Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“The current version is polished, bugs are minimal, and core combat and interaction mechanics are already in place.

I could sell game as an arena shooter as is but this is not the way.

My philosophy is always quality over quantity, so the game is already enjoyable with the current combat build.

Current features:

- Unique VR combat: Fly, shoot, and wallrun in any direction
- Space, Atmospheric Flight, and Ground Combat
- 9+ Maps
- 10 enemy archetype (Melee Mechs, Assault Mechs, Mage Mechs, Capital Ships, Recon Ships, Dreadnaught Classes, Fighter Ships, Sea Ships, Tanks, Turrets) and many to come!
- Excellent Gunplay that works in air
- Flying, Shooting, 6DOF, Melee Combat
- Wall Running
- Free locomotion
- Laser Sword Dismemberment
- Multi Missle Lock On
- Laser Shield”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“Price will increase as content is added and milestones are met during Early Access.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“I want to create the most amazing mech VR combat game possible, so feedback and input from the community is mandatory.
Anyone who has ever watched mech themed anime knows the style of play I am going for.
Full Macross / Gundam Mech vs Mech combat.

The community is what will make Bakemono the best it can be, and I intend to use Steam, Reddit, and Discord as the central places for exchanging ideas and taking feedback.

It is my opinion that modding greatly add value to a game and is a necessity on Steam, extending lifespan and adding variety in ways a developer sometimes cannot, so it is my intent to make the game as openly moddable as possible.
I plan to add support for custom maps, new weapons and even the possibility for modders to add new game modes.”
