Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« The game is in a complete, playable state - But the story remains unresolved. I'm looking for feedback to decide how to expand on the current mechanics and how much further to scale the game up. Do you want a rich story with an explosive resolution, or should the game remain primarily a puzzle platformer? This is my first Steam release and I want to do everything I can to ensure it is well received. »

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

« Admittedly, the Early Access banner has been on No Way Up longer than I originally intended, but it is far from abandoned. After some wonderful feedback I made the decision to essentially remake the game from the ground up. I've since added multiple new traps, enemies and features, as well as overhauled all the existing assets. I am in the process of creating some exciting new levels, but this will take some considerable time. »

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

« I have plans to introduce at least 2 more characters, more enemies, traps and obstacles, and many more levels. When the next update goes live, it will include at least 2 new traps, and an ominous guardian know as the Sentinel. »

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

« The game is 100% playable, but finishes with a game-altering decision and an "End of Chapter 1" message. There are 48 fully-playable levels, 2 playable characters, 2 enemy types, lots of puzzles, traps, and a story which currently concludes on a cliffhanger which I'll be expanding upon. »

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

« This is my flagship game, and I want it to reach as many people as possible. If I decide the price should increase, it will hardly be noticeable. »

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

« I want people to enjoy my games, and would like to take my lead from the community's feedback. If people enjoy the level design but don't appreciate the story-telling, the game will be less story-driven and more geared towards simple, fun platforming. If the puzzles are too simple, I can spice them up! I really want to engage with my players and include them in deciding where this game is ultimately heading. Feedback via reviews and the community section will be very closely monitored. »
