Why Early Access?

“Early Access will give our team time to integrate a variety of environments, meditations, trainers and additional features based on player feedback. Thus, everyone can find the best possible place to train and have a significant influence on the development of this project at an early stage through their feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to release the game in spring 2020. But that ultimately depends on your feedback. We don't want to release the game until everyone - us and you - are convinced of it.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In a full version there will be much more landscapes to explore. A volcanic landscape, a dwarf grotto and an island in space are next on the list. The final version will contain 10 landscapes each with different areas for mixed martial arts training and meditation.

We would also like to increase the number of available items and functions. A momentum tracking for weapons is planned as well as a variety of weapons and throwing objects.

Currently we are also testing extensions such as guided meditation and virtual trainers for martial arts and self-defense.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Trinity.Town: Monastery is the virtual training environment we have always wanted. The existing version is already fully playable. 

The currently available level and the existing range of functions allow you to immerse yourself completely in a new world. We have already emphasized the balance between performance and depth of detail, between atmosphere and distraction-free environment.  
The current level gives you the opportunity to get a feel for the game and its possibilities. And to give us some feedback: for example on the behaviour of weapons and objects or on the control with the controllers.  

But of course we are still at the beginning. Therefore, compared to the full version, many planned functions are not or only partially included. In the next step, an additional level is played, which also includes a separate meditation area. Music will also be available here.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will gradually increase the more content we unlock.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“You decide what happens here. Because it depends on your feedback how this game will develop in the future! Do you attach more importance to meditation or martial arts? Do you want to discover new worlds or do you want more details and new equipment in existing environments? And how do you like atmosphere, music or effects? We are looking forward to your ideas and suggestions. 

For this exchange we have created a category in our martial arts forum https://community.trinity.town/c/monastery. Here you can tell us your wishes, suggestions for changes or problems and discuss them with us and with each other. ”
