Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«“Tavern Keeper Simulator was built to release in Early Access. This game was designed around adding more content and features as the game and audience grows. We want to keep that development open and inviting to player contributions. While we don't plan on staying Early Access forever, it's a great way to let players experience the game and leave feedback as we continue building new areas to explore, new items to discover and new challenges to overcome.”»

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

«Given our development roadmap, we expect the game to only be in Early Access for 1 to 2 years. However, as this is our first full-scale title this timeframe may change as things progress. We'll keep our audience up to date on the progress as we go. Players will also have access to a development roadmap so they can track upcoming features and content.»

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

«When Tavern Keeper Simulator launches in Early Access we will be able to offer a solid build of the game that feels like a finished game as far as features go. But we have bigger dreams for the game and we plan on expanding on every aspect as well as adding entirely new features to create the game we're envisioning.

Each month we plan to release a large update containing either a feature update that adds more mechanics or features to the game to change the way you play or a content update with new recipes, new characters, and new items so you can explore more of the job of the keeper.

We plan to have hundreds of items to craft, dozens of characters to serve, and more.

Our roadmap will be publicly available throughout the development»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The current state of the game is very playable. The game's core mechanics are nearly entirely finished but lacking polish and balancing.

All core features are currently implemented:
* Customer's AI and reactions
* Food serving
* Food crafting
* Premises cleaning
* Furniture placement and shopping»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«We believe players are taking a leap of faith when purchasing a game in Early Access. We also understand that they'll be suffering through some bugs and providing feedback in order to make the game better. Because of this, we understand our game is a bit of a gamble and that's why we're offering the game at a cheaper price than the finished version. We plan on gradually increasing the price as we ship new content and features.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«We plan on involve players to give their feedback and input on every aspect of the game with Steam throughout Early Access. We hope you'll join us in the development process to shape the job of tavern keeper into exactly what we all want it to be.

We plan to keep all community communication within Steam integrated options like forums and community pages.»
