Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«ZOR explores some wild new ideas in the combination of cards, survival and tactics, so we want to have a period of community involvement before adding the full slate of content and meta progression. Things like balance, difficulty, quality of life will be a constant effort, but more importantly we want to get a clear understanding of what aspects of the game to invest in more, and which to adjust. (rather than make everything and find out we need to change half the game)
We want our early access period to be a demonstration of our integrity and passion as a developer. We plan to be focused and deliberate with each step, fully transparent, and make it fun to participate in.»

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

«9-12 months depending on where feedback takes us. See the roadmap for detaIls!»

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

«ZOR's early access will be polished, as bug free as possible and feel close to a complete game. It will have a tutorial, intro run, and a repeatable procedural mode called Pilgrimage.
At full release the game will have more content and bosses, a meta progression system, and the final narrative moments. Also steam features like achievements and cloud saves, will be supported by launch.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«Currently the game has the tutorial, an introductory trial, and the pilgrimage mode with three regions. A region is a unique environment and leg of the journey with a full slate of enemies and interactive objects. Currently the regions are: Rugged Steppes, Thrix Warren and Maddening Murk.
Also, core features like settings, widescreen support and save/load are implemented.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«The price has been reduced and will increase to it's full amount by a small amount twice between the beginning of early access and release. First when our major progression update goes live, and then finally just before full release.
We want to give extra value to those who are engaged early!»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«We will be very active on steam and discord discussions, will continue dev diaries which will shift to prompting discussion around upcoming features, as well as listening via our other social channels.
We intend to do a rotating schedule of updates between tuning (QoL, bugs, polish, UX) and new content. The intent of this is to keep our work focused and maintain high quality throughout. Secondly it will help focus the feedback and discussion so we can get the most out of it.
How the community responds to the game, and what people care about most will drive development up to launch.»
