FAQ:
Why Early Access?
“It's been 8 years since the last significant contribution to the skateboarding genre by a big publisher. As an indie, we chose to spend the last four perfecting the thing that really matters for a new big step in the genre - the gameplay and controls.
Now we're confident we have something of value at the core of the product, we'd like to start the discussion with the community, to include them as we roll out our road map and plans to build more content and features over the next 24 months and beyond.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“It's hard to make predictions in development, but until us and the community are happy with delivered core features.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“The full game will eventually include more skateable content all based on / inspired by parks and spots from the West Coast, video editing and export, character customization, more skaters and gear. Note these are NOT features available in early access but are planned for full launch at a later date.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“One complete area based on the historic "West LA Courthouse" skate spot, one character, core gameplay & game mechanics and tutorial menu. Note that this initial spot is complete but also compact, and was chosen to allow us to focus on gameplay depth for Early Access rather than building level content.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“We plan to increase the price of the game as more features are introduced.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“With careful consideration, we have been testing and incorporating feedback into the design process since the start of development. We will be considering and involving the community in every step from here forward and informing you of why we make each key design decision.
We welcome any feedback or thoughts about the game and can be reached at info@easydaystudios.com.”
