Wozu Early Access?

„Book of Travels is in Early Access because it’s a living project and a way for us to involve our community in shaping the world of Braided Shore – as well as partly fund the studio during development.

Much like a gamemaster in a pen and paper roleplaying campaign, we will shape the experience to accommodate, surprise or challenge players.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We plan to be in Early Access for around 2 years. A period we call “Chapter Zero”.

Full release will mark the start of “Chapter One”. It will be available once the game world is a lot, lot bigger and we have added the features, stories and changes we envision the final game to have. The game must become “smoother” with better feedback and flow for us to deem it ready for full release.

However, Chapter One is just the beginning. Our goal is to expand the game world, add continents and civilisations, new features and single player campaigns. All depending on where we choose to steer the course, together.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Full release is a state of quality and stability, but it will also mark a huge difference in the amount of content. We will add everything from new areas, features, playable forms to small convenience tweaks, all available to read about in the Steam Announcement Our Early Access Journey – The Details (or scroll down to view an abbreviated version under “About this game”).“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Currently the game includes the core gameplay elements but it needs further stability and polish. Most of all we believe the experience needs more “things to do” and many more areas to explore. We hope that players can see our ambition and to feel the direction that we are headed towards in the current game.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Yes. We plan to gradually raise the price when we do large updates to the game. We also aim to offer various paid DLCs along the way that you can pick up during your journey.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„Book of Travels was born as a Kickstarter project and our roots and dedication to our community is everything. We plan on having an active dialogue at all times via our Discord Server and the Steam forums. We also take different forms of input from the community via an in-game menu that ends up on our public Trello board.“
