早期アクセスにした理由

“We're releasing the game into early access to get as much feedback as soon as possible from players.
This is, in our opinion, the best way to create a great game with a great community.”

このゲームは大体どのくらいの期間早期アクセスですか？

“The planned time for early access will be 6-12 months. This will become more specific as we make progress.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“We plan to add more characters, locations, quests and content in general to the full version compared to the early access version. The early access version is meant to give players a taste of what the full version will be!

For our early access version we're zooming in on the north-west part of Sudaer, called "Chalaer".
The region of Chalaer is inhabited primarily by Qu0rry and Ganhiko's.

The Qu0rry are a species of steampunk robots manufactured by an ancient high-tech AI that resides in the heart of Volryn (One of the larger cities in Sudaer).

The Ganchiko's are a crab-like species that has distanced themselves from the mainland.
Most of the Ganchiko's live in Thydaal, a city that moves with the tides and acts as a trade-vessel between Sudaer and other islands/continents.

For the full version, we hope to be able to create the entire continent of Sudaer. This means that if everything goes as planned the full version would have 4 times the amount of content and possible play-time the early access version has.

If our goals change between the release of the early access version and the release of the full version we will communicate this to players in a timely manner!”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The current state of the early access version is that it is still in development.
We are working towards a short first version. Once we feel the first version shows of the main gist of the game properly, we will put it here for you to try out.

We plan on releasing the game into early access with:

• At least 4 playable characters.
  
• At least 8 different locations (each with their own NPC's, houses and stories).
  
• At least one main quest-line for players to follow.
  
• At least 50 (significant) story-rich scenarios for players to experience.
  
• A bunch of small scenarios. (Talking to NPC's, shopping, fighting, etc...)
  
• Hundreds of choices waiting to be made.

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“After the early access has concluded the game's price will go up. This is to reward players for showing interest in our game early on and supporting our development before the game is completed.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“Throughout development players will be able to give suggestions and feedback on our early access version of the game by joining our early-access discord!

Since the game puts a large focus on making choices and branching out the storyline, we will be asking players for ideas on different paths we could add to existing stories.

We will also hold small contests to keep the community engaged. The winners of these contests will be able to send us their ideas for quests and locations. We will then try to implement these ideas into Textbound Tales so the community can leave their own footprint in our world!”
