早期アクセスにした理由

“We believe that you cannot create a great survival sandbox game without early player feedback. If you enjoy survival and open-world games as much as we do, you've probably noticed that many of the best survival games had an Early Access phase. Therefore, if we do Early Access, we simply try to offer you an already exciting and extensive game state with hundreds of items, obstacles, creatures, and NPCs, hoping that you like it and build the rest from there with your help.”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“The current final release target is summer 2022, but it depends a bit on the community feedback. But we aim for a final release in 12-18 months after the Early Access release.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“We plan to add more biomes, creatures, items, NPC shops, vehicles, mechs, and other asset content such as better dungeon puzzles and end bosses, as well as smarter AI factions and a better AI storyteller. We have to see what the community prioritizes but more playable heroes are planned too. Multiplayer and networking will be more stable. Some form of interplanetary space travel is planned, by the way, though we have to see how it fits into the overall experience.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“With 1000 items, 30 NPCs, 50 creatures, plants, and obstacles, there is enough to play already. You can see an extensive and hopefully well-designed UI design in the screenshot section, as well as how the character upgrade system and tech and skill systems work. First factions, ranging from humans to fantasy, to alien factions, are planned too. Procedurally generated planets with biomes such as grassland, forest, desert, as well as generated cities, generated dungeons, should not only keep you busy for dozens of hours but make every planet rather special. NPC trading, a simple form of questing, and a social system add to the overall sandbox experience, of which you see screenshots attached. Furthermore, we plan to include some early mech and vehicle gameplay, since we do not have horses in the game. Farming is a thing. Multiplayer is planned either at Early Access release or shortly after.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“Yep. We are thinking about a 33 % discount during Early Access.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“We will use Discord, weekly and monthly dev blogs, as well as player surveys for community feedback. We will also use a custom tool for in-game player feedback where the community can rate the feedback so that we can prioritize together with you.”
