Why Early Access?

“The game is already pretty great, but Farmer Fred could always use a little more help wrangling those chickens! By joining Early Access, you’ll be giving me valuable feedback to help make Chickens Be Crazy even better—and trust me, Farmer Fred and I will be grateful for your input. So, jump in, have fun, and let’s make this the best chicken-themed puzzle platformer out there!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is to stay in Early Access for a few weeks, aiming for a full release around December 1st. During that time, I'll be posting updates as they make sense - whether it’s bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, or maybe even a few surprises!”

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

“Right now, Farmer Fred is doing a fine job, but Steam Achievements and Leaderboards are coming to make your adventures even more rewarding. While I can’t promise every request will make it into the game, Farmer Fred and I are open to suggestions - so let’s see where your feedback takes us!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay of Chickens Be Crazy is fully implemented, with all 100 levels and several secret levels ready to go. Players can expect to collect items, outwit chickens, and unlock doors, with platforming mechanics fully in place. The game supports both keyboard and gamepad controls, and touch controls are functional. The game’s graphics, sound, level progression, scoring, and player lives systems are complete. As a one-person developer, I’m still working on integrating Steam Achievements and Leaderboards, which will be added during Early Access. And of course, bug fixes will continue as needed. For more details on the features, please refer to the "About This Game" section.”

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

“The Early Access price comes with a discount to reward those who join early. Once the full version is released, this discount will no longer be available. So, if you're ready to be one of the first, jump in and help shape the game. Now’s a great time!”

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

“The community is essential to shaping Chickens Be Crazy into the best game it can be. As a one-person developer, I’ll be actively gathering feedback through the Steam forums and the Chickens Be Crazy channel on a dedicated Discord server, which you can find under the company name Game Mechanics. There, you can share ideas, report bugs, and discuss the game with other players. Your input will directly influence updates, bug fixes, and overall improvements as Farmer Fred and I work toward the full release.”
