Why Early Access?

“Bombyx is an experimental game. Early Access offers a chance to share the current builds & gather feedback. As a true labor of love, Bombyx represents years of work and will see continued, ongoing development. With greater exposure and your support, we can bring a full development team onboard to create more content, faster. Early Access allows us greater freedom to experiment with entirely new interactions, as well as 'mashups' of classic game mechanics. Let us know what interests you most and where to focus, and help make Bombyx everything that it can be!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until it's ready! Major features like top notch cross-platform multiplayer are anticipated to see buildout for 12-24+ months, with ongoing public point releases during development. Your input and support help to make Bombyx everything that it can be.”

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

“"Full" future builds will include more Fixes and full Options Menus, Settings, etc. Bombyx is constantly receiving new Features, Levels, Enemies, Weapons, Music, Art, Animation, etc. Reaching a larger audience on more Platforms, and Networked Multiplayer, are larger development goals that benefit most from your ongoing support. Additional maps currently in development include Seahorse Island, Lilypad Land, 3D Fractal Maps, Mars maps with accurate geologic features, ISS, and more!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully playable in two completely different modes. Some minor bugs. Ongoing feature and content additions.”

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

“Bombyx will always have a free download with playable content. Our future development roadmap includes additional, optional paid content and in-game purchases. We don't plan to change the base entry price.”
