Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« I am a solo neuroscientist developing this game with passion and effort. However, I am limited on how well I can balance the game, either by imagining what other players would do or calculating how much time robots would need to get to endgame content.

That's why I choose to make this game available as early access, I think this option is excellent, so the community can help decide the proper balance needed and which gameplay mechanics are cool to have. »

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

« That depends on how much I can add and if I can bring someone else to help me with the UI design and object creation. I expect to need at least one more year to develop the mechanics I want to implement. »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« Have more maps for smaller and bigger groups. For example, a small map for a 3v1 and a bigger map for a 8v1.

I'm also planning to add a team choice when a robot die, so they can either help Nanook and rage against the machines or keep their code intact and help other robots destroy him.

There is also a need to add some tutorials in the game, so players understand the basic on how the game work.

Increase the number of robots meshes and other skins for Nanook. »

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

« In the current state of the game, players can create and find matches, choose settings for almost all gameplay mechanics: skill cooldowns, and effects; build times, cost, and production rate; almost every aspect of the mods that Nanook can have; and some character specifics settings (ex. base movement speed). The game is fully playable and have a restart option, however, there are some bugs when you play as the server side, and probably more that I haven't found yet. »

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

« The early access is free to play and won't change during the development process. The game will continue to be free to play after early access. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« The community is the most vital part for this game, since this is a multiplayer team vs team, the balancing changes needed are only available through the feedback and involvement of the users. The game has a dedicated discord server that will collect feedback through and run polls to understand what players want the direction of the updates to go. I will further adjust and improve the game based on players suggestions and feedback. »
