Почему ранний доступ?

«We are creating this game so that young people can understand the basics of addiction and the hidden dangers of using substances before they try them. At this stage I'm sure you will enjoy You VS Drugs! A pretty clean beta with +2.5 hours of gameplay awaits for you, and by the end of it you will notice you are embarking on an adventure you have never seen before! We are doing Early Access to (a) get feedback on the development —we have moved towards a stealth-espionage mode, (b) as a complementary strategy to make publicity noise, and (c) build a community around feedback and developments.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«It mostly depends on your support and your feedback. My current goal is to take the game out of Early Access in two years. I am 100% sure that by then, me and my team will give you a game that is worthy of your time, money, and will bring you many hours of fun while learning many things that are actually quite important for your real life.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«(a) The idea is to make a saga of 3 video games, and right now we have approx. 1/3 of the 1st game, so we have to do more scenarios and continue building the story.
We also want to:
(b) strengthen the combat system,
(c) improve the exploration features,
(d) expand the stealth system,
(e) include a 'Bestiary' system,
(f) develop a hazard map system,
(g) expand the translation to 8 languages and, finally,
(h) include a 2-player co-op feature, so friends have fun and learn together, parents can play in couples with their children and see what they are learning and how, strengthen their bond, and have fun together.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The video game is a 3D third-person action/adventure (for PC initially) and has a bit of a chibi-style. It gives players a feeling of fun at first glance. Friends and enemies, level challenges, sounds, structures and objects are designed for players to explore, be surprised, fight, and make decisions that test their understanding of what may be happening.

At this point the game has two completed levels with a good story that, at the end of two and a half hours of gameplay, allows players to get an idea of how we are going to approach the subject of the games. However, it is a unique story because in a creative and innovative way it unites a wide variety of different scientific studies that have been developed in the last 100 years. And according to a study I published, the game serves a valuable function for society.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Yes. The idea is to give a better price to people who decide to support us now. We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features, but also because if people find out about the game a bit late, they don't feel like they lost the opportunity to get the game at a good price.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«It's vital for us to listen and to work with you. We will be gathering feedback from our Discord server, our social channels, and the Steam forums. We want You VS Drugs to become the game you cannot wait to share with your friends and family!»
