Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«Xenrai is a good fit for early access because it has completed alpha and beta testing, is a completed story that offers a finished experience to players, but that still requires refinement and possible expansion based on player feedback. We want to add polish, and more diversity in gameplay experiences during the campaign section of the game.»

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

«Xenrai will be in early access until we feel that we have managed to take the community feedback and have used it to polish the game to an exceptional standard. This may take six months or more.»

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

«The full version of Xenrai will differ from the early access version by offering a more polished player experience, better tuned mechanics, and a more fleshed out second character and enemy roster. Based on player feedback we will also look at altering the game modes outside of the main story mode. We are going to release Xenrai during early access localized to English and Japanese. For final release we plan to localize to Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Korean, Spanish, and French. Depending on player feedback/demand we may add additional languages.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«Xenrai has a fully playable story with 30 cutscenes and two game modes. It has deep and engaging combat that takes place in a world with 15 levels in the main story, and a challenge mode with ramping difficulty that allows the player to use power ups from their campaign progression. The current estimated playtime is between 10-20 hours. It's near completion, but we hope to utilize this access to community feedback to make the game even better.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«Xenrai will be a lower price in early access. We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features for full release. There is also an original soundtrack that we will be releasing. We plan to offer a bundle where you can get both the game and the soundtrack together at a price lower than the two individually.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«Players are encouraged to join the Xenrai discord and online forums, where we will take into account feedback and use it to improve both the game, and the community itself. Members can directly communicate with the developers through text and voice channels as well as participate in contests and polls. We want to work with players to improve game balance, fix any bugs and gather new ideas for enemies to fight and environments to traverse.»
