¿Por qué ofreces acceso anticipado?

«We make games for players who know and love in-depth RPGs & strategy games. Early Access gives us an opportunity to make sure we’re finishing the game with what you want in mind before bringing it to a wider audience.

We’ve run EAs for multiple games before and have a proven track record of EA success on Steam. It’s a core part of our process that gives us space to invest more in the systems players find most fun and create additional storylines based on player ideas and experiences.

In a Trese Brothers game’s Early Access, we prioritize making sure updates never break your save games and we share frequent progress reports and roadmap updates so you can see how the game is progressing toward completion - not lingering in perpetual EA. We listen to players, add new content regularly, and deliver on our promises.»

¿Cuánto tiempo va a estar este juego en acceso anticipado aproximadamente?

«Approximately 12 months. Development-wise, we're on track to be launch-ready late this year. But there are a few large roadmap items remaining like translation, so depending on how those go we'll see when the exact ETA is landing and if it's a good launch window.

If it's not good timing (like during the Steam Winter Sale), we might push the actual launch date to Q1 next year, and in the meantime just keep adding to the game like we plan to do after launch anyways.»

¿Qué diferencias habrá entre la versión completa y la versión de acceso anticipado?

«We're planning a lot more content, more heist awesomeness, modding (as a post-launch update), and translations.

Character build possibilities are planned to expand with:
* more character classes to choose from
* more starting characters with different traits and backgrounds
* more cybernetic implants
* and even more visual customization options for your squad members and their equipment.

We’ve already more than doubled the amount of playable mission content the game had at EA release, and have significantly more we plan to add -- world events, proc-gen missions, squad member storylines, and ultimately, game completion storylines. This is one of the areas where EA really gives players an opportunity to make an impact, as storylines inspired by your gameplay, ideas, and feedback get worked into the game.

We plan to continue to expand existing systems like heist leverage and planning options, safehouse base-building, interactions with your network of contacts, head hunters, and more.

Finally, by full launch we plan to have translations for the languages we see the most demand for, and to have laid the foundation for modding support to come in a post-launch update.»

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de acceso anticipado?

«Updated August 2024:

✅ All core features are ready to play!

✅ The game is save stable. Updates will never invalidate a save game. All new content added to the game is added to saved games of any age (unless the content is directly related to new game setup).

✅ 30-50 hours of mission content are already available to discover on any playthrough, and the proc-gen system allows for much longer playthroughs even after you’ve gone through all available story content.

⚠ Storylines are in-progress. Several story arcs reach a ‘paused’ point after their first 2-3 missions, waiting to resume when further development completes them. You can continue to play through other storylines and proc-gen missions; new content in paused storylines will automatically start to appear as game updates add it in.»

¿El precio del juego será diferente durante y después del acceso anticipado?

«No.»

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

«We believe good communities help build amazing games. We’re here constantly to engage and gather feedback and learn from our players how to improve the game wherever we can.

We are also active daily interacting with players on our discord: https://discord.gg/tresebrothers

Players can see our last game, Star Traders: Frontiers, a Steam “Best of Early Access” award winner we’ve made 300+ free updates to and participated in thousands of community hub discussions in, to see how involved we are with our wonderful player communities.»
