We have around 35 different types of creatures including monsters, animals and bosses.

“No definitive plans here yet, but it is likely that the price will be increased over the course of the Early Access period. The price may also increase moderately when we release with full features. We will try to keep the game accessible to all.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“We currently use the Steam forums as our primary ways to talk to our community. Players are welcome to suggest new features and modifications in the "ideas & suggestions" chat channel. Upcoming changes are openly discussed with the community for early feedback. A closed test-group of players have access to the latest builds of the game and work closely with the dev-team. The test-group evaluates and tests new features and changes before they are released publicly. We will continue to develop this process based on the needs and feedback of the community.”
