Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'We strongly believe in close communication between developers and players.

We wish to continue to add more rogue-lite elements to Micro Annihilation, by adding more options and unexpected events. We see this as an iterative process, and it would be best to have player feedback as we implement those exciting new features.

Early Access is well suited to meld Micro Annihilation's future between our own desires and our players' desires.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Given our current desired features, our current schedule dictates the release would be July 2021.

We acknowledge there is plenty of potential depth to add, given the rogue-lite direction we wish to go. It is expected that we will be adding a variety of features, large and small, during early access based on community feedback. Due to this, we cannot guarantee the July 2021 date.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Here is a tentative list of features we have slated, which would be produced during early access:

• Hand-crafted missions, to act as an introduction, finale, and various special events.
  
• AI generals for both player and enemy factions. Each general will have their own personalities and strategies, adding variety to the missions, similar to RTS multiplayer matches.
  
• New mission types, again, adding variety and opportunities for players to exploit.
  
• New enemy factions. The main antagonist is composed of several subfactions, each with their own units with their own strengths and weaknesses. Upon early access launch, we will only have two, of the at five planned. We also have whole new factions that are scheduled to be added.
  
• New player units and technologies. Inevitably, you will need more powerful equipment to keep up with the new enemies!
  
• New random events that can occur during a mission or during the world map.
  
• More randomly generated map types, particularly indoor maps.

'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'We will likely increase the price of the game as major features are added.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'We firmly believe that for Micro Annihilation to grow, community involvement is mandatory.

The best way to get involved is to join us on our Discord: https://discord.gg/AMTKx9R

We regularly post updates on what we're working on, and release new content. We encourage players to discuss how they play, and what they would like to see next in our Discord.

We take all feedback seriously, and blend it with our own vision and capabilities, resulting in what is available today.'
