Почему ранний доступ?

«The Temple Of is an evolving experience. It will need as much feedback as it can receive as development continues. The game is designed to be greatly influenced by its players - why not include them in its production?»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«Roughly 6 months. Development has progressed enough to allow for open public feedback, but is not yet ready for full release. Some features (including an in-game marketplace and potential tomb customization options) must wait till the foundation is stable. Half a year should be enough time to iron out the kinks and identify which aspect of the project should be highlighted.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«This project is about a bond between community content and procedural generation at its core. These things take time to adapt to one another. The algorithm for level generation must be perfected and player made tombs (incorporated into the level design) must become more accessible.

Player-Made Tombs: At the moment, the player-made tomb designer is only accessible (one instance at a time) after beating the twentieth tomb. Players should have access to this tool from the start. The building blocks at the player's disposal within the designer will be (If Things go according to plan), eventually, tied to the overall gameplay experience (ie: the player finds an ancient artifact, the player can either sell it in the black market or add it to their custom tomb). Disclaimer: While the improved and more accessible version of the Player-Made Tomb Designer is a part of the plan, there is no guarantee that it will be eventually included

.This, coupled with fixed bugs, optimization, and player/tomb customization (guns, skins, tomb style/culture, tools, etc) from the "curator" menu are part of the plans to be included in the full version

All features listed below are planned ideas, but are still subject to change

.Curator - player and gameplay customization

.Black Market - marketplace to buy and sell Curator or Tomb Designer items

.Tomb Designer - a level designer to customize rooms that get added to the global tomb generation database

.Multiplayer - Two or more players can work together to complete the game and reap the reward»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«This phase is all about public feedback. What features are fun and which are aggravating? This project is years in the making. Time for it to see some light.

The game's foundation has been laid. Full gameplay (start to finish) is already present. There are procedural content additions on a weekly to monthly basis. The Player-Made Tomb Designer is included at the game's end (hard as that may be to reach). An adventure with countless weapons, puzzles, natural disasters, treasures, monsters, and environments (fully procedurally generated) has already been built.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«The pricing will increase after Early Access is over. The time to begin (and assist with) the adventure is now.»
