Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«CLAN WARS is in Early Access Alpha stage, we are looking for bug testers and users willing to commit time to making this game the best Shooter MOBA.

Ultimately this project is a massive undertaking which will take a plethora of years to fully develop, and even then it will never be a finished product. We will always strive to make this game the best in its competitive genre of MOBA's. What makes our game different is how similar it is to an RPG in-game, with item crafting, world exploration/harvesting and in-game currency/experience. At the same time, it has the same end-goal as most MOBA's which is to destroy the other teams base.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«The game will be in early access until approximately mid to late-year 2022 depending on how quickly bugs are solved and progress is made.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«We plan to have a full version that includes multiple playable characters, a full shopkeeper/blacksmith, a clan system in which 3v3 clan matches will take place so you can raise your clan through the ranks of the leaderboard. We plan to keep the game free to play with a huge emphasis on keeping the community engaged and active in the overall development of the game.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«We are currently in an Alpha phase in which bugs are being worked out and user input is absolutely critical to the games overall success. Currently players are able to login via steam, create a player name, enter an online queue system which proceeds to a lobby where players can chat and prepare for the 3v3 match. This chat system also features a friend list, block list, and universal chat room. Post-match progress is automatically saved to each users account so they can pick up where they left off.

The match is the same conceptually to other MOBA games, in which there are 2 teams fighting against one another trying to destroy the other viking clans nordstone. The nordstone is similar to a nexus in League of Legends. There are AI minions that spawn in regular intervals and go down each lane for both teams and fight eachother while the match is going on. Once the nordstone is destroyed, one team is declared a winner and all players receive experience for playing.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«We plan to keep the game free to play both in the early-access as well as the full version. The reason I want this game to stay free to play is because I'm looking for the community to help build the game with me, I do not want a short-term game to develop and call a 'final product'. This is a game that I plan to continuously develop for as long as there's a community to support it.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«The community will be the leaders of the overall direction of this game. As the developer I am heavily leaning on the community to offer advice for gameplay and improvements to make this game the best it can be. Currently it is setup as a 3 Lane, 3v3 MOBA in which players have the option of PVP and PVE all in the same map. Of course there is plenty of room for expansion based on community thoughts. Discussion on discord, the game itself, and on our forum board will be the main drivers of communication between game development and community input.»
