Why Early Access?

“We wanted to get the game to fans sooner and give them a more direct way to follow along as we continue development. With Early Access we’re hoping to cultivate a community as fired up about pigeons and gaming as we are.

At the same time, if you can't stand bugs and unfinished features and want the full Pigeon Sim experience right now, we get it! If that’s you, we recommend waiting until the final game is released.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“12 months”

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

“IN A NUTSHELL, WE HOPE TO ADD:

• New items and abilities to unlock
  
• New themed locations to explore
  
• More character customization and cosmetic options
  
• A climactic ending to our player’s story.

Our goal for the full version is an experience filled with memorable characters, stories, and quests that can be mixed-and-matched in fun ways. Whether you see pigeons as "rats of the sky" or winged gifts from heaven, we want our gameplay to be flexible and emergent enough to accommodate both ways of being.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Players can expect the core Pigeon Simulator experience to include:

• Causing mischief and mayhem as, you guessed it, a pigeon!
  
• Leveling up and unlocking extraordinary powers.
  
• Creating chaos and destruction in large physics sandbox simulations.
  
• Comedic scenarios, interactable items, and dialogue

”

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

“The price may increase when Pigeon Simulator leaves Early Access.”

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

“We plan to offer multiple ways for the Pigeon Simulator community to be involved with the development process, such as:

• Steam Community discussions.
  
• Discord Server events.
  
• Twitter and other social media platforms.
  
• A dedicated subreddit.

Steam will always be the "home base" of these efforts, so Early Access players will have the greatest influence on shaping this crazy, silly thing we call "Pigeon Simulator."

Coo, coo. COOooo!”
