Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Haunted Shores consists of a 3 person design and dev team, concept artists, story creators and a mechanic. Development was always planned to be ongoing after our early access target date of Oct 1, 2021. Hundreds of hours have been spent getting Haunted Shores ready. This is the beginning of the road for our star protagonist. It will be the first chapter in a series of ongoing precarious investigations of the paranormal. We work very hard to deliver high quality content. The delivery of said content takes time and more importantly feedback from the community. Early access will allow us to take in as much information as possible and deliver a better product in the end for our player base.

Things we won't be doing:
Banning folks with constructive criticism and inquiries...
Releasing DLC packs before development is finished...
Attacking or humiliating our community...'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We've permitted ourselves 2 years for Early Access. We will release frequent updates and keep our community informed of progress and/or major changes. We are very serious about quality content and just as important... deadlines.

Much of Haunted Shores gameplay is meant to be shock inducing and control the element of surprise. Because of this, our screenshots and media releases may not depict much in the way of progression throughout the levels. This is deliberate.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The full version is planned to have 5 chapters. If we are left with a surplus of time we will add more. Rest assured a complete and cohesive story will be told as our protagonist makes her way through the game. Our team is well-versed in the genre and believe we can deliver a series of stories that will take everyone by surprise.

We're back and forth on whether this title is appropriate for multiplayer, but it will likely happen. We understand that our fellow gamers enjoy playing this type of content in groups, same as we do. We are researching plausible multiplayer scenarios and this aspect will take some time.

Cinematics are in progress and will be added to the Full Release.

Achievements are being written and will be added at a future date, and will be an ongoing addition process throughout the life of the development cycle.

Mechanics, Models and Items are all subject to changes pending future updates. We are constantly reviewing each and every aspect of Haunted Shores to ensure maximum quality.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Currently our game has a functional intro and playable chapter. Our UI content is 80% complete. All mechanics are implemented. Our terrain is complete for phase one, and the interiors are nearly complete for Chapter One. A small inventory system is in place, and player interaction is built. Objective systems are in place and being added to. Many other features and environmental elements are already complete and we add more every week.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'The price of the game will not change.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'Feedback from the community is always welcomed, appreciated and WILL be listened to. There seems to have been an influx in tyrants in the Steam universe, and I can assure you, we are not sensitive to criticism. All opinions will be heard and respected. Further, your feedback lets us know if we are doing everything we can to deliver a great gaming experience.'
