Wozu Early Access?

„By putting Foxen Island in Early Access it means people get to play it much sooner than if waited until we had a complete finished game, which means we get feedback from the people who count the most, you players!

It's going to sound glib, but a games reason for being is to be played, we want you to be playing Foxen rather than just reading about it :)“

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

„We're looking for a winter 2021 release, that's the ideal.
With the world as it is right now, plus being a sole developer who has to take freelance jobs in the meantime to pay the bills, that may slip, but that will be communicated as soon as it's possible to do so.
Because of the way the game is split up over 4 seasons there shouldn't be a huge wait between each new content drop.“

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

„The island is going to be split into four distinct zones / levels, based on seasons.
Currently we have Summer virtually content complete.

Fall, Winter and Spring will all have unique puzzles and collectables along with more story as we uncover the secrets of the island.
Also we're looking at adding features common to all levels which aren't currently in the game, such as chasing other woodland animals in mini-races, stats so you can see how many days you've been exploring and so on.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Currently we have a "Vertical slice", that's an almost complete level.
It's playable in it's current state, it has all the hidden items, the puzzle and collectables we expect to launch with for level 1 (Not counting the additional items mentioned above)“

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

„The early access price will always reflect that it's in an alpha state, there may be a gradual increase as we add more content towards a full launch.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We want to hear from your guys both here and via Twitter. As the game expands and grows we'll look to add additional ways of chatting directly to you.“
