Porquê Acesso Antecipado?

"Player feedback is enormous to a game's success. Early decisions become more challenging to change further into development. Internal playtests show us many improvements and changes we must make based on the feedback of our players. With early access, players will be able to provide feedback in our community to help improve Cave Crawlers."

Aproximadamente durante quanto tempo vai este produto estar em Acesso Antecipado?

"We are hoping to exit Early Access sometime in 2024."

Qual vai ser a diferença entre a versão final e a versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"We have quite a few big features planned for Early Access mainly in the realm of a new biome: The Molten Collapse. This biome will feature many new enemies, items, special event rooms, puzzles, and a magma boss with unique mechanics as well as loot.

Another large feature planned is the implementation of mining: players will be able to use their dwarven pickaxe to mine ores/crystals/gems in each biome. The use of ores in the game is still being decided, we're working with the community on new features like this to figure out exactly the best way to implement it into the game.
Polishing must be done on many small aspects such as UI, animations, effects, audio, etc!"

Qual é o estado atual da versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"This is an Alpha build of the game. Right now we have multiple major features, and a whole biome to finish before we move into Beta.

There is quite a lot of content currently in the game (two biomes with their bosses, over 100 different weapons, a variety of enemies, and 6 different weapon talent trees for players to go through). We still have a lot of work to do before the game is completed, yet the current build we are releasing is fun! We hope to get lots of feedback from players to help us improve and guide us in building a game we all love playing!"

O jogo vai ter preços diferentes durante e depois do Acesso Antecipado?

"No, we plan to keep the game free forever. We will have paid DLC levels after Early Access, but the base game will always be free."
