Why Early Access?

“JGWS is in Early Access because I am dedicated to polishing the project before its official release. As the sole developer, I want to ensure that every aspect of the game meets a high standard of quality. During Early Access, we plan to push regular updates, including new maps, features, and improvements based on player feedback. My goal is to actively engage with the community, continuously improve the game, and incorporate feedback that will help shape the final product. I am fully committed to the long-term development of JGWS and seeing it through to a polished and complete release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“There is no specific date when we're planning on coming out of Early Access for a Full Release, however we expect it to be sometime in 2026/2027.”

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

“The full version is planned to be majorly different, with an overhaul in moving onto the next map, game save files and at least double the amount of maps we have on release (5 in EA, 10 on Release).”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build provides players with 3 small-to-medium sized maps, each with 9, 7 and 15 collectibles each to collect and move on to the next map.”

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

“For the minute, we plan to gradually raise the price during Early Access as we ship new content and features, such as new maps.”

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

“We have a Discord where our community members can report bugs, crashes, and even post and upvote suggestions in our Forums categories. Our Trello Board allows our community to track our development process and watch their suggestions and bugs go live, including full in-depth patch notes that will be cross-posted to Steam.”
