Почему ранний доступ?

«As gamers, we understand the hesitancy to get involved with Early Access. Rest assured, many of our game features are already implemented in this Early Access version of the game. While there are several "End Game", quality of life and expanded features still to come as they are tied in with some of the lore aspects in the future chapters of the game, we want to try and gather as much feedback on the core systems of the game as possible as we push forward into creating these remaining chapters.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«We are in the final phase of Early Access development and expect the full release, barring any unforeseen circumstances or delays, to be sometime within this first quarter of 2025.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«The full version of the game will include a full visual overhaul as well as a completely new tutorial with less reading and more visual aids. This will release during Early Access, but will likely not reach the fully polished final form until our official launch. It will also include whole new guild systems, extremely challenging Elite Dungeons, the completed Chapter 1 story which includes a zone not currently in Early Access, and more!»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The current state of Early Access includes the majority of Chapter 1, and most of the full version features. However, it is using placeholder UI and a placeholder tutorial and we encourage those not familiar with gaming in general to simply add us to your wishlist and keep an eye out for the Early Access patch which includes the new UI and the updated 'Logbook', which is our tutorial. At this point, the game will be near completion.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«No. We do not plan to increase or reduce the pricing of The Merchant's Guide to the Kingdom upon launch.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We will be actively discussing the game features and plans with the community via Discord, as well as taking in as much feedback as possible around the current features, the planned features, and any feature ideas our players may have to add to (or remove from!) the game. As this information makes it our way and we continue development into the next chapters of the game, we will be actively making any changes to the current content as needed to ensure the overall game is the best combination of our initial vision and the feedback from the community.»
