Чому дочасний доступ?

«As I am a high school student and this is my first game to be published on Steam, I'd like to get feedback on the game and how I could improve as a developer.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«So I started making this game the beginning of my junior year in high school, estimating that I'd be done by next fall. I'm pretty close but not completely done. I will continue to fix game issues and add new content as I see fit for the rest of my life.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«Right now, The Seven Stages only has four stages. I estimate the the game is approximately 65% done, 40% of which is playable. As I get feedback, I will change mechanics and puzzles to make the user more comfortable and have more fun while playing. I will also be adding achievements upon full release. Once I receive enough sales, trading cards, badges, profile backgrounds and emoticons will all be available.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«As said above, the game is about 55% playable. Meaning out of the "seven stages of man", you will be able to fully "escape" three stages in this early access version. But keep in mind that I will not only be fixing bugs but also adding new content. Please refer to the "About This" section for more details.»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«I've estimated around just over three and a half hours of play time when the final product is shipped. Right now, since the estimated play time is only around an hour, I've priced the game accordingly. Once the entire game is packaged, the price will be raised to fit the new game play time, thereby rewarding those who choose to purchase Early Access.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«The Community will play a huge roll in my development process as I will need their feedback on what makes the game fun and what makes the game effective for them. I'd like to actively communicate with you on the game's discussion forum. I will be visiting the forum (https://steamcommunity.com/app/706570/discussions/) frequently to answer any questions and make a list of improvements for the next update. Any major concerns can be submitted on my website: http://www.westonbdev.com/contactweston.html.»
