早期アクセスにした理由

“Sapiens is already fun to play, with many hours of content to enjoy. But as a huge and deep sandbox, the potential for future content is limitless. The time is right to get the game out there and start getting the community involved, providing feedback, and building mods.”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“Sapiens may be in early access for a couple of years or more. There is a lot of potential, so it makes sense to take the time to get it right.”

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？

“Sapiens has been built with multiplayer in mind, but it needs more work and lots of community testing and feedback before it will be ready. So multiplayer will come after the early access launch. Full controller support and VR support are also planned to be completed for the full release.

The full version will also add more later game content, as well as the addition of new mechanics, refinement of the existing experience, and progressing further into future technologies. You can expect to see the addition of boats, fishing, horseback riding and the transport of goods. More interactions with other tribes will be added, with the ability to trade or steal, recruit or fight. Also, expect to move further into the medieval era and beyond with the crafting of metal tools, and more advanced farming and refining processes.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“Sapiens is a stable and enjoyable experience, and focuses on getting the core gameplay and mechanics right. There is already many hours of content to play through.”

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 is likely to rise as the game gets more refined with more content after the Early Access release.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“There is an active forum and discord server for communicating between players and the developer. Throughout the early access period and beyond, the direction of development will be driven by feedback and discussions with the community.

Sapiens also has a very flexible modding interface using Lua, so members of the community will be able to contribute everything from major game-changing mods to minor tweaks and content, all influencing the game directly.”
