Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“Early Access is a process that has been on the rise lately especially in the sandbox simulation genre producing very positive results both in terms of the development of the game and the experience of the players. We also would like to improve our game and approach its final state with our players instead of just the developer team. While in Early Access, the players who give their valuable feedback will be what actually makes the game better in the end.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“We are currently planning to hit the release in about 4 or 5 months. The reason for that is, the core technical part can be mostly called done and now we are on either adding features or balancing the game flow. So we hope to achieve a stable and feature-rich state in that timeframe.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“Right now, the game does not feature any animal system. Only some animational, non-game animals are present. This is the first thing we'd like to see come to the game. We want to incorporate animals with both having them produce for the farm and hunting systems. We also aim to have somewaht magical animals to help the player throughout the game at rare times.

A second thing we want to add is more maps. We are handcrafting and carefully designing every map we have so it takes time and it's not random. That's why currently only 2 maps are ready but others are in the works and we hope to get them in by release.

A third thing we want to have in game is landscaping resources and buildings with which you can customize your farm's look in any way you wish as the system allows.

We also would like to improve the challenging parts of the game as a general concept. Specifically we'd like to add a few more challenges like floods or others disasters.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“We are developing the game using the Unity engine but we also did design our own tools to come up with the levels we create. So basically, we are making a custom level editor to produce the maps. This means that core technicality (Coding, tooling, Tech Art, UI/UX etc..) is almost complete.

Specifically, there are currently 2 large maps, with different quests and questlines in them. The game currently has 200+ resources including crops, mixtures, products, edibles and dairy products and more. 15+ buildings and 3 different workers. These resources and buildings are the main driving force of the game and handling them is the main challenge against time. Both maps and possibly the future maps include a main big quest where the player has to produce or fulfill many different needs by either the kingdom or its people.”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“Short answer: Yes. We aim to increase the price of the game by a small amount.

Long answer: The reason for the increase is the amount of content that we hope to add to the game during early access and the sole privilege of having the game before it was complete and helping us to produce a better game that way.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“We have an official Discord server where all our players, regardless of if they have the game or not can meet. In that server there is a special channel for Early Access owners and they will have priority when they are giving feedback to us and we also hope to have periodic meetings with the developer team and the community to listen to the feedback we receive.”
