Wozu Early Access?

„Involving the community throughout development as early as possible is crucial to ensuring that the final game is the best it can be. Early access gives me the ability to do just that. As an open-world survival game I have seen the value that such a process has added to similar games of the genre. Therefore, Early Access seems like the best approach to creating Life Not Supported - for both the players and the developer.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„Making Life Not Supported the best version of the game it can be takes priority over aiming for an arbitrary date or time. However, the current rough estimate puts the full release at ~Q4 2024. This of course, is likely to change based on community feedback and requests.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The Early Access version of Life Not Supported introduces a solid foundation of the game I am trying to make. There are of course planned features, but with your guidance we can refine the roadmap to prioritise and add features that the community want.
The current plan for the full release is to have the following features:
• A full range of tiles and objects to craft and place.
• The ability to create airlocked spaces.
• More biomes with greater variety of debris and crafting recipes.
• More quality-of-life features as and when suggested
• Support for modding and basic modding tools if there's enough demand
The full roadmap is visible on the store page and on Trello via my website“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version of Life Not Supported is a solid foundation for the rest of the game to built upon. The current state includes (but not limited to) the following features:
• Online Co-op
• Scavenging
• Crafting
• Base Building
• Survival
• Ship Physics
• Ingame bug reporting and suggestion tool
All content should be considered work in progress and expect content and bug fixing updates throughout Early Access.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„There is no plan to increase the price or heavily discount the game during Early Access.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„The community is at the centre of development of any good game, especially in this genre. As such, the major decisions during development will be communicated and discussed within the Steam Community forum as well as the Life Not Supported specific Discord. This is also a public space for players to discuss changes that they want in the game - whether it be alterations to current design, completely new suggestions to be implemented, or bugs that they have encountered.
One major feature that has been added due to community demand is Online Co-op, which was originally planned much later in development but has been in the game now since the early access launch.“
