Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„We've showcased Vivat Slovakia at every relevant exhibition, interview, or lecture, and for a while, we even shared details directly from our workshop in the form of Vivat Wednesday development diaries. We want to continue this transparent approach with our community, which is why the next natural step for us is to give our players the opportunity to actually play Vivat Slovakia and not only evaluate but also directly influence its final form.

Games like Vivat Slovakia greatly benefit from feedback, and we've discovered that collaborating directly with players during development enhances the gaming experience. Our Early Access launch aims to provide players with a rewarding experience they deserve while also enabling us to engage with the community to discover fresh gameplay possibilities. Throughout this process, we'll gradually introduce new features and address any issues to continually improve the game.”

„Our estimation suggests that Vivat Slovakia may remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. Nonetheless, we prioritize delivering a fully polished experience over adhering strictly to a timeline. Rest assured, Vivat Slovakia will transition out of Early Access only when it meets our standards of readiness.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„Vivat Slovakia currently includes the entire play area of the virtual city of Bratislava, wherein players can freely travel on foot or by car and experience the first half of the story missions set in the wildly intriguing '90s and an automatic save/checkpoint system. The game incorporates a wanted system, car and arms shops as well as a safe house for the main character. Side activities like delivery missions, horse racing and fishing are also included with more being added regularly. Steam achievements are implemented, with more on the way.

The available story missions contain full voiceover in Slovak and English subtitles(full English voiceover coming soon). The car radio features a custom radio channel as well as the option to play your own music. For more details on features that are already implemented, please refer to the "About this game" section.”

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?

„Yes 🔖. Our supporters during the crowdfunding campaign had the lowest price for the full game as a reward in the "I. level - Full game" tier. We'll offer a slightly higher but still reduced price for supporting the Early Access version of the game. The final price will be set upon completion of the Vivat Slovakia game.”

Jak zamierzacie włączyć społeczność w wasz proces tworzenia?

„During Early Access, we invite the entire community to actively engage in shaping the evolution of Vivat Slovakia. We encourage Early Access participants to join our Discord community, where they can directly interact with the development team and contribute to the game's future direction. Additionally, we're implementing a bug submission system directly in-game for streamlined feedback gathering. Alongside Discord, we'll be attentive to player input across our social media platforms and closely monitor discussions on the Steam Community forums. Your input is invaluable in guiding the game's development journey.”
