Почему ранний доступ?

«I had the possibility to work 3 months fulltime on this game, to setup the world and get the main mechanics, the beginning of the story and the first bossfights into the game. But now I'll be back at my mainjob again, so I will only do further development in my free time. Since this will take some time, obviously, I wanted to give players the opportunity to enjoy the current state of the game already and gather contructive feedback to constantly improve the game.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The gameplay loop is already fully implemented, so you can enjoy the beginning of the story, the item grind for BiS, and the fights against the first 4 bosses. Furthermore these bosses are replayable, so you can try out different tactics each time. There might be a glitch here and there, but no game breaking bugs, hopefully. If you find one, please report it to me, so I can fix it.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«I plan to gradually raise the price as I ship new content and features.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«I would like to involve players as much as possible in the development process:

• If you find a bug, please report it
  
• If you have a cool idea for the next boss (letter dependend), please tell me
  
• If you have sophisticated thoughts for a new NPC, please tell me
  
• If you would like to see an existing mechanic changed, extended or if you miss a mechanic, which is needed for an action RPG, please tell me

Looking forward for any feedback!»
