Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„Generic Lake Monster is an indie developer with a singular goal: to make fun, creative, and accessible games for all skill levels. We have achieved code-completion on our core gameplay with just burnt savings and cashed favors, and now we want to make our game more animated, polished, and maybe even bring back features we thought we’d have to cut.

Early Access enables us to receive feedback as we complete the primary game art and animation, and may even make it possible for us to add additional polish, art, and cinematics that would be otherwise left on the cutting-room floor.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„Players can enjoy a full progression through the main storyline, and even beat the game with minimal bugs and zero progression blockers. Three major side story regions are available to be experienced. The tournament Arena is also open, where players can challenge themselves with speed and endurance trials.

With exception to a few bugs, the bones and functionality of Quarterstaff are sturdy. All it needs is some significant art and animation to be fully completed.”

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?

„Early Access customers will enjoy a discounted price, as we plan to moderately increase the price for the full and final version of the game.”

Jak zamierzacie włączyć społeczność w wasz proces tworzenia?

„We have already developed an in-game feedback button for players to use as they play. This will anonymously send your comments directly to the dev team (Please be respectful!). Feedback on what’s fun or what fails is welcome, as is feedback regarding player ease of use and accessibility.

Or if you just want to send a note to tell us you’re having fun, we’d be thrilled to hear from you!”
