¿Por qué ofreces acceso anticipado?

«The Classrooms is a procedurally generated game with a nearly infinite number of potential level layouts and random elements. For this reason, player feedback is paramount as we hone in and finalize our procedural algorithms to ensure a game experience that's as reliable as it is unique and unexpected. The Classrooms is infinitely replayable, and never the same twice. Subsequent playthroughs during Early Access will not stifle enjoyment in the final release.»

¿Cuánto tiempo va a estar este juego en acceso anticipado aproximadamente?

«Approximately 2 years or more depending on how much content we decide is enough for release.»

¿Qué diferencias habrá entre la versión completa y la versión de acceso anticipado?

«The full version of the Classrooms is planned to have key story elements enabled that Early Access does not. This is meant to keep key story elements from being revealed before the endings can be reached. As Early Access progresses, new environment types, anomalous entities, and anomalous objects are planned to be introduced. The procedural environment algorithms are also expected to be honed during Early Access so that gameplay can be as reliable as it is unique and unexpected.»

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de acceso anticipado?

«The current state of Early Access introduces players to the game's protagonist, Robert Chen, who is armed with his VHS Camera (From which the game world is viewed). Robert is determined to investigate the local Canadian public school where multiple students, including his younger sister, have gone missing. However, shortly after entering the premises, he finds himself lost in a senseless and seemingly infinite maze of halls and classrooms. There are currently 6 procedural levels that are home to multiple malicious anomalies as well as a handful of less dangerous anomalous objects and entities. Find clues and uncover the mystery of The Classrooms.»

¿El precio del juego será diferente durante y después del acceso anticipado?

«Yes. We have gradually raised the price as we ship new content and features, and will likely continue to do so.»

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

«Being a procedural game, community feedback is absolutely crucial to the development process. There are more possible random seeds than there are people on the planet, so it will never be possible to curate every variation. However, the more data and feedback we have the better we can hone our procedural algorithms. We are also very open to qualitative feedback regarding specific content as well, and will incorporate community feedback into the content design. We want to be in close contact with the community and continue to improve the game based on their perceptions and feedback. Feedback can be sent to theclassrooms@xefiergames.com.»
