早期アクセスにした理由

““When we first released the FarmZone prototype, we were simply amazed and overwhelmed by the incredible response from players around the world. Inspired by the community’s support and active feedback, we knew we had a responsibility to grow FarmZone into the fully realized survival experience those fans deserved. With development now moving at full speed, it’s more important than ever that the community continues to share its valuable feedback with us and that we’re able to incorporate those ideas as quickly as possible. That’s why Early Access was clearly a great platform for this game and now we can continue the FarmZone journey together!””

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

““One of the most appealing aspects of Early Access was the ability to shape FarmZone together with the community, alongside our own ambitions for features and mechanics that we’d like to add to the game. Consequently, we’ve decided to keep our schedule fairly flexible so that the development team and community can best mould the FarmZone experience that we all want to see! According to our plans, FarmZone will be out of early access approximately one year after the game launches. In September 2022, the game will be out of early access.””

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

““The Early Access version introduces a solid foundation for FarmZone. Now with your support, we plan to build an even more unique and exciting experience filled with fun moments and perilous adventure! First, we plan to dust off our compasses and embark on an epic quest with the introduction of landmarks; players will gather clues, set their coordinates and FarmZone towards mysterious destinations! Players will discover stranded ships, sunken cities and caverns filled with treasure, including blueprints for crafting new weapons and equipment! Additional wildlife and other dangers will bring more challenge and new ways to defend your FarmZone. You might even discover a stray animal to accompany you on your journey…
Equally exciting is our plan to offer players complete creative freedom in Creative Mode, a relaxing experience where supplies are unlimited and danger all but removed. Coupled with Steam Workshop integration, Creative Mode will allow you and your friends to really express your craftsmanship together! Above all, we promise to use the Early Access period to listen to you and your feedback in order to develop FarmZone towards a combined vision.””

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

““With the feedback we were able to gather from the initial prototype, we’ve committed significant development time to ensure that the improved version of FarmZone is one that fans will really enjoy. Many core mechanics and features are present and polished, but now we want your help to bring the final pieces in to place! The Early Access version of FarmZone
boasts a boat-load of items to craft, crops to grow, underwater secrets to explore, a solid building system and much more! Of course, while much of the game is present and working, we hope you understand that as FarmZone is still in active development you may witness the odd bug, and features are subject to change.””

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

““While the increasing size and scope of the FarmZone experience may in future alter the price for late adopters, players who join us during the Early Access period will absolutely have access to the full version of the game, however large it grows! We anticipate a small increase in price with new features once FarmZone comes out of early access.””

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

““During the early development of FarmZone we’re proud to have developed a reputation for keeping a close relationship with our community. We’ll of course continue this relationship during the Early Access period with regular blog posts detailing development progress and active appearances on the Steam community forums. We also have a Facebook and Twitter page where you can write to us. We will do our absolute best to answer as many of your messages as we can and promise to do our best to take your feedback and ideas into consideration, because we believe that it will lead to the best possible game!””
