Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«I'm a solo dev and this is my first full game release. I have put my heart and soul, and an immense amount of time into developing it and I want to make the best game I can. I feel that Early Access is a way for me to receive valuable feedback, collaborate with our players on what they want to see, and keep our players in mind at every step of the development cycle. I hope you give our game a shot and stick with me through the next year and help make Echoes the game it deserves to be!»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«I'm currently targeting a release in 2025, but depending upon on player feedback and the amount of content I choose to put into the final game from the community, it may take longer. My focus is delivering the best game and experience for the player that I can and that will always come first.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«I feel like I've developed an enjoyable set of core features and content that the player can enjoy. The full version will build upon what we have and further improve the game, delivering a game that players can truly appreciate. With our full release I plan to have:

• Full co-op multiplayer experience
  
• Additional Elemental Islands and dungeons
  
• More weapons, spells, and equipment
  
• Advanced Echoes
  
• New enemies and bosses
  
• Enemy AI Upgrade
  
• Additional player combos and combat options
  
• Full localization for: English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Polish, and Portuguese (BR)

I also have a roadmap of features that I hope to add in over the next year, a few of these ideas include:

• Pets and creature companions
  
• Town defense / island invasions
  
• More mini games / town activities
  
• Smelting / gear upgrades via the Blacksmith
  
• Additional magic based weapons / items
  
• Colosseum Wave Challenges (Endless Option)
  
• Bludgeoning Weapons (Maces / Great Hammers)
  
• Lots more!

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The Early Access version contains the core gameplay loop - a charming central town hub full of mini-games, guild upgrades, and perhaps some recognizable faces. Three distinct, replayable dungeon styles each with unique maps, enemies & bosses, and engaging combat encounters.

The game has 40+ weapons, 20+ sets of armor, 20+ necklaces, 40+ echoes (player perks), 30+ enemies, 20+ dungeon maps, 4 mini-games, dozens of combos, and endless ways to play how you want!

While I believe we're delivering a fun and solid gameplay loop, there is still work left to reach the final vision for the game.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«I have no plans to raise the price after release.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«Player feedback is critical to help me achieve our goals. I want to know every idea the community can come up with; I have a feedback board, a discord server, and active social media accounts as well as some steam discussion boards. I fully intend to rely on these sources to incorporate ideas and feedback from the community into the final game.»
