Varför Early Access?

“Bandits has been through many iterations.. but I do belive this is the best one yet! As a solo dev this is the perfect chance to build up the community and get to the grit of what makes PVP survival games fun.. the multiplayer! Yes, you can 100% enjoy this game alone but I truly see this as a breathing and living experience that you share with others so early access here we are!”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Bandits will be in early access until it is complete. This highly depends on the demand for the game and the number of features that may be implemented.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The full version will allow for base building and a full realized open world mode. In the current build I am testing a free to play "Zone War" Survival mode where players fight to control zones and then can be extracted. It is so much fun and honestly a lot more fast paced then earlier builds of the game if you had the chance to play those. After playing and testing it just felt right to keep the building out of the free to play version so it can be a balanced fight as it does allow for multiplayer - this keeps the skill curve relatively low so anybody can pick up game and play.

If you really want that full on open world experience, the open world mode will be available ONLY in the full early access version and NOT the demo! This way both games will update at the same time but it allows people to differentiate how they play the game the way they want to.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The new build is still somewhat stylized, but it is a mix of low poly and high definition assets. Switching over to UE5 really gave a kick in performance and just how the game looks.

The demo version focused on the "Zone War" mode - Here you must secure 3 zones to win the game. It is a blast to play alone so I can only image how it will play with others. The current state of the open world is undefined as there are a few more kinks I need to workout before bringing it public but i promise it is worth the wait!”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“The price for Bandits is not set to change during early access!! Really more so focused on getting as many people to play the game as possible over the monetary value.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“Community will be the pillar by which Bandits can grow and manifest. In addition to setting up a discord, as well as the steam community page, anyone can feel free to reach out to me personally at 'wisebeargames@gmail.com'. I have a very open-door policy about 'Bandits' and game development. I really can't wait to see what kind of community forms around this game, and I'm looking forward to growing with you all each step of the way!”
