Miért a Korai Hozzáférés?

„We’ve been inviting players to playtest Timberborn since the very first months of its development in 2018. Beaver city-builders aren’t exactly an established genre, and your voice helps us decide what works and what doesn’t. Thanks to that feedback, the game's core is here, it’s fun to play, and we want to make it available for everyone.

We will now be adding more content ahead of the full release, and Early Access players will help us choose where to go next. During that time, Timberborn will still have that work-in-progress smell of fresh lumber.”

Körülbelül mennyi ideig lesz ez a játék a Korai Hozzáférésben?

„We expect the Early Access to last at least a year. While we have ideas for what needs to be done before the full release (see below), players’ feedback affects that and we’re ready to put in additional time.”

A tervek szerint miben fog különbözni a teljes verzió a korai hozzáférésűtől?

„Timberborn has been evolving based on what players want and that remains the plan for Early Access development. The players’ suggestions dictate the specifics of what we add next.

Whether that means additional beaver factions, more water-related gameplay, an expanded science system, new resources or fresh food chains – or something entirely different such as a trading system – depends on the feedback we receive.”

Milyen állapotban van jelenleg a korai hozzáférésű verzió?

„You may pick from two playable beaver factions and there’s a total of 100+ buildings, most of them faction-exclusive. There are 12 maps included in the game, and you can create your own map using the built-in editor or download one of the maps shared by other players. You’ll be playing an endless survival mode where you expand your beaver colony. The world alternates between temperate weather, ever-deadlier droughts, and seasons of toxic waste flowing down the rivers. You can choose the difficulty, including a custom difficulty mode.

All core mechanics are here but may require further iterations. That includes vertical architecture, terraforming, dams with water physics, irrigation, food chains, power grids, district system, well-being system, day and night cycles, and beaver bots.”

Eltérően lesz árazva a játék a korai hozzáférés alatt és azt követően?

„We plan to increase the price after Early Access. There might be seasonal discounts during Early Access, including a launch discount for early adopters.”

Hogyan tervezitek bevonni a közösséget a fejlesztés folyamatába?

„Before releasing major updates, we test the new content on Timberborn’s experimental branch, open to all players. We read all feedback on all our channels, including an official Discord server with 35,000+ users where we hang out with the community every day. For the bugs, we’ve got an in-game crash reporting tool and a public bug tracker with upvoting functionality. We’re also working with our community on the official Timberborn Wiki. While Timberborn doesn’t have official mod support yet, the modding community thrives already.”
