Why Early Access?

“Poobo is a survival game that brings an innovative approach to the genre, and we aim to continually improve it with the feedback from our players. All designs of our game are exclusively created by our studio, Merlot Games. While we have completed the core mechanics of the game and made it playable, we believe that with the contributions of our community, we can make the game more enjoyable, strategic, and immersive.

During the Early Access phase, the feedback we receive from our players on game mechanics, balance, content, and other areas will help us deliver a final version that is more polished and satisfying. This process also allows us to build a closer relationship with our community and shape Poobo together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for no more than one year. During this time, we will continue to develop and update the game. With the help of our community, we aim to create a clear roadmap within the first year, after which we plan to release the full version.”

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

“Here is the list of planned improvements we currently foresee:

• New weapon types
  
• Strategic skills within the game
  
• Different game maps
  
• New enemy types
  
• Combo set configurations for weapons and skills
  
• Animation and effect enhancements
  
• A two-player game experience

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There are approximately 20 types of weapons and skills, along with around 25 unique game characters. Additionally, there are various types of enemy characters. The current version already offers a gameplay experience where players can spend hours exploring and enjoying the game.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we update new content and features”
