Why Early Access?
Smelogs features a unique gameplay mechanic, and we aim to refine and extend the game further based on players' feedback before the full release.
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
We anticipate Smelogs to be in Early Access for a couple of months.
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
During Early Access, we'll introduce a unique single-player/co-op mode, game modes supporting more players, and enhance the game world for a more immersive experience.
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
Smelogs offers fully developed gameplay features that allow players to enjoy a full gameplay loop against AI, participate in online matches, or engage in custom games. We also have a ranked system, leaderboards, and a replay system in place, though the latter needs further improvements. Our focus now is on introducing a single-player/co-op mode and expanding lobbies to support matches of up to 8 players.
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
Smelogs Playground will stay free-to-play after Early Access, with plans to introduce more purchasable items and additional content in the future.
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
We're committed to engaging with the community through regular updates to gather feedback, suggestions, and bug reports in our Discord (Opens in new tab). Given the unique approach of Smelogs, player feedback is crucial in delivering an outstanding gaming experience. We welcome feedback from both newcomers and experts in the genre to help shape the game.
What in-app and in-game purchases are offered in your product?
Smelogs Playground offers Virtual Currency in the form of Nifty Coins for sale on both the Epic Games Store and its in-game store. Smelogs Playground also offers various bundles that include cosmetic in-game products and occasionally questlines that offer rewards like Nifty Coins.
Using Nifty Coins that are earned or purchased, players can also purchase cosmetic items in the in-game Item Shop, along with purchasing upgrades for each season’s Battle Pass.
Example in-app purchases include the following Nifty Coin offerings:
300 Nifty Coins
525 Nifty Coins
1,100 Nifty Coins
3,000 Nifty Coins
6,500 Nifty Coins
Does the product use Epic Games' payment platform or your own for these in-app purchases? Note: Epic can not provide details or refund for any transactions made outside of Epic's payment platform.
When playing Smelogs Playground through the Epic Game Store, all in-app purchases use Epic Games’ payment platform. The in-game store transitions the user to the platform storefront to complete purchases. When playing on other platforms, different payment platforms may be used.
Can I use your product without making any in-app purchases?
Smelogs Playground does not require players to purchase any content to play. All purchases are optional and provide only cosmetic benefits.
Are the in-app purchases refundable?
No.
