Почему ранний доступ?

«If you think building a real-world museum is complicated, try simulating one! But that's exactly what we aim to do: create an ambitious, exciting museum management game... and your support will help us make it even better!

We strongly believe the experience is going to be enjoyable from the very beginning -- after all, that's why we're making it! -- and it will only get better with time and your feedback. It's going to be a fun, collaborative ride, and we're excited to have you join us on it.

(And if you happen to be a philanthropic millionaire -- call us.)»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«Hard to say right now. We have a roadmap of feature updates, and will share this plan as soon as the game launches in Early Access. That way, the community can follow along with our progress and priorities, and see their influence in action. We're aiming for six months to a year in Early Access, if all goes according to plan. In the Early Access version, you will be able to build exhibit halls from scratch, unlock and place exhibits, manage staff and visitors, and experience a variety of special events as your museum gains in profit and prestige, in a robust sandbox mode.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«The full version will expand core museum-building features (construction, management, exhibit unlocking, etc) with input from the community. We'll also add more content throughout development, like new exhibit items, customization options, visitor types, etc.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The game is currently in Closed Alpha, which is why you can only Wishlist it right now. The Early Access launch is our move to Open Alpha. In the Early Access version, you will be able to build exhibit halls and other facilities from the ground up, unlock and place exhibits, manage staff and visitors, and experience a variety of special events as your museum gains profit and prestige. See the "About This" section for more details.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«The price will likely increase when we leave Early Access, to reflect all the additional content and features added since we started, and to thank our early supporters with a lower price. We’ll notify the community of exactly when a price increase occurs as soon as we have a solid release date, or at least one month before any changes.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We want to remove as many communication barriers as possible between ourselves and the community. There is an easy in-game form to send immediate feedback or bug reports, a public development roadmap and issue tracker, and a for direct communication with us . While we have a general plan for the major updates, we’re eager to get your feedback on the rest. By making your voices heard, you'll help us prioritize which features to add or tweak, as well as what sort of content you want to see first. We're also looking forward to re-sharing (with your permission, of course) the museums you build, stories you encounter, and funny glitches you find (before we fix 'em).»
