Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«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.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«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.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«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.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«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.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

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

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«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.»
