Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'I’ve always wanted to bring players into the world of Wraithbinder early to help shape the game and make it the best experience possible. I know that listening to players during development will help make Wraithbinder more awesome. I plan to add new content, test new features, listen to player feedback and refine the game experience throughout Early Access. You can always reach me on the game's Discord or the weekly live stream on Twitch.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'I expect Wraithbinder to leave Early Access when it is ready. It’s also important to remain flexible and respond to players' thoughts and feedback, which may have an impact on the development roadmap. My goal is always to make the best game possible.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The Early Access version has the content for Act I of III. It has 10 floors, one major boss and several minibosses. During Early Access, plans are to create Act II content and release it as a major update. The full version is planned to have all three Acts, 20+ floors, two or more major bosses, more minibosses and more content all around, including armor and relics.

I've already been working on Wraithbinder for a few years and feel like the Early Access version is at a great point in development for players to begin the adventure and start playing. Yet there is still much more to come. I'm planning to add many more features and content throughout Early Access, including:

• Online co-op multiplayer.
  
• New biomes, enemies, minibosses and bosses.
  
• Many more relics, scrolls, armor and weapons to find.
  
• New abilities, gameplay mechanics and objects.
  
• A reliquary and bestiary.
  
• Better translations to non-English languages.

Of course, these are just some of the things on the roadmap right now, and I am keen to keep community feedback in mind throughout development.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'I plan to update the Early Access version regularly with new features and content, but right now the Early Access version contains:

• Gameplay content from start to mid-game (floor 10).
  
• Act I of III of the game's story.
  
• A new, procedurally-generated world with every run and a couple biomes.
  
• Lots of creatures and many massive bosses.
  
• Over 50 relics and scrolls with stat buffs.
  
• 16 different abilities including Blade, Bow, Boots, Grenade, Levitation, etc.
  
• A magical armor and weapons system with an inventory.
  
• Customizable character creator.
  
• Plays well with keyboard & mouse or controller.

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'I expect the price to increase as the game transitions out of Early Access and into full release, due to the final game having more content and being a more stable, rounded experience.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'I'm planning to listen very closely to what the community is saying throughout development, taking players’ comments and feedback onboard to help me refine the game, prioritize content and develop new features. As well as listening to player feedback on the Steam forums and social media, I would love my Early Access players to join the Discord, where there are dedicated feedback channels for bug reports and suggestions from the community. Players are invited to join my weekly live development stream on Twitch. I'm excited for players to get started on their adventure and listen to what they have to say.'
