Почему ранний доступ?

«In its current state, the game has most of its gameplay mechanics but lacks any sort of meaningful goal, progression or story. It feels like a good solution to have the community suggest what is the Goal for players to progress towards. While I describe it as Tower Defence, I want to look for some new spins on the core concept. Maybe, deeper resource management, a base-building puzzle, or additional gameplay during enemy waves.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«I will predict a year of time until it can be called "done".»

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

«Just to outline the extent of the ambition (approximate numbers):

• 15 levels of the core gameplay with some non-combat segments in between.
  
• Enemy variety should have at least 3 types. I've done a lot of optimisations, including GPU culling and Impostors, so the challenge will be raised by increasing the number of enemies, as opposed to upping their Hit Points.
  
• The turret variety and placement puzzle are currently a priority.
  
• If all goes well, I plan to invest in hiring some artists for Art, UI Design, Level Design and maybe a 3D modeller for specific objects to give the game a sense of unique identity.

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«It resembles a tech demo. Pressing start will load a "floating" level with a God-Mode spinning camera, the ability to shoot, some turrets, and some enemies. You can't add turrets, complete or fail the level as of now. The last two would disrupt the testing of other features.
The Art assets are purchased from general-purpose marketplaces, rather than created specifically for this project, so the aesthetic may be lacking at the current stage.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«When the game exits Early Access the price will increase.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«As my expertise is rather technical than creative, the initial vision doesn't cover the game design, so I plan to gobble up all the suggestions and ideas the community has to offer.
I just know gore and funky shaders)

I intend to use the Steam forum for all the discussions as Steam is currently the only targeted distribution platform.»
