De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„Early Access is good for this game because, while it is slowly becoming a full-fledged game, there is still much more work that needs to be done on it, especially the narrative and storyline and their respective places in the game. By getting the game out now, hopefully it can attract enough fans to allow us to properly finish the game, as it should be. We may make the content "episodic" to allow for smaller, shorter, easier-to-finish cycles of development.”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în Acces Timpuriu?

„Depends on how much time it takes to finish the story, dialogue and the remainder of the environment. We are hoping no more than 6 months. The dialogue will probably be the hardest part, requiring professional equipment we don't have easy access to in our locale.”

Ce diferențe vor fi între versiunea completă, finală și cea aflată în Acces Timpuriu?

„Full spoken dialog, a complete story and the full environment of the game are to be expected in the final release. In addition, the enemy AI and combat will be more highly polished with a much more solid, visceral feel. The VR experience itself (all teleportation-related issues, object intersection, object interaction, etc.) will also be tightened up and highly finalized. All weapons will be fully realized and implemented, all with stat upgrade levels. We are currently investigating the possibility of doing 2 player co-op playthrough.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în Acces Timpuriu?

„Between alpha and beta stages. Mostly playable with a few major and several minor bugs still intact. Roughly 2 - 4 hours of playtime before reaching end of currently implemented game features (ideally looking to make the story 6 - 10 hours long). The majority of the plot takes place on the main ranch, which is about 85-90% built (geometry, layout), and about 75-80% filled in (props, pickups, enemies, etc.).

Currently, we are unsure if the game runs properly on Oculus, so if you use Oculus, we are especially looking for feedback on how well the game runs.

Most weapons are fully implemented, including their stat levels and upgrades, except for a few that remain, like the bow and arrow, for example. Saving and loading the game state is not currently implemented, but it is close to being finished.

The puzzle level (selected at the beginning of the game) is not currently implemented, beyond a few small things. The action level of difficulty (also chosen at the beginning) is almost completely implemented and the scare level (again, also chosen at the beginning) is somewhere in-between, about 50-60% finished.”

Va avea jocul aflat în Acces Timpuriu un preț diferit față de versiunea finală?

„The game will be free for a limited time to encourage as many players as possible to download and try it (the Steam Playtest feature). After that, the game will still be relatively cheap during Early Access. Once the game has hit final release, however, the price will most likely be competitive with other similar titles. We plan on offering small DLC packs as time goes on that will continue the overall plot and build the story more, perhaps leading up to a sequel title.”

Cum dorești să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„Getting lots of feedback! There aren't necessarily many VR players in our home community, so we need as many play-testers as we can get! We especially want to get feedback on the story, gameplay, scariness, and overall fun.

The preferred place of contact for feedback will be right here on our Steam Community Discussion forum. Alternatively, our website is also a good place to send feedback, if you prefer. We are working on getting more social media platforms involved, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.”
