Чому дочасний доступ?

«We already have a solid starting point for an idea we believe can go far, but without community, we can't validate whether our ideas are moving in the right direction. Thus, here we are, releasing it as an Early Access title -- so we can build the game together!»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«Not Dead Yet will remain in Early Access for, at least, one year. We believe this is just enough time to create and polish all our ideas, as well as the ones our community dream about.»

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

«Early Access aims to build the foundation of Not Dead Yet. It'll deliver the core features we believe are critical to have a fun, polished, and replayable experience. In short, by the end of Early Access, we'll be delivering all the mechanics and features that make Not Dead Yet, Not Dead Yet. This also includes enough content that justifies all said mechanics.

Being more specific, by the end of Early Access, expect to see things like:

• More variety of enemies,
  
• More variety of guns,
  
• More variety of maps,
  
• More activities for players to do during a match,
  
• Better AI,
  
• Better FPS,
  
• Better UI,
  
• Better animations,
  
• Better sound effects,
  
• Better overall balancing,
  
• And more...

Some of the above might change based on community feedback, but in short, we want the full version to deliver a solid and fun foundation that allows us to scale even further.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«Currently, Not Dead Yet is only delivering the minimum of features, mechanics, polish, and content needed to make the game loop -- which is fun by itself -- with the minimum amount of bugs possible.

We are confident that you and your friends will have lots of fun out of it as is, but we still lack substance and content.

The currently available mechanics and features include:

• Character movement
  
• Jumping
  
• Shooting -- with a variety of weapons
  
• Zombies that scale forever
  
• A "Loot box" for buying better weapons
  
• Support for cooperative sessions, up to 4 players
  
• Achievements

It's also worth mentioning we are one of those companies that dislike bugs, and we strive to don't ship game-breaking bugs. That said, in the current state, you won't find anything that breaks your experience.»

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

«Yes, the price's going to increase after Early Access.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«The idea of releasing the game under Early Access is to build community. Not Dead Yet is our second public game, and we learnt from our first release that community is everything if we want to shine.

Here everyone has voice for everything: balancing, features, tweaks, enhancements, bug reports, etc. Additionaly, we, from the development team, are committed to listen to everything our community has to say, as well as to respond and react personally the maximum we can.»
