早期アクセスにした理由

“We believe receiving feedback early as possible is the best way to make games. As our previous title, Shattered Hourglass, it took 8 years of feedback to build our ambitious dream JRPG. During the process we learned a valuable lesson, always listen to your community and be open to criticism.

Castle Greyrot is currently in Alpha, which means that we have a long way to build our game and plenty of space to grow. We want our supporters to be involved in the development such as providing feedback, suggestions and new ideas.”

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？

“Castle Greyrot will be in Early Access until we complete every chapter and feature available. We've been working on this project for over a year and we will need at least 12 months or even more.”

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？

“We would like to expand Castle Greyrot's universe and make it grand. By grand, we plan to make the content quadrupled in size. Boss battles, playable story chapters, unlockable characters, and challenging content.

• Over 50 Unique Boss Battles
  
• 16 Playable Characters
  
• 3+ Chapters with alternative paths
  
• Even more secrets and random events
  
• Post-game content to make you question your sanity
  
• Adventures: Get to know your party members and tackle new challenges
  
• Extreme Battles: Face your true nightmares and rage quit
  
• Trust System: By building relationships with your party members, they will help in battle even when they are not on your team

Depending on the development and feedback for the game we might add new features.”

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？

“We're looking forward to working with the community on several topics:

Balancing the game
We want Castle Greyrot as challenging as possible, full of unfair bosses and their gimmicks are the main thing. On the other hand, we want those fights to be balanced. We’re counting on the community to help us make it possible by polishing the hard edges.

Eliminate the bugs
We are working hard to make the game as bug-free as we can. However, our bug-free experience might not be the same for the other players. CRUSH THEM BUGS!

Suggestions
We are open to any idea that makes our game a better one. You can imagine us that we are a sponge and your ideas are the water.

Translations
Our final step is to localize the game to a wider audience. This one will be tough and will take so much time for us to make. We will let the community know that we need translators in the future.”
