Почему ранний доступ?

«TLDR: Arena Brutal currently is a lot of fun, is playable & has many hours of content.
Early Access allows us to get important feedback to make the game even better.

Arena Brutal at its core is a physics sandbox with detailed guns & a simple objective, but outside of that the game is dynamic & open to as many ways to play as you can come up with. Every time we see someone play the game we learn a new way to play it, and so far, the design has held up. The game is accommodating & stable, but we're not so naïve to believe we've tested everything.

We want to know what you expected to happen, what happened, what worked & what didn't.

Want to beat the whole game melee only or by using your weapons as thrown projectiles? Figured out how to fly or have reduced the AI into drooling babies? We want to hear it!

We want to know how we can better accommodate your playstyle & all the ludicrous ways you broke our game.

We would also love to hear your ideas for the game as it develops;
Early Access allows a unique development opportunity to tailor the game to player expectations.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«About a year.»

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

«The game is playable & polished to the extent of what we've tested, but we haven't designed the game to be played in just our way (nor could we). The full game should fully allow for any playstyle & approach to beat it.

Outside of polish & stability, we're working on additional features, namely:

• Character customisation
  
• Map editor & Workshop integration
  
• Additional gamemodes

Additional content will be worked on concurrently, namely:

• Additional arenas
  
• Additional weapons
  
• More rad music

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The game is playable & stable (in our testing) with many arenas to fight through, many guns to shoot, many heads to explode & walls to paint with blood.

Some sound effects are missing.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Yes, the price will increase gradually during Early Access & upon release, as more content is added & the experience polished.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«Outside of feedback needed to fix any bugs that arise, we're looking for input on the scoring system, player progression, the NG+ experience, game difficulty & design.

We would also love input on where else to direct our time going forward, for example:

• Love the game but really want to try your hand at making your own arenas? If this is what our players want, we can prioritise building user-friendly tools for this.
  
  
• Not going to touch it again until there are online leaderboards? Let us know!
  
  
• Want big, elaborate boss battles to top off the arenas? We want to hear it!
  
  
• Think you'd love the game that much more if you could wear a fancy hat? Already on it!
  
  
• Love everything that's here & just want more, more, more? We have you covered!

Feedback & input should be directed to the game's Steam community group, Discord channel & Reddit page (or anywhere else you can find us!)»
