Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«EDIT on the 08/09/21.

Official statement regarding Orthrus Studios:

-----
We value your feedback. After passionately working on Distant Kingdoms for three years, we have watched it grow, change and become an experience we’re eager to share with you. Feedback is an incredibly important part of our development process, and as city-builder/strategy game players ourselves, we know that community feedback can help shape the game to be what we all want and love. By sharing our journey with passionate players, collecting feedback and listening to opinions, we will make our game better and more rewarding than going it alone!»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«We anticipate that the Early Access will last for one year, with regular feature updates scheduled during this time, driven by our own plans and shaped by community feedback throughout.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«With Early Access, we’re releasing an experience we hope you’ll enjoy, something that delights our community and provides a taste of what’s to come. We have a lot of ideas we want to include in a full release (as well as considering our player feedback) such as:

• A full Campaign Story Mode in the world of Ineron
  
• Fully-fledged Modding support
  
• Additional maps, models, productions, monsters & magic!
  
• Quality, polish and balancing
  
• More music and sound implementation

And we’re of course eager to hear what you think!»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«Our approach to Early Access is to put out a game that a player can get hours of entertainment from, a solid foundation to build on. You will be able to play all four of the races within the game (Humans, Orcs, Dwarves and Elves), discover a range of encounters on two different maps, with 40 unique goods and associated production chains implemented, and more than 60 types of buildings to construct.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«Yes, we will raise the price proportionally upon Full Release, to reflect the additional content that will be implemented.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«We already have a great group of people over on our official Discord server, but we'd LOVE to have even more. Our developers interact regularly there, showing off Work in Progress imagery, funny bugs and gathering feedback. There's also a handy suggestions/bug reporting feature built right into the game (Press F9 during gameplay).

We plan on using community polls to help decide what we work on as well as taking direct suggestions to prototype and potentially incorporate!

You can see what we have planned for our first couple of updates in the Early Access timeline.»
