Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«Early Access will allow a buffer period to balance the game with increased player feedback and take suggestions for gameplay improvements. Our primary focus is to add quality-of-life changes, add additional content, and account for any final feature suggestions from the community.»

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

«We're aiming for a relatively short period of 6 months.»

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

«The full version will simply have more polish and content. With enough early support, the primary features we'd like to implement are sound design elements primarily for racers, additional original music tracks (and eventual OST), and graphical passes for all visual areas. Once we have all these elements in for an enhanced cohesive experience, we'll consider the base game complete.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The core game mechanics are present. These include:
- A handful of racers and tracks to choose from.
- Time trial and AI combat race modes.
- Earnable credits and simple cosmetics and racer upgrades.
- Player profile with earned trophies, rank system, and stats tracking.
- Leaderboards with the ability to race against other players' ghosts.

DEATHGRIP's estimated playtime depends greatly on the player's investment in mastering the racers and tracks. The game is designed to be challenging so winning the top trophies is meaningful. Naturally this will lead to many attempts at achieving high placement. We hope to give average dedicated player about ~10-15 hours of playtime to complete/unlock all content.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«The game's pricetag will increase marginally to account for its additional content.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«We hope to involve the community in balancing racers, credits, combat, and difficulty. Their participation will help us gauge the general fun factor, as well as determine and calibrate the expected playtime. We'll be gathering player suggestions for improving replayability including racer customization options, desired game modes, and other features. We'll be creating survey forms for each update and sharing pending concepts for core content such as racers and tracks for community feedback.»
