Varför Early Access?

“We want to ensure players have an unique experience in OceanCraft - getting the right balance between survival, base building, cooking and teamplay requires involvement of many players. Therefore we decided to start early access - to get as much involvement as possible.”

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

“We are currently planning for the full release in about a year.
Depending on the feedback and new ideas we get from the community during the early access period, we might be faster, or decide to take more time for developement.
Ultimately we want the game to be a fun and stable experience for everyone and we would rather take more time, than release as soon as possible.”

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

“Our future plans for OceanCraft are to expand on the current base gameplay of surviving on your raft. This basically means, more items to craft, more fun interaction, more ressources, more surviving.
We can´t tell you any details yet, but there are some islands on the horizon, and hunger and thirst will not be the only things you have to worry about for long.
In addition to our personal plans we are of course also taking your feedback and ideas into account.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“This is the very first version of OceanCraft. We currently have the basic mulitplayer gameplay in, with some fun interactions and a handfull of items to craft.
Your currently have about an hour of gameplay, until you have seen all the current content (and can start again with a whole new raft)

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?
