Why Early Access?

“Cluck is in early access, as we don't have all the content we need to feel comfortable enough to call this our fully released game. We don't want people to think that the current state of this game is like this, and will stay like this. We are missing content to such as, maps, customization options and power-ups, and even some optimization for a few maps. This is also a great way to get feedback from you guys so we can change, add or even remove things in our game. We want to improve our game as much as possible before fully releasing this game. We also want to get some recognition and a player base. We also lack the funds to fully complete this project and make it out from early access, so we believe that Early Access is the best way to start this project. This will also keep people interested as they can expect new content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don't want to rush this, but as how the current state is. We don't think that this game will be in early access for too long. If we had to say something, we would say around 6-12 months. From there we would probably be done with adding content to feel comfortable enough to call this a fully released game. And there will be updates in the future adding more content.”

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

“What we have planned is adding much more maps, as we don't have enough. One thing we also want to add is a leveling system. We haven't decided yet, but we may add drops and maybe specific level required to unlock a customization option. For example; That one hat requires level 32 for you to be able to buy it with the free in-game currency. The UI will most likely be changed as well for the full product. We will also include DLC's for the different types of clothes. You will be able to buy a DLC pack with hats you can equip, and so on. We also want to add Gun Game as a game mode in the future.

We also want to add environmental stuff, an example is. A button you can press to force the lava to rise for a short amount of time. Killing everyone unlucky enough to be there. We might also add more types of pickups, giving you different abilities for a short amount of time.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state is looking pretty good. You can play as we say in the description. You have different maps, different game modes, in-game currency you get by playing the game, all the weapons we plan to have. We lack of maps though, but we will add a whole lot more in the future. We currently have the game modes; Deathmatch, Domination and Capture the flag. You can also pickup everything you find along the map, such as armor, weapons ammo and the Cluck. You can also die from falling out of the maps and walking in lava.”

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

“We have no plans to change the price when we leave early access.”

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

“I believe that involving the community is a huge part. We want to have a discord server to keep them included. We also want to make a discussion to hear what people think about our game, the bugs and what they would like to see in our game. Or removed. We were also thinking that players can give us some clips so we could upload a compilation each week or month to our YouTube channel by top kills, top trickshots or even top killstreaks. As this would be a fun thing to do, this is not decided yet though.

We are planning to have a discord server where we can connect the player base, where you can chat with the developers, ask us questions or even write us some ideas to some things you want to see in this game. The discord server will also be the best and fastest place to get answers, but some other way to contact us will be through the community hub, or our E-mail: ”
