Share this post:

Hello, dear Puzzlers!

I wanna use this Update to give you a rough Roadmap for Project Puzzle Pillar.
I will release 6 additional game modes while in Beta Phase. Next up is ENDLESS mode with Beta4.
It's time to share my plans for Upcoming Features and inform you how I will approach Accessibility. Also I wanna let you know how the payment model will change from Free2Play with FullRelease v1.00.00

Let's get started!

Accessibilty:

Now, with the basic gameplay functionallity in a working state, I will start to implement additional Features concerning QoL and Accessibility.

Tile color alternatives for different kinds of Color Blindness.
Customizable Touch Control UI.
Customizable Keybinds.

What's after FullRelease?

More Game Modes!
Goal is round about 20 Game Modes total.
Multiplayer!
Building a Online Network for Co-Op and even PVP as soon as possible.
More Fun!
Because that's what Playing is about!

This journey will not end with v1.00.00.
There's plenty of Puzzle to Make and Play!

How much will Project Puzzle Pillar cost?

Game Development is fun. But a project like this consumes a lot of time.
Therefore I would like to earn some money if you enjoy the result of my work.
Just without strictly gatekeeping the game.
Because at the same time I love sharing good experiences. Free2Play is close to my heart.

I am trying to combine those concepts. Every Game Mode will be freely accessible.
But not all the time with Free2Play access.

The CLASSIC-Game Mode will be accessible for everyone, all the time.
Likewise Players who bought the game will have access to all Game Modes, all the time.
There will be a weekly rotation of other Game Modes Free2Play for the week.

The release price of the Game depends alot on what I can achieve in the Beta Phase. Aiming for a fair 10$ value.
There will be certain Features that require to buy the game. There is no final decision made how this will go down in detail.

All Features stay completly FREE while in Beta Phase!

PLAY NOW!
