Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« I have been building this game for the last two years. It has finally reached the point where I am populating the missions, fine tuning pacing and fixing bugs. So with mission one through five being completed and fully functional I thought it was a good time to bring it out. »

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

« I was hoping to have it done with in a year but everything got pushed back as life threw some challenges against my plans. So now that my personal and professional lives are more stable I am moving forward and hoping to get it done within the next year and a half, I really want it completed by 2024. »

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

« The initial version had missions one and two out of the total eighteen missions. And I have already added missions 3,4 and 5. As I complete the missions I will be pushing out new builds. The save data system is persistent so no progress loss from build to build, unless you delete the save files or remove the entries from registry.
So as levels come out you can start rescuing ships and researchers. The first four ships are the ones that you can select from when you make a new game but starting on mission 5 you will start getting access to ships, that you couldn't choose from when you started. And the researchers you rescue, allow you to unlock upgrades to your ships.
This also gives everyone a chance to let me know if the upgrades are to powerful or not powerful enough. These upgrades have all been tested, but I could have missed something.
With early access it mostly gives you the ability to tell me stuff while the game is being built. This give me a better chance of fixing issues during the game development instead of at the end when I think everything is done. »

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

« The first build had two missions which are completed and tested once you beat mission 1 mission 2 will become available on the missions map and etc etc until all missions are unlocked. There are eighteen total missions that will be in the game, as I complete these missions I will be making new builds and pushing them out, through out the early access. Your save game data is persistent so you will not experience progress loss, unless they delete the save data files or wipe your systems registry. »

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

« I plan to have the full version cost more because people that help with an early access game deserve a lower cost. »

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

« I plan on communicating with them through the forums and on https://initialnode.com . I will also be streaming on twitch @ https://www.twitch.tv/malcritch and will put dates and times up on the forums and on the home page. I will be reviewing the comments because if something is not good I really want to know. »
