Wozu Early Access?

„The nature of a game like Lost Isle lends itself perfectly to community collaboration, and there's not a better way of doing that in today's day and age than Early Access. The EA version of Lost Isle isn't without its flaws, but it is a strong foundation with immense potential, and working with our community by pooling together our hopes and ideas, we believe it will truly become great.

We talk often internally about how liberating it is to have created specifically a fantasy open-world survival game, because we can run with just about anything we can conceive. We're a small development team with a limited number of minds... imagine what we can come up with together with all of you! Whether it's as small and simple as a new cooking ingredient or as grandiose and complex as a new world boss, we want to hear your ideas and help bring them to life within the world of Lost Isle.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„Our current estimation is that Lost Isle will be ready to leave Early Access in about 2 years, but the most transparent answer is that it will remain in EA for as long as it takes. We want to spend enough time in continued development to meet - and hopefully exceed - expectations, ensuring that our players get a complete, satisfying experience.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Almost everything we have planned for development during Early Access is an improvement to and/or expansion upon existing systems. For example, our world map will include one biome - jungle - at the time of EA release, but we have several additional biomes like desert and tundra in the works with accompanying points of interest, wildlife, and enemies that we plan to release as free updates incrementally as they're completed. We also plan to vastly expand on world events to bring players together from across the server to overcome group challenges.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Lost Isle in its current state is technically feature complete with an expansive game loop, including plenty of early, mid, and end game content. During beta playtest access, some individual players of our demo logged from 80 to 200+ hours on a smaller map with fewer features than will be included in the Early Access version.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„The Early Access purchase price will be lower than the 1.0 purchase price due to the addition of planned features, gameplay, and quality of life improvements. Of course, anyone who purchases Lost Isle in EA will get the 1.0 updates for free and will not be required to make a second purchase.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We're very active in our Discord server where we regularly communicate with the community. We collect feedback there and take it seriously, as we've already implemented much of the feedback we've received. We also plan to host monthly developer AMA's, as well as releasing polls to get the community's input on upcoming feature development plans.“
