Miért a Korai Hozzáférés?

„We’ve bootstrapped VEIN entirely by ourselves. We don’t have a publisher or funding outside of our own savings, and currently have day jobs, developing VEIN on the side.

Releasing into Early Access allows us to spend more time VEIN development, and Early Access success means we can hire artists and developers to make VEIN better than ever. (We'll continue work on VEIN regardless of Early Access success).

In addition, Early Access allows us to receive feedback from the community and iterate on the current and future features of VEIN, together.”

Körülbelül mennyi ideig lesz ez a játék a Korai Hozzáférésben?

„We plan to develop VEIN under Early Access until it’s feature-complete. That means we plan to add NPCs, raiders, settlements, quests, lore, and the full 14x14 kilometer map, alongside hundreds of other features and gameplay and graphical improvements. We estimate that, with full-time work, we can achieve this within roughly 5 years.

We intend to work on VEIN indefinitely.”

A tervek szerint miben fog különbözni a teljes verzió a korai hozzáférésűtől?

„We’ll be expanding the map outwards to 14x14 kilometers. NPCs, raiders, trading, and settlements have yet to be developed. Base fortifications are in currently, but we’d like to expand these to a full range of high-tier defenses. We’re planning on writing lore and quests for the world of VEIN and fleshing out the story and timeline, with quests and things to do spanning a number of in-game years. Finally, we’d like to improve the art over time: better weapons, animations, characters, zombies, and textures will help bring the game world to life.”

Milyen állapotban van jelenleg a korai hozzáférésű verzió?

„Character creation, as well as a full RPG stats and leveling system, is present. Multiplayer is functional. Combat, both player-versus-player and against zombies, is present. Looting and scavenging, farming, crafting, cooking, and base building are in. A fully simulated power grid and water system is in-game.

There’s a variety of areas and points-of-interest to explore. The playable area is around 4x4 kilometers, covering four towns and the nature around and in-between them. It is continually expanded with updates.

VEIN is known for having hundreds of independent and interlinked systems, so we encourage you to play the demo version to see what’s in game. The demo is restricted to two small towns and with a level cap. It continues to and will continue to receive updates with the Early Access version (and beyond).”

Hogyan tervezitek bevonni a közösséget a fejlesztés folyamatába?

„We have been open and transparent with our community since day one. We constantly take feedback from everywhere and everyone, be it from YouTube comments, our Discord server, the in-game feedback reporter, and even via e-mail. We’ll continue to do this during and after our Early Access phase.

If you’re curious about what that looks like, we encourage you to join our Discord server — we’ve been taking feedback since version 0.001.”
