Why Early Access?

“We’ve poured our hearts into making Begone Beast delightful- but we want to do so much more! The game has so many interlocking systems on top of having cooperative multiplayer- there are so many paths we could take as we build more content. The feedback we get in Early Access will be a clear guiding light- allowing us to laser focus on the right systems to add and expand. So come on in! Whether you play a little or a lot, you’ll have a huge impact on the decisions we make on the road to 1.0 and beyond. AAAAAAaaaaaaa!!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’ll be cooking up new Beasts, Environments, snacks and other goodies in Early Access for at least a year. Ultimately, we want to give Begone Beast the time it needs to be the best version of itself, and that will be based on the feedback we get from players in Early Access.”

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

“More Beasts! More Environments! More playable heroes! And everything in between. Our Early Access version will show off our first two major Beasts and Environments, along with many snacks, weapons, and character unlocks. Our full version will exponentially expand the amount of combinations of builds, monsters, locations, and playable characters. In addition to providing the final forms of each Beast to take down!

Throughout early access you can expect regular balance and bugfix patches every couple of weeks and larger content updates every few months. These larger content drops will include things like new monsters to fight, new playable characters, new procedural environments to explore, and new items/challenges to unlock.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Begone Beast will launch into Early Access with two horrible and humongous BEASTS- each deploying their own army of monsters. You’ll be facing off against their own hordes of creepy crawlies, roster of elite monsters, and of course the BEASTS themselves. The game will also launch with two sprawling replayable procedural environments- each with its own monsters, hazards, and ever-changing levels to explore and survive.

We will also be launching with 4+ playable characters- each with their own unique weapons & attacks. Visit the beast-hunter’s clubhouse to equip upgrades, ability unlocks, and level ups that allow for hundreds of mix & match builds to try. Unlock unique & powerful new items by enabling challenge mutators- taking on BEASTS at higher and higher difficulties.”

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

“Depending on how long we spend in Early Access, and the amount of added content over that time, we might raise the price to reflect the increased size of the game.”

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

“We are seriously so excited to start building this game alongside a community. We will be ravenously eating up gameplay data and feedback wherever you leave it and however you express it.

That said- once we launch into Early Access, our official Discord server will be the best place to keep up with development and participate in making the game better and better. We will also be checking Steam forums and any other places we might find people playing and discussing the game. We can’t wait to hear from you! You are our best shot at making Begone Beast the game of our dreams.”
