早期アクセスにした理由

“I believe that Early Access will allow Hot Tiles to be a better game at the time of release. With feedback from a larger audience I'll see what parts of the game require improvement, and players may request useful features which I didn't think of — I'll do my best to implement them.”

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？

“It will take roughly two-three months.”

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？

“I plan to implement several usability features, change some of the visuals and add sound. The full version will also have more achievements.

Gameplay-wise no major changes are planned, so if you do not like what the game offers right now, it's probably not worth purchasing for you.

Depending on your feedback the plans might change.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The core gameplay is ready. There are two game modes, you can select level sizes from 3x3 to 12x7, compete with your own highscores and earn some achievements. Puzzle progress can be saved to continue later.

There is no sound or background music right now.”

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？

“The price will most likely stay the same after the end of Early Access stage.”

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？

“I'll focus primarily on Steam community discussions and reviews since all players can easily access those.

From time to time I'll ask for opinions on implementing certain features or visuals, or if something should be customizable to fit more players.

Unfortunately, Steam does not allow polls so I might hold those at some external platform.

If players come up with interesting Achievement ideas, I'll add those to the game.”
