Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“As a solo developer, progress can be slow and waiting until you have a finished product is not always plausible. In the case of Ruine, this early stage of development is the best time to start getting feedback, and involving the community in shaping the future of the game.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“It's hard to make a precise estimation due to the nature of not knowing exactly how much work certain features will require, but I think a few years might get us close to 1.0.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“There's a lot on the list of planned features and content, and while I can't guarantee all of them, any of the following things contribute towards a full release version:

• Story objectives and NPC sidequests
  
• Procedurally generated dungeon layouts
  
• Several dungeons and areas to explore
  
• More meaningful progression
  
• More constructible buildings
  
• More items & spells!
  
• More enemies!
  
• Alchemy!
  
• Pets!

And whatever else is thought of along the way.”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“The plan is to increase the price to match the amount of content at certain milestones, or at the very least upon launching out of early access.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“I'm very interested in hearing the community's ideas in the game's discussion forums on Steam. Any and all suggestions will be sincerely taken into consideration, as long as they are well thought out thematically, and cause no conflicts with existing plans. If an idea doesn't end up fitting the vision, it could still end up influencing development going forward.

It's also possible that I may run occasional polls when the community's input is critical.”
