Why Early Access?

“Publishing Flatworld in early access will let the game improve thanks to the users' feedback in order to achieve a more solid final product.

In addition, while the game remains in early access, it will be a good chance to build a community around the game, which will be published little by little in the form of chapters as people are playing. This will allow us to offer an experience similar to watching a manga/anime series and generate excitement about what will follow.

If players also notice their feedback was taken into account and got implemented in the next update, it will also strengthen the bond with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will remain approximately 2 years in early access to give the story time to be fully developed. Updates will release every time a new story arc (chapter) is completed.”

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

“The final version will include 6 story arcs (chapters), side quests and all the cities and dungeons that are not available in the early access version. It will take 12-15 hours of gameplay approximately.

Specifically:

• 9 towns with different themes.
  
• 9 dungeons full of puzzles and enemies.
  
• 21 equipable medals to improve your abilities.
  
• 8 shops (selling maps, improvements, mission items...).
  
• 20 equipable items to customize your characters.
  
• Around 20 bosses.
  
• Additional content: side quests and minigames.

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version contains the first story arc (chapter 1) of the adventure, fully implemented. It corresponds to the 20% of the game (2-3 hours approximately) and it includes:

• The first 4 towns, 100% done.
  
• 2 completed dungeons.
  
• 4 medals that give upgrades to the main characters.
  
• 3 shops with all their items.
  
• 6 equipable items to customize the main characters' appearance.
  
• 4 bosses that require cooperation between multiple characters to be beaten.
  
• Some secrets and side quests.

In addition, it contains 5 fully playable characters, each one with unique abilities and different environmental interactions.”

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

“We wish to thank all users who supported this game since the beginning. This is why the price will raise gradually as new content is added.”
