Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«We're veteran indie creators, and we know how to release quality games even on no budget at all. But this time we want to do things a little differently. With Zone, we want to take our time, put player experience first, and involve the community in its development. We want your help and feedback in making something you want to play.»

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

«We're expecting approx. 1 year of further development after our initial EA launch to reach our vision for the game.»

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

«We've got a lot of exciting ideas for great new features, as well as expanding the ones we already have. Some of our potential goals include:

• Many more items, cards, and abilities
  
• Character creation, custom avatars
  
• More survival elements
  
• Potentially, paper-doll sprites that reflect your outfit

However, our focus will always be on the core gameplay -- keeping it fun, and our scope realistic. Finishing the game is more important than nice extra bits.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features, reflecting the state and progress of the game.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«The players are the most important part of a game. More than just bug reports, we want to actively involve everyone, listen to your ideas and recommendations, and even incorporate community-made content.

We plan to maintain active Steam forums and a Discord server to communicate with players. Expect things like polls to decide which features we should focus on next, contests for people to submit ideas for new items and anomalies, and our designers working closely with the community to balance the gameplay for maximum fun.»
