Miksi Early Access?

Circadian City is a life simulation game that is intended to be played hundreds of hours. It is not easy to test every condition and how the design executes itself in specific cases.

Player feedback is the most important input for our design decisions. We want to start our closed alpha with selected players first and then open the game to early access on Steam later on.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

A rough estimate would be one year of early access period. If there is interest, we will add more features and stay longer.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

We are planning to add new content to the game. New NPC, new playable characters, new quests, events, inventory items and zones.

We might as well plan to add new features and we are willing to hear cool ideas from Early Access players.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access version has all the features listed in "About this game" section.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Maybe. If we can add a lot of content as we intend to during Early Access, we might increase the base price of the game after the Early Access.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We plan on communication using the community hub and other social media such as Discord, Twitter and Reddit.

The game offers fertile ground for improvements. We want the community to come with new feature ideas and we want to implement them if possible.

The content of the game is extremely scalable. It is quite easy to add new zones, new buildings, new appartments/floors, new characters, inventory items, collectible media and so on... We want to add the favorite content of early access community to the game whenever they are inline with games' tone and rules.

There are thousands of possibilities in the game that are impossible to test one by one. We would ask the players to report the bugs and imbalanced situations.

Also difficulty of the game would require fine tuning and we will tweak the difficulty with feedback from the community.
