早期アクセスにした理由

“Heart. Papers. Border. is not feature or content complete. The reason we want to launch now is because we feel we have enough developed to validate the concept, existing features and to get community’s help for the remaining features. This is a hobby project and progress is slow so please do not buy this game unless you really want to support us. If you do buy it, please consider yourself part of the team - give us your feedback, it is extremely valuable to us!

Heart. Papers. Border. is a strategy game about travelling, freedom and changing the world. One important feature we have left to implement is the influence system and we need our community’s help to get that right.”

このゲームは大体どのくらいの期間早期アクセスですか？

“Heart. Papers. Border. will be out from Early Access when it's done. We hoped we would finish it in 1 year, but life happened in a very life-y way which forced us to continue Heart. Papers. Border. as a hobby project. We are still very committed to it and work as much as we can, but the progress is very slow - we are sorry for that!

For the record, we are two people working on this game in our spare time, which means evenings and weekends. We both work in the games industry and our jobs are quite demanding, often exceeding 8 hours a day. This is why progress is so slow.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“Currently, Heart. Papers. Border. is an early alpha proof of concept that features almost all base gameplay mechanics and 2 countries implemented to allow proper play. We are also giving access to every content we finish, even if it is not ready - for example, we release graphical content such as countries and objectives even if they do not have any quests, encounters or hashtags assigned yet

Some of the Features that we will add

• Influence system that will show the player clearly what impact she generates as she travels and blogs
  
• Many more Apps for the SpacePad, such as Location which will show varied information about each country and objectives, as well as a much more extensive Travel Journal that contains detailed logs for travels and units spent

”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“Currently, Heart. Papers. Border. has only 2 countries available, will almost all their objectives, encounters and quests. The end game will feature 26 countries, each with at least three touristic landmarks, as well as multiple quests and encounters. You can now visit almost all countries and objectives but many of them lack descriptions, quests, encounters, hashtags etc.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“Heart. Papers. Border. costs 7.99 USD. We do not know if we will change the price when we are done.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“We need our community feedback for the upcoming features and also since almost all our countries are inspired by real life countries, we need local players to help us improve the content we generate.”
