Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'AS ABOVE, SO BELOW is a next generation, unique, story driven survival horror game featuring intense graphics, unique enemies, complex game mechanics, and realistic survival features. Being a small but experienced team, we strive to bring innovation and perfection into our game production, and have decided to develop AS ABOVE SO BELOW in collaboration with its community with the end goal being the best possible survival horror game yet.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'AS ABOVE, SO BELOW will be in development / testing at a minimum of one full year during Early Access. Our team feels it is important to complete all planned features and content in a timely manner. Our community is also the core of our game. As we move through Early Access our final release date may be extended based on feedback, suggestions, and new implementations from the team and the community.'

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

'Our team has a wealth of unique features planned, and a multitude of content additions to be added for AS ABOVE, SO BELOW during each stage of development. Some of these key features will be available when in Early Access, while others will be adjusted and tweaked in the following stages of development release. During the Early Access period we will monitor our community feedback, review suggestions, implement proper ideas, and remedy bugs when they arise. Our diligence as a team will improve game performance, as well as upgrade gameplay experience on all levels to make AS ABOVE, SO BELOW ready for the full release.

We plan to finalize all the gameplay story segments, high level gameplay systems, skill based crafting systems, deep weapon / melee combat systems, solid AI for NPCs / Enemies, detailed character customization, secondary mission objectives, character leveling systems, vehicles, and many other features for full release. Our goal for AS ABOVE, SO BELOW is to offer the best Horror Survival Open World experience.'

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

'The Early Access version of AS ABOVE, SO BELOW will be playable, semi-optimized, and relatively stable. We plan to have most features included at least on a basic level of functionality. It is important that our team offers players the ability to perform a wide but limited number of actions, and know they will not be fully polished until the final development phase prior to release. The players will be able to explore a majority of the game world, progress the story elements, interact with NPCs, build up their character skills, acquire weapons, and encounter a number of enemies. Early Access will not include all of the high level gameplay, nor all of the story driven objectives, we want that to be a surprise! The development progress of AS ABOVE, SO BELOW will be available on our official blog - aasbgame.com. Don't forget to check out our DISCORD channel for updates as well.'

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

'The price of AS ABOVE, SO BELOW will increase slightly as the game gets closer to the final release date. By supporting our team in Early Access, you will capture the benefit of a lower initial entry price, and will not be charged for access to the final release. Thank you to all who support us in whatever way you choose!'
