早期アクセスにした理由

“I want to ensure that players have access to a decent foundation to explore before I consider it a fully released project. This means that I will be adding components, content, and continuing to roll out additional features until I feel that the game has enough diversity to entertain players for a long period of time, and justify their time investment.

Much of the work leading to this point in time has been in developing a framework for content to be built into, and once enough content has been built to justify a formal release, the game will leave Early Access.”

このゲームは大体どのくらいの期間早期アクセスですか？

“The development team currently consists of one programmer, and will likely continue to develop with a small team. Given the small development team, I will be attempting to focus on expanding this project to the full potential that I hope to make it. The game will formally leave Early Access when I believe there is enough content for a player to reasonably enjoy, but I would expect it to be in development for around 8 - 12 months after release.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“The main difference between the full version and the early access version will be the amount of content available to the player. I intend to expand the pool of available bosses, zones, activities, and general combat integration to provide a broad array of experiences that the player may explore. Additional skills, crafting mechanics, activities, and events are potential features that may be included in order to fully achieve a complete experience where the player feels they are capable of reaching any goals they would like.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The majority of originally intended features are integrated and functional, and the player is capable of exploring zones and fighting enemies. While there are currently only a handful of enemies to fight currently, the structure of the game will allow for rapid development of new enemies, skills, items, and zones among other things. Regular updates will be easy to maintain.

A primary change will be in artwork - future iterations will see significant changes and updates to the visual appearance of the game.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“The price may gradually increase over the Early Access development period as additional content is developed. The price is not expected to increase dramatically, but funding for additional assets may be required depending on how rapidly the game expands.

Instead, it is likely that DLC would be offered to players as a way of expanding their game experience while supporting further development cycles.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“The feedback provided by the members of the community is invaluable, and will be taken as reasonably serious as possible when considering future development and implementation. The playerbase will play a pivotal role in determining how fast or slow-paced the game develops, how difficult the game will be designed to be, and how new features will be integrated with existing features.

Aside from tweaking mechanics to accommodate the request of the community, we will be following comments and discussions here on Steam and try to incorporate the feedback received into the game as frequently as possible. Future design ideas may be extended to the community members to help shape the game in the way that they would like to see it.

Significant changes to existing features and development of new concepts and ideas will be presented to the community prior to implementation to understand the perspective of the players, and regular updates will describe the progress of new components.”
