Чому дочасний доступ?

«“We want to make the best game we can, and even in beta we’ve learnt that working directly with our community is the best way to do that. Buoy is a huge world and we have lots that we want to add, and Early Access is a way for us to receive constant valuable feedback, collaborate with our players on what they want to see, and keep our players in mind at every step of the development cycle.”»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«“For at least one year, but depending on player feedback and the amount of content we choose to put into the final game, it may take longer.”»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

• Steam Achievements and Cards
• More environments and biomes
• More crafting recipes
• Additional features and updated systems to improve the entire experience”»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

Of course, while much of the game is present and working, we hope you understand that as Buoy is still in active development you may witness the odd bug, and features are subject to change.”»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«“We currently use our Discord server and the Steam forums as our primary ways to talk to our community. Players are welcome to suggest new features and modifications in the "ideas & suggestions" chat channel. Upcoming changes are openly discussed with the community for early feedback. A closed test-group of players have access to the latest builds of the game and work closely with the dev-team. The test-group evaluates and tests new features and changes before they are released publicly. We will continue to develop this process based on the needs and feedback of the community.”»
