Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“I want to start slow and steady being that this is my first submission to Steam. As an indie dev working on my own I feel like Early Access is the best option as it gives me a chance to take development at a pace I can handle and not be pushed to the limit to constantly produce updates every waking moment of my life. Going EA also let's me start to build a community surrounding the game which is one of my primary initial goals as a dev and I think it's quite an important one. I want to start getting opinions, some critical feedback and just get known a little around Steam before proceeding too far forward.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“As the current state of the game stands, I am looking at transitioning out from Early Access roughly within a year from release on Steam. Please note this time frame is not by any means set in stone and definite. I will more than likely shift this date depending on how the game progresses through development.”

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

“As I stated above, I have big plans to take this game above and beyond what it has initially started out as which is a small indie project of my own. In terms of features, I feel the game will progress incrementally adding features I have planned and any that the community highlights along the way. Development may be slow at times but I will try my best to maintain steadiness with my updates and keep to a routine/schedule both myself and the community are happy with. I currently have plans on loads of new content to work on and new features such as new weaponry, items, buildings and game mechanics.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“The game is currently 100% playable containing hours upon hours of content to explore and enjoy both alone and together with others. Current content includes a fully implmented basic combat system with multiple weapons both lootable and craftable at players disposal. There is also a full base building system with additional extras such as multiple different storage containers, building items such as bedrolls and campfires and 4 different building materials oak, pine, walnut and aluminium. Full survival mechanics are currently implemented within the game along with multiplayer and singleplayer support. A basic backstory for the game has been developed however this is planned to improve drastically further down the track once the game starts gathering its own following and player base.”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“To be completely honest with you, I take pride in being an upfront, honest and fair dev (getting harder and harder to find these days) and I really just want to share my passion of game design and development with the world. If a little money comes my way in the process, well that's just a bonus. The only feature that I may implement in the future, if players are okay with it, is some sort of premium one-off purchase which offers some small perks to your account, of course only if YOU want to purchase it. I feel adding something like this is a good way to show your support for the developer (me) if you like my game or you want to get a few cool little extras thrown your way for supporting the game which I really do appreciate. As far as cost for the game itself goes, I feel F2P is a perfect place to start for me and I feel it gives the community a chance to give the game a go rather than feeling skeptical about spending their hard earned cash. Of course donations are always accepted if you feel the desire to contribute and support me in my development. Players showing interest in my game is more than enough to keep me motivated and driven to improve the game play experience for my players.”

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

“I want to reach out to the community as much as possible for ideas, or even just to have an audience to bounce my own ideas off of as really the players are the ones who play the game, they should have some level of a choice in what gets added and what doesn't in my opinion. I want to make a game my players enjoy more than anything. I'm also more than happy to discuss any submissions of artwork, game assets or even cosmetic skin designs you might want to submit. If you're a budding artist or design enthusiast and want to get directly involved with development please do not hesitate to get in contact, cool people are always welcome to share their creations with not only me but the games community also.”
