Varför Early Access?

“Hi, thank you for taking interest in Ayu!

Ayu - The Dream Soul - is a surreal horror exploration game, and it's inspired by the old japanese RPG Maker horror games.

My goal with Ayu is to make an interesting and emotional experience with a mysterious and well developed plot.

The game is being initially released as Early Access because I'm the only person working on the project, and I want all of you to start experiencing this project as soon as possible!”

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

“Unfortunately I'm not sure, we're currently needing an artist and a music composer for the game, until there, the development of the game will be inevitably slow.”

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

“Here is a list of all the things planned to be implemented over the time of development:
-More dream worlds to explore.
-More Items.
-More Mechanics.
-Cutscenes.
-Mysteries and Easter Eggs.
-Steam Cloud.
-Steam Achievements.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Ayu is currently on version 0.0.5! Here is the list of implemented features:
-1 Flashback/Cutscene.
-3 Dream Worlds.
-2 Puzzles.
-Coins.
-Treasure Chests.
-Item Shop.
-Inventory.
-Steam Overlay.
-Main Menu.
-Pause.
-Save Game/Load Game.
-Checkbox for Fullscreen mode.
-Volume Adjustment.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“The Early Access phase of Ayu will be cheaper than the full version, simply because it has less content, so your best opportunity to support Ayu is during the Early Access phase!”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“When we can finally get a faster development on Ayu, I plan on creating a Discord server for the community, there, the community will be able to interact with each other, as well as asking any questions regarding the development of Ayu!

And of course, all the notes for updates and changes will be available on Steam.”
