Почему ранний доступ?

«Hi, I'm Peter, the creator of Pirate Code 1 and 2! For me, Early Access represents an opportunity to involve our dedicated fans in shaping this amazing world. I spent years refining the first game and I quickly learned to trust the players. With Pirate Code 2 I hope the community will help bring the best ideas to the surface and together we can make a pirate experience unlike anything else on Steam!»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«We're currently expecting Early Access to last 2 years. This is based on experience from the first game, but we'll adjust as needed.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«We hope to expand the scope of the game with additional story branches and content. Most importantly we want to be responsive to user feedback. We also may have a few features that we decide to develop after going into Early Access such as island exploration and special crew members. We can't give more concrete examples yet.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The Early Access version includes a working core game loop. You can generate a world, move from island to island, upgrade ships and engage in combat.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Yes. We haven't settled on final prices yet, but it will definitely be cheaper to buy during Early Access. Ye be warned!»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«With Pirate Code we mostly received suggestions through the Steam forums. With Pirate Code 2 we hope to expand the options players have to reach us by adding a Discord channel and a feedback form directly in the game. We even plan to allow players to upload the replay for a battle so we can see an example of the situation they encountered. We can't act on every idea, of course, but the goal is to be responsive to our community to build a better game!»
