Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'The basic single player game ("Last Survivor" mode) works, but I want to see if people like the gameplay first before adding more content. The mode could be enhanced with new levels, items, enemies and heroes to focus more on a rogue-like/lite experience.

And I'd like to know in which directions I should take the game:

"Fire Team (single player)": Focus on more complex gameplay and letting the player control up to four heroes with different skills and abilities to allow for more advanced problem-solving situations and gameplay variety.

"Fire Team (couch co-op): Allow up to four players split screen to have a fun local multiplayer option. This would be more like an extension to the above single player mode, but focus more on fun gameplay than on complex problem-solving.

"Escape from Hallas Prime": A single player story campaign complete with NPCs and in-game cutscenes to drive the story forward and give the opportunity for additional gameplay features like rescue or escort missions.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'This depends on which features of the above will be focused on. I plan to have a robust and complete single player mode by the end of 2021.

The couch co-op mode and the story mode (if requested) could take the game completion well into mid 2022.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The initial basic game is a single player Rogue-like experience.

Based on the interest for the proposed play modes ("Fire Team (single player)", "Fire Team (couch co-op), "Escape from Hallas Prime (story mode)") the game will get more complex gameplay, couch multiplayer and/or a story campaign

And based on feedback, general additions (levels, items, enemies) to enhance gameplay in all modes will be added.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The tutorial and the "Last Survivor" single player rogue-like mode are playable and in beta.

The other modes are still early alpha or at a proof-of-concept stage to let me determine if they were possible to realize.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'Yes, once it is finished, the price will be higher since the additional features will lead to a higher entertainment value for the player.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'I will need the feedback of the community in order to decide which of the additional gameplay modes should be realized and which additional features will make the best of the game.

I will use the Steam community discussions for the game in order to get feedback and share proposals with the players.'
