Varför Early Access?

“Kyma is now advanced enough to be playable. I offer early access to finish its development based on feedback from players who are ready to face some bugs and a gameplay that may change a lot on some points. The goal is to make the game as stable, and clean as possible with optimization for the final release. This is a relatively ambitious game for a single developer, and I am perfectly aware that I might have surprises, especially at the release, despite a closed alpha already achieved. This early access allows me to talk to more motivated players, who will have relevant feedback on the gameplay, the content, the balancing of resources and the stability of the game.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“I expect early access to be finished in roughly a year.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The final version will differ essentially in the amount of content (there will be more quests, more events, more opportunities with villagers, more furnitures and plants, and the main story will be finished). It will also be a much more stable and optimized game. The beginning of the story that is currently implemented will be improved. Other additions may be considered based on players feedback, mainly for balancing and gameplay improvement.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The current version of Kyma Maker’s Island allows the player to explore a randomly generated island with ability to change some generation settings. The player shape this island by crafting or buying objects and constructions. There is a learning system with books that can be purchased with trust. This trust can be earned from the villagers by doing various quests for them. The books, found in the training center, will allow you to move forward in the beginning of the story. The story is only partially implemented and the beginning may change a bit.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Price will increase moderately at the final release.”
