De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„We here at White Mage Games would love to devote 100% of our time and have 100+ people working on Typo, however, as a small studio, we can do neither. Fortunately though, whilst we may be few, we do have the drive! The reason we have decided to make Typo early access is simple, in doing so we can develop the game and get all of your feedback at the same time, allowing us to deliver a great experience at our own pace!

With our somewhat small team, early access will give us the opportunity to work towards realistic deadlines and stay within our allocated budgets. It means that we won't have to rush things and that we will also be able to get a whole bunch of invaluable feedback. This will help us with our goals of creating a full game as opposed to a small linear story. We want the outcome to have varied endings to each chapter and for people to want to replay Typo to experience them all!”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în Acces Timpuriu?

„Could be a month, more like a year, but not much longer :)

We aim to take the game out of early access once we have a finalised system for the games various 'chapters' and also at least, 3 chapters to go along with it. We keep asking ourselves "Does this feel like a polished game?" and if the answer is no, we keep working on those key features until they do, but until the answer stops being no, we will remain in early access.”

Ce diferențe vor fi între versiunea completă, finală și cea aflată în Acces Timpuriu?

„In its current state, it's almost tech-demo-y. The actual game will incorporate a rich storyline that will explore the intricacies of Athena and the world she has created. This will work in a chapter-style system (like small levels) and will allow the player to freely hop, skip, and jump their way around the game, revisiting parts that they really enjoyed.

There will also be much more interaction with the world, bringing in dexterity puzzles and allowing the player to move around their environment. But nothing feature related is as of yet confirmed.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în Acces Timpuriu?

„It's OK, it's very 'proof of concept' and doesn't include a lot of that aforementioned richness. There aren't chapters yet and the play is fairly limited. We want to be honest with and say that there isn't much now, but there is a LOT to come. The current state of the game reflects what Typo will one day be, but at the moment it is merely a toddler finding its place in the world.”

Va avea jocul aflat în Acces Timpuriu un preț diferit față de versiunea finală?

„Yes. With the release of Typo into early access, it isn't a finished game, therefore we would never expect anyone to pay the price of a 'full game' for it. However, as Typo progresses, the price will change once deemed necessary, to reflect the complexity and time spent on developing Typo.

We want to make a promise and say that the game will always be kept at a price we consider fair, something that we would want to pay, and therefore we will be humble to our indie origins. At the end of the day, we are some people who love making games, not EA.”
