Чому дочасний доступ?

«We are a small indie team with a limited budget and manpower. We consider Early Access a very important milestone in SUPERVERSE development. It gives us a chance to reach a broad audience quickly, get feedback and validate our game design.

So far, game testing was done internally, during trade shows and play sessions. Early Access allows us to get much more feedback on both gameplay and technical issues as soon as possible and empower us to ultimately produce better game.

We are also hoping that Early Access purchases will be a nice boost helping us to reach development finish line much faster.

Our plan is to keep steady updates in the following months.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«The game will be in Early Access for as long as it is in the development.
We are planning to be in Early Access for 12 to 24 months before final release.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«We are releasing SUPERVERSE Early Access version with most of technical and gameplay development finished, continuing to work on our game world and that's where most of the changes will take place in the following months.

Release version will have several unique universes connected with epic storyline throughout single player campaign. Players will be given additional three ships to choose from with more weapons and wider range of equipment upgrade options.

Released game will also include: more music, new enemies, and improved performance.
Our award winning co-operative multiplayer mode for up to 4 friends playing together on one (big) screen.
Deathmatch multiplayer mode might also be part of final release, depending on user feedback and our budget.
We might also release level editing tools to allow users to create and share new game levels.

In short: We are not planning major gameplay changes at this point. Full version will bring more worlds, more content, more music, additional gameplay modes, better performance and polished, bug-free, game experience.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«Early Access version introduces several universes in single player and co-op local multiplayer campaign, three spaceships to choose from and four different weapons with several upgrades. Up to four players can enjoy the game in front of a single screen or online using Steam Remote Play Together feature.

From a technical standpoint, the game is nearly finished, with few bugs left to be fixed.

We still have to do additional rounds of performance optimization, testing and minor gameplay changes based on user feedback.»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«Price of the game may change during Early Access, depending on gameplay content and inclusion of additional game modes and features (deathmatch, level editor). The price might increase for the release version.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«We find community feedback as the single most valuable and important aspect of Early Access. During development we will communicate with players mainly through Steam forums but also announcing progress and game updates on our website, Facebook and Twitter account. We will keep an eye on any suggestions and give our best to iron out any bugs that might show up. Our plan is to maintain steady release rate with new game builds coming every 4-8 weeks throughout Early Access phase. Each SUPERVERSE player will take a small but valuable role in our journey to final release.»
