Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'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.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'The game has been in early access for about 2 years now and has seen major content updates and reworks based on what we have learned. The 0.95 patch in October of 2024 is the last patch before 1.0 which will arrive in 2025.'

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

'ZOR's early access has been polished, as bug free as possible. It currently is very close to the final game, minus some content and steam features.
At full release the game will have the final wave of content, and support steam features like achievements.'

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

'Currently the game has a tutorial, an introductory trial, and then the main mode which takes you through 3 legs made from a possible 6 regions. A region is a unique environment and leg of the journey with it's own enemies, bosses, and interactive objects.
The Astrolabe progression system offers many game changing perk effects to unlock through in game challenges. Also, there are currently 6 additional Slorf characters with unique traits you can unlock.'

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

'The price will not change between now and release.'

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

'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.'
