Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“In the full version of Armada, I have several key features planned. The largest of the bunch will be a dedicated points system and store, in which you can purchase boats, weapons, and special ammo. The points will work similarly to how they work in strategic fps games like CS:GO and Valorant, in which you gain points by defeating enemies and destroying boats, along with other side objectives to come in the future. After the game has ended, the points will transfer to a local high score, which will represent a combination of the playtime and skill of the player, and will not transfer between sessions of gameplay. Eventually, there will be a leaderboard of the highest ranked players, along with your own placing.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“Armada in its current state is very simplistic, with the main components of its combat and general gameplay. In its current form, the player is capable of taking control over the boat or one of the two cannons, and shooting them at other ships in an attempt to sink them. Or alternatively, the player can board the enemy boat and kill the other player with their sword. Other than that, the game is more akin to a demo or playtest than a true game, having no real end goal or incentive to play or succeed over your opponents. It is planned in the near future to provide true gameplay to players, but will currently reside in its very basic form as a way to gauge the primary aspects of the game, and narrow down what needs to change and what kind of bugs need to be fixed before I proceed.”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“I do not plan on changin the price unless I believe the final product is substantially better than the current early access version.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“The community will provide a crucial role in how I develop the game over its lifetime. As I want to provide an enjoyable experience for the majority of my playerbase, I want to take feedback from the steam community section that all games have and try to solve any problems the community discovers. Furthermore, I will be setting up a discord in the future if the community grows to a larger scale than I can handle alone, and can assist me in communicating with the players and even get new ideas as to how the game can build upon itself overall.”
