Proč předběžný přístup?

“We’ve seen a lot of games that we really enjoy go through the Steam Early Access program and come out much better for it. Dad Quest is a game that we think would benefit from early and consistent feedback and literally every time someone new has played the game it’s gotten a little bit better. Game development can sometimes be a slow and solitary process and getting fresh input on the content frequently during Early Access will greatly benefit us and ultimately the players. Also, one of our Dads asked if it was going to be on the platform and we really had no choice but to say yes”

Přibližně jak dlouho bude tato hra v předběžném přístupu?

“This is a difficult question to answer because we have no idea what kind of things YOU the players will be saying about the game when we release it into your hands. We don’t want to keep the game in Early Access for too long, but we also will not release something incomplete. Dad Quest is our Child and we must raise it into the game it was really meant to be. With that said, we expect continued development to take half a year at least”

Jak se bude plná verze lišit od předběžného přístupu?

“The full version of Dad Quest will pretty much be more of what is available in the Early Access build. We’re developing Dad Quest in sections, starting with Chapter 1.1, and moving forward from there. Oh, the places Dads will go! Think of these as episodes, where each episode introduces a new story arc and fresh gameplay content. We intend to add more side quests, abilities, toys, jokes, characters, new enemies, and hopefully a bunch of cool secrets. Certain things, like side quests, toys, abilities will be directly influenced by the community! We’re very excited to see what kind of hilarious ideas everyone has”

V jaké fázi vývoje se hra nachází?

“The Early Access version of Dad Quest will offer what we call “Chapter 1.1”. This includes the tutorial, and a complete half of the first Chapter. This includes one of the game’s several dungeons, some of the collectible Toys (equips), and the first segment of the Child’s skill tree which includes 7 abilities.”

Změní se cena hry po skončení předběžného přístupu?

“The game may increase in price to reflect the new amount of content added to the game. We will make sure to alert players in advance if this should happen”

Jak plánujete zapojit komunitu do vývoje této hry?

“Our plan is to share milestones, engage with the community in the forums, and create regular builds to encourage feedback on the core game experience. We also want to involve the community more directly in certain ways, such as helping us brainstorm ideas for toys, side quests, abilities, npcs, jokes, etc.

Content-wise, we will be releasing bigger chunks of gameplay (“parts of chapters”) in larger updates and have smaller, more regular updates interspersed. These smaller updates would include bits and pieces of the chapters as they are made, but in story-based games such as Dad Quest, usually it’s the bigger updates where everything comes together. These bigger updates would happen in tandem with community events.”
