Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„It's time to finally get Luminary into the hands of the public. Over the Years we have made huge progress on the systems and game mechanics of Luminary, but by the time of our early access release, we will be lacking artwork and content. The main systems and playability will be there, but we will be reusing models for multiple purposes, for example using simple color changes to help differentiate between versions and levels of weapons or armor. There will be a lack of variety in bosses and enemies, a basic level of character customization and animations, blocked off areas of the world map, etc. But it's time to test our game in the real world, and make sure all our online multiplayer work is performing as expected. And with the communities help to guide us, we will be able to release a game we are truly happy with, and one many people have been waiting years for.”

Mniej więcej jak długo gra będzie w fazie wczesnego dostępu?

„After Early Access release, we are initially planning for 1 year until an official release. But if the early access is a bigger success than expected and the community wants us to go bigger with our content, we may add an additional time for that.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„The Early Access version of Luminary will showcase the overall experience of playing Luminary. The online drop in drop out co-op multiplayer will be functioning, basic character customization, basic combat, basic economy and job/tasks like mining, basic character progression through leveling, and places to explore, enemy camps to destroy, Life trees to save and Towers to unlock. All of the main systems will be in the stages of development, but in a working order.

The official full release of Luminary will have all of these systems fully fleshed out and more robust. Much more artwork and verity of models, enemies, locations, weapon sets, armor sets, animations, additional fun mechanics etc. will be added. Bugs that come up will be squashed, and we will aim for a fluid and enjoyable multiplayer ARPG experience, that will lead to hours of fun, whether you are playing solo or with friends and family.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„Alpha/Beta stage. Main systems will be in an working order, but artwork and variety not finished. We will have some bugs that need to be found and squashed, or user experiences and progression tweaked, but the game will be very playable, and tone will be set. We want the world to always feel like Luminary. There will just be MORE added to the world over time.”

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?

„Yes. Because the community buying into early access of Luminary will be getting a more limited experience than the final release version, and will be helping us to build a better game in the long run, it only makes sense to reward those early adopters with access to our game at a cheaper price. This will last until the EA version of the game gets closer to the official launch version in terms of quality and content.”

Jak zamierzacie włączyć społeczność w wasz proces tworzenia?

„Absolutely. We have already been working with our close community and getting their feedback, and we are looking forward to that community growing by getting an early access release into the hands of the public. We will take all requests into consideration, and hammer out as many bugs as they can find!”
