changedWe finally did it!We've made it to our first major milestone: Early Access Release! I really cannot thank all of our backers and beta testers enough for supporting us and sticking with us all this time. I know it's taken a lot longer than we anticipated (can you believe it's been almost 2 years?) but we're making progress every day! Now you might be asking "What is Early Access? What does this mean for the future of Waveform Wipeout?" The Early Access release version features a fully functional and polished Arcade Mode (you can play any song on YouTube or locally on your hard drive). We have also included the licensed music soundtrack under Story Mode, though the actual story mode will be released at a later date. We didn't want to keep you from being able to jump in and play the game or check out the awesome music we licensed, though, so you can play all of the story mode songs whenever you want until we release Story Mode in version 1.0 (at which point they will be locked behind story mode progress). All of the backer messages we received are in game under the "Extras" menu. Here's a quick look at the roadmap for Waveform Wipeout development. I'm not going to make the mistake of giving release estimates this time, but I will make sure to post updates and let everyone know when we are approaching each milestone:

addedV0.11All screens will work like the Arcade screen works now (clicking a button on the title screen takes you to a location with an NPC. These NPCs will be the remainder of the NPC kickstarter rewards). - The Cache / customization feature will be implemented. Here you will be able to select which character you want to play as (all playable character Kickstarter rewards will be completed) and customize your character (choose a board, add effects to your character while they're surfing or doing tricks, etc. Who knows, maybe we'll even add hats?). - Leaderboards unlocked

addedV0.3first story chapter update. From here we will be releasing a new version update as each chapter is completed. Think of it like an episodic release, only you don't have to pay for each episode. Story mode chapters will feature unique gameplay mechanics and hand made levels not present in Arcade Mode.

addedV1.0Leaving Early Access for full release! Story mode will be complete along with all other features and polish. Thank you all again so much for everything you've done. Before we go, I want to leave you with this rad new release trailer we put together. https://youtu.be/nNKrc_UbbTg
