THE CONTRACT
Early Access & Community Development
Why Early Access?
We want DARKLOOPERS to have community-driven development. We love considering and implementing ideas from the community and intend it to be developed this way entirely. It allows us to have immediate feedback to what players like and dislike, what they would like to see more of and what maybe doesn't quite work as intended. It helps us to introduce new changes and get immediate, direct feedback in to whether an item is overpowered, for example.
How long will EA last?
We intend to be in Early Access for a couple of years, however, this may fluctuate in either direction depending on community feedback.
How will EA differ from the full version?
The full version of DARKLOOPERS is planned to have additional content, some of which influenced by community feedback from the Early Access version of the game. There will also be lots of performance fixes, bug fixes and various other changes. We also intend DARKLOOPERS to have much more lore and story content, but this is subject to change depending on community feedback.
What is the current state of the EA version?
The Early Access version has the content and features described on the 'About/Description' sections of the store pages.

DISCLAIMERS
DARKLOOPERS is a passion project started by a solo developer. I will listen to and consider all feedback good or bad. But, remember that I am a human, so please keep all feedback kind and constructive.
No AI was used in the development of DARKLOOPERS. I enjoy every part of it — as it is my passion, I don't want a machine to do it for me!
DARKLOOPERS will NOT contain micro-transactions (MTX), paid lootboxes or battlepasses of any kind. A one-time payment will grant access to all content in the game. However, there may be future free or paid DLC, although nothing has been planned and will not be considered until the full game is finished.
DARKLOOPERS is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
