Wozu Early Access?

„Sector's Edge has been in early access for two years now. While it's a stereotype for developers to endlessly perfect their products, we believe that for a fast-paced first person shooter to be enjoyable it's important to have a stutter-free engine, reliable networking and fun replayable mechanics, especially with the overhead of a fully destructible environment.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„It's hard to say, we both have full time jobs and work on Sector's Edge in our spare time. It's been a long journey so far - we're 5 years in - and expect to be in early access for another year or two.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„We are only scratching the surface with what we can achieve with our custom engine. While the engine is something we're super proud of, we know there's a lot we can improve on the gameplay and gunplay side.

We have plans for new weapons, maps, game modes, characters, attachments, mechanics and would love to explore more innovative engine features like large-scale destruction and raytraced audio.

We would also like to release the full version with ranked matchmaking and new game modes, some arena-based and some a bit more casual.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Our custom engine has innovative features not seen before in other games like raytraced audio, as well as other features like large-scale destruction, lag compensation, packet delay detection, particle and multithreading systems, which all contribute to a smooth, stutter-free, reliable fast-paced FPS experience.

We have 25 server locations, 14 weapons, 5 equipment, 4 perks, 163 attachments, 15 maps and 4 game modes. Players can design and test custom maps, create loadouts from the wide variety of items listed above, and customise their weapons and character skins and colours.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„We plan for the game to be free to play forever, with in-app purchases to unlock cosmetic items only.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We have and always will stay in close touch with our community through Discord, where we chat directly with our players. We believe this interaction gives us clear, raw feedback that has shaped the game into what it is today.“
