes solid and when major bugs and polishing issues are solved.
I am planning to fully release League of Pixels in around 2021, but I will keep working on the game even after that.”

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

“The Early Access version is going to underline many drastic changes to keep up with the development. When the game leaves Early Access, the base should stay roughly the same.

The full version should have a polished online mode, some sort of Ranked system and many more Characters to play.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state features an experimental online multiplayer and a stable local multiplayer experience.
The game does not and won't have any gameplay relevant purchasable content, and many things are still about to change. The gameplay itself though is very much the same as it will be when the game fully releases.

More information on the current state is also mentioned in the "About This Game" section.”

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

“No!
League of Pixels is and will always be completely free to play, without any way of buying gameplay relevant content.”

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

“Feedback is regarded very accurately and every suggestion is considered. I will also organize polls, where you will have an actual influence on the game's development!
You also have the option to develop an own character or skin concept, that I may add into the game.
Balancing in League of Pixels is a huge factor, for that I will also need constant feedback on how certain characters play or how it is to play against them.

You can leave feedback either on the League of Pixels Discord or in the Steam Discussion Boards.”
