Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«I love making games in my spare time. I think early access will be a great way for me to get feedback on how I can do things better. Because I have done the entire game myself, I could really use some external feedback to help make the game great! I am hoping early access can bring forth a great game for people who love playing SCHMUPs and RPGs.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«This game is something I have been working on in my free time outside of family and work. I am hoping to finish the game by December 2020 if everything goes according to plan.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The things I want to add are:
FINALIZE STAT IMPLEMENTATION: Some stats are not fully implemented (experience and luck). I still need to figure out how these stats will affect the player du

MORE ENEMIES: Enemies with more intelligent AI systems. an example would be enemies that shoot directly at the players and some that curve in patters. Possibly boss type enemies with really stand out mechanics that are much harder to defeat.

3 MORE SECONDARY WEAPONS
The three secondary weapons I want to add are: Laser, Turret and Drone

1 MORE PRIMARY WEAPON
Eventually I will ad a primary weapon that forks 2 ways. Currently there is a forward shooting primary (cannon) and a 3 way shooting primary (blaster)

ACHIEVEMENTS!
I would love to figure out how to do achievements.

QUESTS!
I would like to try and make quests and daily quests to give the player something more to think about while playing. EXAMPLE: Kill 1000 enemies with a cannon weapon - get gems or experience points.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«I have always been a fan of RPG's and SCHMUP's and thought it would be a fun to make a mashup of the two. I really want to make Lux Intacta for people who like to play the games I like to play! Growing up playing video games all my life, I can remember how much fun my friends and I had playing games on each others couches and in the arcades. Lux Intacta is a game I wanted to make bring back those memories in a fun and exciting new way!

The things I know I need help with are:
1. Bugs: If people can point out bugs to me then I can fix them while the find more bugs. This will result in an incredible amount of help.
2. Usability: Does the UI and gameplay make sense. Are there some things that don't make sense or are hard to navigate?
3. Balancing: Which parts of the game seem out of wack? Are some enemies too weak? Are some weapons too powerful?
4. Ideas: I can't think of everything by myself and if people have ideas, I will always take them into consideration. This doesn't mean every idea will make it into the game but I am sure a few things will be obviously beneficial to the game!

I am hoping people will help me figure this one out. I have never had to manage a community and it is me by myself making this game. I have setup a discord and there is a support email. Send a message to my support email for more info.»
