Varför Early Access?

“So far this has been a one-person project for about two years, and I'm still looking to find out what players will make of this dueling system. I have my own idea of how to build on it in future, but first I need to learn what other people think needs changing or improving.

I also just want to start funding better visuals. My own modelling skills are limited, but now that the game is playable and all the basic features are in place, there's more room for me to just focus on improving those features. Then I can hopefully onboard better 3D art talent to touch up the models I've done so far, continue work on the Shibuya map, and expand 'Central' (the main map) to include more of Hong Kong.”

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

“Until autumn 2021.”

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

“More playable characters, more abilities to use in the boss duels, and a better sense of unique advantage to each combat ability. If all other aspects of development are proceeding without issue, I would also like to start working on a multiplayer feature.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The map called 'Central' is playable and should have a decent level of replayability, as enemy formations and spawn locations are both randomised.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“It'll be the same price throughout and after early access.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“More than anything to see how this dueling system debuts. I'll be looking over the Steam boards for any way in which players wish it were different or what they would like to see added to it. Of course, I'm also interested to hear if there are any lulls or awkward moments with the rest of the gameplay, and any bugs that need fixing. Other than that, I'll be keeping an eye out for any expressions of interest in a multiplayer feature, since I'm also interested in doing that.”
