早期アクセスにした理由

“Early access gives us the chance to develop Northern Lights based on your feedback. We want to take advantage of the Early Access feature to test hardware compatibility and performance. It will allow us to progressively add content to the base game to guarantee the best level of quality and optimization of the final product.”

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？

“We plan to release new content and functionalities gradually. We don't have a fixed time frame yet.”

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？

“Through Early Access, with your support and feedback, we plan to polish the game's core. The full version of the game (after leaving Early Access) will be enriched with improved animations and graphics, improved optimization, constant balance changes and content updates that will include adding new game modes, locations, items, wildlife, music, along with new quests and ending possibilities.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“In the current state, Northern Lights contains the main story sandbox game-mode with its features & content mentioned in the description of the game, intending to expand and refine throughout Early Access based on the community feedback. It is worth mentioning that, momentarily, the game does not lack any gameplay features. Yet, it is realistic to say that encountering certain bugs/problems with the game, especially early on, is not impossible. Our primary focus lies in fixing bugs, optimizing the game where it is needed, and improving the sandbox experience. All aspects of the game are currently continuously balanced, so expect regular patches & improvements until we reach full release. While we update the game with new content, you can expect updates during Early Access to break save files.”

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？

“Yes - the earlier you buy, the more money you save! Northern Lights will be available for a cheaper price during Early Access to reflect the unfinished, work-in-progress state of the game. The price will increase when we exit Early Acess and launch the full game, to reflect general improvements and increased content and play time. This is to reward and encourage those who invest in Northern Lights on the long term during Early Access.”
