早期アクセスにした理由

“Early Access is the perfect fit for Fortune Avenue's development. As a small team (just me for development, with help from a Montreal music group for the soundtrack), your feedback is essential to refine game balance and mechanics.

The voting system, property economics, and unique features like the helicopter elimination mechanism all benefit from player testing in different scenarios. This helps create a more polished and enjoyable experience.

Community input will help shape Fortune Avenue into a game that's both fun and fair, with the strategic depth that makes board games so engaging.”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“Fortune Avenue will be in Early Access for up to 1 year. This timeframe allows for implementing planned features like the board editor and Steam Workshop integration at a sustainable pace.

There's an investor supporting the project, but development will proceed carefully to ensure quality. I'll use this time to refine the game based on player feedback.

I plan to release regular updates throughout Early Access, each adding improvements and new features based on community input and development priorities.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“The full version will build on the current foundation with features such as:

• Steam Workshop Integration - Share your custom boards and rule sets
  
• Enhanced Multiplayer Experience - Improved network stability and additional game modes
  
• Additional Boards - More themed board designs

Community feedback will help prioritize these features and might inspire new additions to make the game even better.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“Yes, the price will increase when Fortune Avenue leaves Early Access. The current lower price:
1. Reflects that the game is still in development
2. Thanks early supporters who provide valuable feedback

As more features are added, the price will gradually increase until the full launch.

Everyone who purchases during Early Access will receive all future updates at no additional cost.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“Community feedback is important for Fortune Avenue's development. I plan to:

• Read Player Feedback - Review comments and suggestions on Steam forums
  
• Share Updates - Provide regular patch notes about changes and improvements
  
• Consider Feature Requests - Evaluate community ideas for possible implementation
  
• Fix Reported Issues - Address bugs and problems players discover

As a small development team, I'll need to balance feedback implementation with development progress. While I can't promise to implement every suggestion, player input will help shape Fortune Avenue into a better game for everyone.
