Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'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.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'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.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'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.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'In terms of content, the current version (as of October 19, 2021) offers a rather compact gameplay loop, with a fair amount of replayability:

• 3 Dungeons
  
• 8 Enemy types (with several variations)
  
• 7 Spells
  
• 5 Trader NPCs
  
• 24 hair and beard styles
  
• 250+ items to be found, including:
  -55 Weapons
  -85 Pieces of Armor
  -34 Relics & 12 Relic Variants
  -36 Consumables
  -21 Ingredients
  -8 Valuables

'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'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.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'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.'
