Miksi Early Access?

Simple, because I would love for the players to help me out to define and improve the stuff to come as well as improve the stuff already in there. In general I would love to see what the players feel about the game as well as work along side the players in creating the best experience possible.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

Maximum for a year. In that time I hope I can collect valuable information from the users about their experience, polish the game experience as well as finish up the remaining stuff.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The core experience will be the same, but with way more polish and way more additions such as making the emergent narrative more interesting as well as adding more stuff to the world so the world would feel more dynamic and would have more data so there would be a possibility for creating more complex stories and a more complex world in general. I hope to create a way more complex game with the help of the players and their inputs and ideas. More content, improving the whole experience, polish and a lot of bug fixes are also planned in the full release.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Playable with most of the features there but lacking in more content, testing and polish and lacking in a couple extra iterations for some of the features and a lot of iterations for perfecting the emergent narrative and the dynamic world. As the game is meant to be re-playable and a ordinary game session should last a couple of hours, you will be able to finish a session from start to finish with the current content. The content that will be added will only improve the experience. Except the emergent narrative and the fully dynamic world which are currently basic and I hope on the players majorly affecting these, most of the other features are there and working(barring some bug which If found would be fixed ASAP), and the extra iterations will be only there to improve the player's game experience based on their feedback and ideas.
There are a like a 70quests, 50 encounters, 300 abilities, and 30 traits to be unlocked, 30 events that could have a big impact on the world, 50 city stories. Some of them need balancing, but they are all there. And there will be way more added later on, during the early access.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

It will have a higher price upon full release.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Despite what I said, I value the community, because I am part of that community. It's simple I listen because I want to be listened to. I will be lurking the Steam discussion board for any feedback you post and respond to all of them. Some of the features are planned to be complex and the whole world is planned to be highly dynamic and complex, so the players input and ideas are extremely valuable to the game because it's the only way to make this game great. Of course some ideas and feedback about the general feeling of the game, the pacing, the progression and the features already there will be incorporated too. The game is meant to provide a total freedom to the players and there is no reason why it shouldn't be like that in the development cycle too(of course to a certain limit).
