Wozu Early Access?

„I want to make a game people want to play, and enjoy playing.
This being my first game and a solo-developed venture, I wanted to get as much external input as possible.
Opening the game to the public at this stage allows me to gather feedback and examine the areas of the game that players want me to concentrate on.
Being an open-world type of game, I have have a large (64KM2) map that needs tp be populated with the types of shooting sports people want to play.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„18 -24 months.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Full compliment of unlockable popular weapons for each sport/discipline.
More sporting courses.
More trap games.
More simulated walked up game courses.
More simulated grouse and partridge butts.
More HFT courses
More pistol/rifle ranges, in different configurations. eg. indoor/outdoor, different target selection/presentation etc.
Hopefully multiplayer, if time allows.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Current features include: (as of 3rd Aug 2020)
64Km2 Open-world map, with seamless transition between gametypes.
Amphibious vehicle, to traverse land, rivers and lakes.
Skeet layout English rules Skeet.
Single Trap layout Single clay thrown, you can use the second barrel if you miss with the first.
Double Trap Layout Two clays thrown, two shots, potential of two kills.
Single Ball Trap Layout Also know as 'wobble trap' for obvious reasons, the Ball Trap oscillates in 2 axes, giving a random target presentation.
Double Ball Trap Layout. As Single Ball Trap, but releases pairs.
100 Yard Air gun range, featuring paper targets, metal knock-down targets, reactive (explosive) targets and static clays.
150 bird, 30 stand Sporting course (One course complete, more in the works) Traps/target launchers on all sporting stands controllable via remote control unit, available in practice mode. Allowing player to completely customise the target presentation, on all of the Sporting stands, throughout the whole game.
Simulated grouse and partridge stands, with high-volume drives on each stand.
Hunter Field Target course one (of 3) features 15 stands with 2 targets per stand. Points are scored based on which part of the target is hit.
1000 Yard Centrefire range. Good luck trying to reach the end of this range with a 12ftlbs air gun, let alone hit any targets. The 1000 Yard Centrefire range is best suited to powder-burning, fire-breathing rifles.
Flurry Trailer - The Flurry trailer hooks up to the back of the off-roader and can be towed anywhere on the map. The trailer is mounted with three traps, which can be controlled by the player, via the launcher remote control unit.
At present only the Sporting course has a full scoring system, but work is being done on adding the same functionality to the scoring for all gametypes.

Guns: Obviously more are in the works, but currently I have a break-barrel air rifle. Over & Under shotgun. Bolt action centrefire rifle.
A laser range finder is also available now, and can be found on the counter, in gunroom 1.

No proper UI or progression system yet, just a score that resets each time the game is closed.
The majority of the map landscape has been created, and is currently being populated with game types, arcitechture and props.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Upon full release the price of the game will increase.“
