Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în Acces Timpuriu?

„A couple years”

Ce diferențe vor fi între versiunea completă, finală și cea aflată în Acces Timpuriu?

„Right now we have two creature and a mini boss of the Slimes faction. We will be adding slimes of various elements along with their own color scheme to signify their elemental alignment. More will be added to fill out your classic DND mob feature set but with our own unique twist on how they are handled.

The current planned creature set include:

- Slimes
- Undead
- Constructs
- Humans
- Beasts

Right now we have 4 weapon types. Shields, Swords, Axes, and Staves. Bows are currently being worked on along with Guns and Throwing Weapons. As we can see in the trailer, some weapons have their own unique spell effect characteristics like shooting fireballs when you attack or causing a lightning explosion when striking enemies. This concept will be expanded upon to include more unique game defining characteristics such as creating a tornado to pull things in or having ghostly apparitions spawn when a weapon harvests enough soul energy from fallen foes.

Currently weapons are only able to roll with resistances and elemental damage. This will be changed so that it can roll with stats in a new Prefix/Suffix item system.

Right now we have a couple rooms in the Catacombs. Planned biomes include:

Forest
Swamp
Crystal Caves
Desert
Hellfire Volcanic Biome

Right now there is no quests. Quests will not be your generic kill X to get Y check lists. They will have their own story defining characteristics akin to the Horadric Cube quest in Diablo 2 or Beating Woodfall temple in Majora's Mask where fundamental gameplay or environmental changes occur.

Right now in terms of overall scope and game size for the final product, we're looking at about the size of Diablo 1/Torchlight 1.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în Acces Timpuriu?

„Very bare bones. Currently there is 1 tier of newbie gear, 1 boss, and 2 mobs. This will be expanded on much further to include an entire set of mobs per faction.”

Va avea jocul aflat în Acces Timpuriu un preț diferit față de versiunea finală?

„Yes. Once more features and more content is added, the value of the product will go up.”

Cum dorești să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„Design a weapon contests/Design a monster contests are always fun to do. I'll be streaming the development of the game on a regular basis so community members can get an in depth look behind the design process of different concepts including level design. It'll give us a chance to talk and share ideas.

We also have a Discord available and I always post on my Twitter feed where I'll be posting more early WIP items for people to look at before they are finalized.”
