Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«This is a fully functioning game with tutorial missions, an unfolding skill path, many exciting levels and a grand finale.

Game play consists of waves of opponents challenging the player in groups of increasing difficulty. As the player progresses they learn more advanced combat techniques and unlock harder opponents. Initially combat is quite easy but it becomes technical - and difficult.

The current mechanics are:

• Players use smooth motions to gain access to powerful attacks
  
• Players can summon energy into their hands and gracefully weave it towards enemies
  
• Enemies get injured/killed when struck by enemy powers
  
• Players can summon different energies by drawing power from different energetic sources on their body
  
• Energetic spells home in on enemies
  
• Players can create energy streams with their hands and use them to block incoming attacks
  
• Players can whack nearby melee opponents with energized hands
  
• There are four elements. Some enemies have elemental armour and elemental attacks. These must be countered with the correct element.
  
• There are many opponents, with different combat styles and attack sequences
  
• The player is able to fight efficiently through understanding enemy attack sequences and vulnerabilities
  
• There is an in-game tutorial system
  
• The user can start at checkpoints once they have unlocked them

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We will gather feedback from the Steam Community and our "in real life" early test players. This feedback will help shape our game design decisions and priorities moving forward. We will monitor Steam Discussions to understand how the player-base feels.

We believe that the best ideas come from the players. We look forward to hearing the voice of the Steam Community - and building a great game together.»
