Почему ранний доступ?

«I'm releasing Everlife in Early Access for a variety of reasons, but the most prominent reason would be community feedback on the game.

I feel community feedback will be important for the game's development. Is there a feature you don't like? Is the difficulty balance off? With early access, I'll be able to take care of it!»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«I would expect Everlife to be in early access until the completion of all 5 chapters. I'm not 100% sure when this will be, so stay tuned for updates (And if you have any additional questions, email masemaster2k@gmail.com).»

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

«The full version of Everlife will have multiple different abilities to ward off enemies. You will get to experience more of these as each chapter gets released!

Everlife's full version is planned to have a grand total of 13 levels. Each level will be bigger and more difficult than the level that came before it, and each level will have a different environment and a different set of enemies.

Everlife's features are planned to be improved over the course of development. Additionally, Game pad support is planned to be added in the future.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

As of now, every additional chapter is planned to be $1.99, for a total of around $8 for the entire game.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«I intend to gather community feedback from Everlife's Alpha versions. I intend to gather feedback on the game's elements, such as difficulty balancing and game-pacing, and improve said elements accordingly.

However, I don't intend to take suggestions for the actual story or core game elements, for example, I won't accept a suggestion to have a resort level in the game (assuming there isn't one), since I already have the enemies and environments planned out. I also wouldn't take any ability suggestions, since I also have all of them planned out as well.»
