Wozu Early Access?

„We want to work with players to understand what controls, capability and content are required for the Full Version and focus on building the true skateboarding sim together. TRUE SKATE™ real-time touch (mobile) controls have been ported to Gamepad with a skateboarder added to the board. The core gameplay is FUN and challenging enabling players the freedom to do what you want, when you want, so we want to get the game in your hands. Physics controls mean there are many different ways to play the game so we want your feedback!“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We will define initial scope of the Full Version at the end of this year, based on player take-up and feedback. Scope will include defining controls, capability and content required for the Full Version. Our short-term focus is to iteratively evolve the physics, animations and Gamepad controls. Plus ensure the replay editor is equipped with expected capability.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The physics, animations and controls will continue to evolve for the Full Version, Gamepad controls will be customizable to suit style and real-time touch controls available for mobile players.
Initial feedback from mobile players is they want to continue to record their lines on mobile but are excited at the potential to edit in HD when they get home.
The character animation system will evolve, including more gesture based animations enabled in the Replay Editor.
Take-up from Early-Access players will define the scope of capability and content including scale of the environments, characters, skateboards, shoes and apparel.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The current state of the skateboarding physics feels great! It did take 10 years and the support and patience from over 28 million TRUE SKATE™ mobile players. Note: Players with a Gamepad connected to a mobile device can try TRUE SKATE™ real-time controls and skateboarder now via the App Store or Google Play.
There are known bugs related to animations and Gamepad controls we are fixing, and a ton of content to come, but we want players to experience the freedom physics controls enable. We are focused on Gamepad controls offering the same freedom enabled by real-time mobile touch controls. Animations are constantly evolving and we know how important skateboarding style is to players and streamers.
On Steam, players feel that adrenaline rush from the makes and the poundings, in the highest resolution and on the BIGGEST SCREEN possible, with HD environments and characters. Connect your Gamepad and choose from 5 x "physics" Skateboards and 5 x Characters. Then select your stance and you're rolling. Enjoy the feeling of your foot and stick being truly connected. We have some friendly faces on board to take you through the skateboarding fundamentals at MACBA and included 3 x TRUE SKATE™ Classic skateparks to practice and have fun on. Relive all your glory in the Replay Editor! Advanced players can personalize gameplay further in settings.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Yes the price will change to represent what's in the game. As the game's capability and content grows, the price will change to match the experience. The price will change either over the course of Early Access, or at the launch of the Full Version.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„The TRUE SKATE™ Community has actively and importantly influenced game development since 2012. The Community is essential to creating and evolving the true skateboarding sim. We are looking forward to the feedback from Steam Players and working together to produce true skateboarding freedom.“
