早期アクセスにした理由

“Early Access allows us to release the game and tune it with real players. This is especially important for a multiplayer game like Utopos, where the gameplay will involve up to 8, and possibly even more, players simultaneously. The first release has up to 4 players in a fight and we'll increase the limit and add more game modes over time.”

このゲームは大体どのくらいの期間早期アクセスですか？

“The early access period for Utopos might be quite short, possibly about 3 months, but no guarantees! Our previous game, URG, was scheduled to be in Early Access for 6 months, but in the end, it took 13 months before the full version was released.”

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？

“The Early Access game will launch will one online arena, which will allow us to tune the gameplay. Once the game runs perfectly and both us, and the players, are happy with it, we plan on creating multiple arenas for the full release. The full release will likely also feature more ships and more weapons.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The first release of the Early Access version is fully playable with up to 8 players. We have persistent player data storage in the cloud, and all the core components of the game are working. We have not done large-scale testing and currently do not know how many players we could support at maximum, how well the gameplay works if players are on different continents, etc.”

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？

“The Early Access pricing is reduced compared to the final release. Our previous game saw price double when it left Early Access. We have not made the final decision on the pricing of Utopos yet.”
