Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„I’m Johnny Ginard, a stand-alone indie game developer. I’m creating Slashvival with the help of occasional collaborations, but I’m carrying the burden of the whole game alone. This is why I prefer to publish the game on Early Access.

The game currently features 1 weapon, 1 world, 3 enemies and very basic mechanics (move, roll, attack, inventory, shop). The goal is to expand this to have at least 3 different weapons, 2-3 worlds, 10 enemies and more mechanics (crafting system and leaderboards). And overall, improve the game experience thanks to the community's feedback!”

Mniej więcej jak długo gra będzie w fazie wczesnego dostępu?

„Slashvival is a new project based on a dream I had since I was little. I have managed to secure a vertical slice demo version, but is no where near it's end result. For this reason, I think the game will be in Early Access for about 10-12 months approximately.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„There is still a lot of work to do. The world of Slashvival consists for now of 1 world with multiple options you can do in it, like fight enemies, buy from the store or gather resources. The idea is to amplify the game to have more content and more mechanics. I’ll add new things with upcoming updates (please be patient as I'm a solo developer).

The number of weapons is an important feature for the updates to have at least 3 (including bow and arrow). New worlds will be added (2-3). Furthermore, more enemies will be added which have different attacks and types (spider, bee, wolf, etc.). Also more mechanics inside the game like a crafting system and leaderboards. And maybe new characters from different races. To sum it up, I believe in the engagement of the community to make Slashvival possible.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„The current state of the EA version is:

• Basic mechanics (run, dash, attack, etc.)
  
• 1 weapon
  
• 1 area to explore
  
• Shop to buy upgrades
  
• 3 enemy types
  
• Inventory
  
• Food, enemy and resources spawns (procedurally)

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?

„I want to reward the players that believed and supported Slashvival from the beginning, so the game will have a lower price on the first stages of Early Access. The full release version will have a higher price.”

Jak zamierzacie włączyć społeczność w wasz proces tworzenia?

„As I said before, I want to involve the community in the development process from the beginning. This means feedback, balancing, new weapon proposals, items, enemy suggestions, and so on!
