Kenapa Akses Awal?

“Ostera is our very first game, and we're keen to improve it according to your needs and feedback as we go along. Because even though Ostera: The curse of... has taken many years of learning and development, it's you, the Ostera community, who will make this game even better.”

Berapa lama permainan ini dijangka akan berada dalam Akses Awal?

Apakah perbezaan yang dirancang antara versi penuh dan versi Akses Awal?

“For the final version of Ostera, we plan to:
- Conclude the story,
- Add a new difficulty mode to give more experienced players a greater challenge.
- And finally, if necessary and possible, to add patches and balancing.
Early Access is supposed to have a lot in common with the final version, apart from the content.”

Bagaimana anda merancang untuk melibatkan Komuniti dalam proses pembangunan anda?

“We've put several communication strategies in place.
1. We did some test streams on Twitch during the graphic production of Ostera, which were very well received and we're going to start again in January with additional streams on narrative production.
2. We have a discord where players can chat directly with us.
3. Approximately once a week, we post an update on the progress of early access on X, Bluesky and Instagram. We also exchange a lot of private messages via our networks.
4. We invite a lot of streamers to try out our game, so we get live feedback.

In conclusion, Ostera's Early Access is already very mature, and complete in its gameplay comfort.
We obviously have ideas for possible improvements, but for now we're going to concentrate on the game's content and your feedback.”
