Varför Early Access?

“I’ve always loved early access games. The idea of being able to keep up with a developer while they worked was always really exciting for me. The idea that there could be a player out there eagerly awaiting every update is extremely motivating for me. There's also just not as much content as I'd like at the moment, but the game still has enough to offer to justify a release. Getting player feedback on which direction to take the final product is a large reason for early access as well.”

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

“It shouldn’t be more than a couple of months. 2022 at the latest. I’ll make sure to keep everyone up to date as the updates roll out.”

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

“The full version will hopefully be the ultimate cozy simulator. With different cozy weather systems such as rain and snow. Seasonal crops, a lo-fi music player, more fish types, deeper mines, pets, and many other things are planned. There will also be technical ways to play if you really get into the game, such as stocks, world records, real estate, and cutthroat item trading between shops. Currently the early access version is only basic fishing, mining, and farming in an eternally rainy town.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Currently the game contains fishing, breeding caught fish in a tank, chopping wood, keeping your user interface lit by feeding your fire, competing shops to buy and sell items, and a window to watch the rain. There are some lulls in play where you're just waiting for shops and things to refresh. Once I fully complete the farming and mining activities you'll have plenty to keep you busy.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“I feel that the price reflects the content offered. I may increase it in the future if the game changes massively but there are no plans at the moment.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“I'll be posting YouTube devlogs so players can keep up and offer suggestions in the video comments. I’m about to start daily TikTok vlogs and a Reddit forum for all my games. I check my Twitter and email every day as well if you need to reach out to me there for any reason, and as soon as I learn how to use Discord I may start up a page for Cozy Cabin.”
