Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“From the very beginning, Claustrophobia has relied on the constant feedback of its community in order to shape the game. Now, with the release of the Redesigned build, I need player feedback more than ever before. Early Access is the best way to allow players to experience the game as it is built, while giving me the feedback I need to create the best possible experience. It's a win-win situation!”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“Currently, I do not have an exact time frame before I declare Claustrophobia complete. As it currently stands, Claustrophobia is very much an Alpha Product, and as such, I am still looking at a fairly lengthy development time. Please also bear in mind that I am a single Student developer studying at University, and sometimes coursework deadlines will have to be prioritised over updates. Claustrophobia will be complete once both the player-base and I are happy with the finished product!”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“A lot could potentially change between now and Release. A year ago, Claustrophobia looked extremely different to how it does now! Changes will be based both on my own decisions, and player feedback. Besides that, there's a great deal more planned! A detailed breakdown of what's to come can be found in the Features Coming Soon section.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“As I've said before, Claustrophobia is very much an early Alpha Product. It is still a long way off my vision of the complete game, and as such, has a number of missing features. The core game is in place, however, and there is plenty to kill, explore, and loot! Updates will be frequent, as will save-wipes. I suggest you look at the Current Features section, Announcements, and my Development Blog, before deciding whether or not to buy the game in the current state.”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“This will be based entirely on the amount of content that is added between now and Release. The overall price will not be lower than the current one, and is unlikely to change by much.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“Claustrophobia has been through a number of iterations over the past couple of years, and all of them have been heavily shaped by the feedback of the small community that has grown around it. I run a bi-weekly Development Blog both on Steam and my own site, which keeps everyone up to date with the development process, and I will often also ask for feedback on potential additions & changes there. By including the community over here at Steam as well, I hope to engage with a wider range of people to shape the game further.”
