Why Early Access?

“Novalance has only a limited number of choosable mechs and attachments. We wish to bring the total number option mechs to 10 before the full release, This will be accompanied by a 5v5 match time allowing for a variety of counter gameplays to take place in the matches.
We still have not finished the balancing and final game rules to ensure an enjoyable game for our players. EA will give us an opportunity to fine-tune Novalance's mechanics before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our current goal would be for October/November for full release if things went as planned.”

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

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

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

“Novalance retail price will gradually raise when we add new content and features.”

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

“We want to hear player feedback as we develop novalance. Using steams community forums and discord we will hear feedback from players on features that may need to be removed/tweaked, along with features that the community would like to see implemented.

We will often reach out to the community on Steam/Discord/Twitter for suggestions/poll voting and inputs when deciding if/how to implement a new design.”
