Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'The game (including its persistent universe) has been released on our platform and is being played for more than a year. As for a MMO game, we plan to continuously add new content and incorporate player feedback throughout its life, but some important elements are still needed in order to balance the economy even in its current state.

In particular, for some of the in-game items, there are only producers, or only consumers, leading to global market imbalances and requiring price interventions from us. For example, there is no producing building for shields (blacksmith makes only swords for now), and the prices tend to grow constantly until we reset them, affecting any long term strategic planning that a player may employ.

We want to keep the game in Early Access until we close the economic loops for the currently available in-game items (see bellow for a list of features). The result should be a fully balanced supply / demand player driven economy, which sits at the core of Cave to Kingdom's concept.

After exiting Early Access we will continue to add more content as mentioned, but we will release producers & consumers at the same time, in order to keep the game balanced at all times.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We will bring the game out of early access when we will close the economic loop for building materials and for war equipment. This should happen before or during Q2 of 2020.'

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

'The game is fully playable and contains all the features that are mentioned in the description, and more. We do lack proper documentation for now, as our main communication channel has been through release announcements and change logs.'

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

'In-app prices will not change due to exiting Early Access on Steam. Our general policy has been to gradually decrease building license prices as we released more buildings, and we plan to continue using it.'

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

'We will very carefully consider all feedback received from Steam users. Although we do have our own website and forums, our moderators will also interact with the players on the Steam Community pages.'
