早期アクセスにした理由

“We know that people want to make tea for cats as much as we do, so we want to be transparent about the challenges in building a studio and making a game on a part-time budget. We felt that Early Access was the best solution to support the studio and our values while working together with the players to create the best version of the game possible.

If you’ve been with us since the beginning or you’re just discovering us now, thank you-- not only for supporting and trusting us, but for joining us on our development journey!”

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？

“We can’t guarantee that the game will be priced the same after Early Access, but we want to make sure that our game is priced fairly. It is important to us that those who support us during Early Access feel that their involvement in our game’s development was worthwhile.

We hope that if you’ve purchased our game in Early Access, that means that you’re excited to play our game and understand that it is still under development. If you’re looking for a more fully polished experience, we understand if you want to wait until the game’s full release in 2024, and we look forward to seeing you then!”
