Почему ранний доступ?

«I feel that Early Access is the best way to get feedback leading up to the final release version of the game. While most of Journey Express' game mechanics are fundamentally built out, there are still things I would like to improve upon and, of course, make more fun!»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«My intention is for Journey Express to be in Early Access for less than six months at the most.»

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

«I plan for the full version of Journey Express to be more polished and expanded compared to the Early Access build. Some of the things that I would like to include would be more content such as more items to use and points of interest to discover.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«Currently, Journey Express has its essential game mechanics in 2D (traveling mode) and 3D (exploration mode) present and functioning! You're able to create a character with your selection of traits and characteristics, if you will. You can select from a randomized list of parties to bring to their destinations, and then travel across a large map in any way that you choose. As you travel, explore the area around you in 3D, with each biome having its own respective 3D map to roam. You can hunt, fish, and search for points of interest that can later be sold for money and reputation!

In terms of how much of everything there is, this is the current tally of various game components that are in the game so far:

- 14 character traits that impact game mechanics in unique ways
- 18 random events that can occur during travel, each with unique effects and ways to deal with them
- 11 total character backstories and skillsets that determine your character traits
- 5 unique biomes to travel through in 2D, with 5 unique 3D accompanying exploration areas
- 15 total exploration points of interest to find
- 9 map locations
- 6 map discoveries»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«During Early Access, Journey Express will be priced lower at about 60% of the full release price.»
