Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'We want to make The Slormancer the best game it can be, and we know that working with our community and listening to players' suggestions during Early Access will be key to achieve this.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Since The Slormancer is our very first game and since there are only two of us, it is difficult to accurately estimate how long Early Access will last.

The Slormancer will be released as a final version when we feel the game is complete and polished, which may take some time. We have a lot of content that we still want to add and new features. Not to mention what needs to be tweaked or modified during Early Access.

But expect approximately two years.

2023 Update:
It has been two years since our Early Access started. Due to our optimistic ignorance we have announced too short of a development time. We still have many things to implement and fix. This will take some time. In order to avoid future disappointments, we would rather not give a date, even if vague.'

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

'The final version of The Slormancer will feature a complete adventure and rich end-game content. We plan to extend the bestiary with new enemy types and new bosses. New Legendary items, skills, and Achievements will also be introduced.'

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

'Players can already play 3 complete classes up to level 70 (out of 100), as well as access the first 5 tiers (out of 7) of the general skill tree of the game and allocate skill points for their class. More than 50 (out of 120) Slorm Reapers, which are unique weapons, are available to each class, as well as their primordial version.

Players can also find all types of equipment in the game, with dozens of different stats, as well as materials for the upgrade and crafting systems, which are also already present. 80 Legendary items, with unique effects, are also available (and we plan to add many, many more of those).

Most of the game's features are also integrated: dialogues, cinematics, non-player characters, combat, tutorials, the possibility to play with the mouse, the keyboard or the controller, everything is there.

Players currently have access to 4 acts of the story (out of 5) for now, which represents an experience of 12 to 15 hours. Endgame content is present, you will have access to 3 different Endgame modes: Battlefield Expeditions, The Slorm Temple and The Great Forge. All of which can keep you busy for dozens of hours.
There are 6 out of 7 environments now available and about 30+ different enemies.

The gameplay loop is complete: Players can now embark on an adventure, defeat monsters, find loot, level up, improve their skills, and start again, increasing the difficulty if they wish to.

Despite our best efforts, the game probably still has some bugs. Also, skills, items and enemies most likely lack proper balancing.

(Updated in April 2023)'

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

'We expect to increase the price of the game by an undetermined amount when it comes out of Early Access.'

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

'Since our first demo, we've made it a point to listen to all the relevant feedback from our players, which has already helped The Slormancer move in the right direction.
Players will be able to provide feedback on our Discord (https://discord.com/invite/tkYxSuB), or our Steam Community Page (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1104280/discussions/) where we will strive to be both accessible and receptive.'
