Varför Early Access?

“Unification is already fun and robust, and Early Access will make it better. Ideas and feedback from experienced roguelike and VR fans will be invaluable. It's currently in a beta state, so it's mostly bug-free and feature complete, but ready to break and grow in new dimensions.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“4-6 months. The current iteration of the game took 2 years to build a robust core system, and content additions are relatively straightforward from here.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“More biomes, enemies, items, bosses, meta upgrades. There are currently enough variations for new players to be engaged, but the goal is to create depth, accessibility, difficulty, and replayability for even the most experienced.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“

• 4 procedural biomes, with distinct enemies, traps, level designs, and rewards
  
• 3 momentum playground cosmic event biomes
  
• Colossal boss of the Cursed Tomb
  
• 8 dynamic weapons to blast a path through
  
• 6 game-changing upgrades for dreamlike power
  
• Fluid and complete movement and interaction systems
  
• A new experience each run

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

Balancing the game:

It should a challenge to complete, without being unfair. Getting feedback from experienced runners will ensure that challenge can't be bypassed or be too difficult to counter.

Suggestions and ideas:

The community is encouraged to suggest new content and design ideas. The possibility space of the systems of Unification are vast, and learning ways that players want to engage with the game will grow it along the strongest paths.

Bug hunting:

The game has been developed with rigorous playtesting, but not every interaction works exactly as expected. This is mostly due to a codebase that evolved as the game's potential was explored, and hasn't yet been fully refactored to the ideal systems. New content will also be ambitious, working with systems in previously-undefined ways, and will be strengthened by players noticing the new problems as they appear.

Test branches:

There will be two branches of Unification available for players. A beta branch for testing new ideas, and the default branch for rest of the community to enjoy once they go through patches and fixes.”
