早期アクセスにした理由

“I'm using an iterative approach to game development where player feedback will heavily influence how/what features are implemented in Inward. The first stage of public release will include a large portion of the game built upon a solid foundation, which will evolve with player feedback.”

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？

“It's difficult to have an exact time since it's dependent on player feedback, but I hope for Inward to be in Early Access for no longer than 6 months to a year.”

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？

“Depending on player feedback, I'm looking to implement features related to:

• habit building
  
• Mental healing
  
• Recording system (to record realisations, meaningful memories, and affirmations) to help build daily remembrance routines.
  
• New world customisations for sanctuary building
  
• Multiplayer integration (visit friend's sanctuary, and group meditations)

These are some of the core features you can expect me to explore over the next year, but which of these features I will be implementing will depend heavily on player feedback on the core game.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“A large portion of the game is completed with a solid foundation. You can expect most of the game features including dynamic meditation and world evolution, to be completed and working.”

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？

“Yes. Price may increase moderately when Inward is released, depending on the number of new features added before release. This is still to be confirmed, however, and there is a good chance that the final release on the desktop will remain free.”

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？

“Community feedback will be central to the development and evolution of Inward. I will be actively collecting feedback from players through the game, and all feedback will be tracked on our Nolt board. As with my last game Playne, I will be building Inward iteratively by collecting feedback regularly and adjusting features and approaches accordingly.”
