Varför Early Access?

“User feedback will be crucial to getting the game in the best state it can be. As developer it can be very difficult to judge just how difficult or frightening your game might be. Involving the community at every step of development will help tremendously.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The Early Access game will focus on testing gameplay elements and core features. As a result most of the Early Access period will play out over just 1 or 2 different levels. The full release will include more levels, aiming for 4 or 5.
Large features such VR and Player Progression will all be present in the Early Access at some stage.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The game is in the early stages of development and at this point is very much focused on core gameplay elements.

• A large part of the first level has been build.
  
• The AI is in an acceptable state, it's able to search for and find the player, but there's still lots to do before it can be called "smart".
  
• Work on Multiplayer has begun and this is currently a large focus.
  
• The game is integrated in to Steam, making use of it's lobbies, chat, and voice chat.
  
• VR has been tested and proven to work in concept, but will need lots more work before it's ready. VR is not a priority at the moment and will follow in a later stage of the early access period, but gameplay is build with VR controls in mind.

This is all the result of roughly 6 months of development.”

Any other players joining the game can join for free, possibly with some limits.”
