Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'We had planned to finish the game in October of 2019, however unforeseen road bumps and creative vision got the better of us. Releasing a game with a rushed ending, or one with significant bugs that we would have chosen to ignore with a "release now, fix it later" mind set didn't seem fair to paying customers. So, rather than releasing a product we weren't happy with or delay the game, why not release the first half of the game (where a narrative break occurs in the story anyway) so anyone who has been waiting for the game can enjoy that much at least. We plan on implementing the suggestions and feedback of the community and to pepper in extra content while chapters five through eight are being completed. The game will be finished regardless of sales during the early access period, and support will continue after as well. We're in it for the long run.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Until the game is done. This could be a couple of months, could be a year - but most likely not any longer than that.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The full version will include chapters five through eight. With the addition of these chapters comes new weapons, enemies, areas, puzzles, and side quests. A new game+ mode with additional interactions with a certain character, new game+ only side quests, and alternate endings will be available.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The early access version will consist of chapters one through four which includes:

• An assortment of melee weapons and one-handed firearms.
  
• An open world with secrets to discover and fast travel points to unlock.
  
• History and lore to unravel.
  
• Side quests to complete with rewards that will increase survivability.
  
• A shooting range minigame.
  
• Demon doggies that you can pet if you sneak up on them. They’re blind and a little jumpy so please have patience with them. Their previous owners were not nice.

Throughout the early access period, new side quests and areas will be peppered in to provide an evolving experience while we toil behind the scenes to finish chapters five through eight.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'No, the price has been established.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'Suggestions are welcome, bug reports are sought after. If you encounter something and think “Hm, I’m not sure if that’s right,” we would love to hear about it. We intend to interact with audience theories and discussions if any should arise, as well. Dement is a very metaphorical game, so deeper diving into what it all means is very possible.'
