Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“Honeymancer has been in development for over two years but still got a way to go. I want players to have a chance to try it out and support the development. Early Access will allow me to gain feedback and ensure that the game is going in the right direction and become what I and the players wants it to be.

Honeymancer is solo-developed by me and with the help of friends. The support from Early Access will be invaluable, and it will help me continue to work on Honeymancer!”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“The plan right now is to have it in Early Access for roughly a year. Nothing is set in stone though but I don't want Honeymancer to endlessly stay in Early Access and aim to fully release it sooner rather than later.

I'm planning to release fairly frequent updates. The updates will be a mix of bug fixes, small and large content patches and general changes based on the players feedback.
The game have a few large content updates planned. When they are done and the game is working properly it will release fully.”

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

“I'm planning to expand on all aspects of the game while keeping the core intact. The plan is to add new areas to discover and protect, new neighbours to meet, more quests, flowers, spells, potions, robots and environmental hazards.

Other planned features to be added are; spell upgrading, decorating beyond flowers, an interactive bee system and boss battles.

None of this is guaranteed since plans can always change, especially with the players feedback.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“The Early Access version features all of the core mechanics of the game and the player can experience the full game loop. The game is however not complete and there is a lot more to create, improve and fix.

Available content:
- Bear Witch's home and the town where her neighbours live
- 3 distinct parts of the forest, each with 3 areas to protect
- Several honey or bee themed spells
- A number of flower types in a many colors to place around the forest
- Potion crafting with 3 helpful types of potions to make
- 6 animal neighbours with personal quest and dialogues
- A big round bee called Bumble Dog who will help you protect the forest”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“The plan right now is for a small price increase as the game leaves Early Access.”

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

“The community will be involved in almost every step of development and can provide feedback and suggestions. I’ll be gathering the feedback through Honeymancer's Discord server, the Steam Discussions and social media. Hope to see and hear from you there!

Private betas for development builds might be offered to those who offer regular feedback and can directly influence the future of the game.”
