Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„Since Dragonspire is our first game, we want to make sure we’re on the right track. Early Access will involve an extended period of game development alongside the community, where we test new features and gather feedback from players to make sure Dragonspire is as awesome as it can be.

While in Early Access, you will be able to buy and play a work-in-progress version of Dragonspire, as well as optionally contribute to the game’s ongoing development. Each voice will be crucial in helping us to make informed choices about where to focus our time and resources. Once the game is far enough along, we will announce a release date, reset progress from Early Access, and compensate everyone for participating.”

„It's difficult to say since we won't release a game that doesn't meet our studio's or community's expectations. We expect at least 6-12 months, maybe longer.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„Early Access is a minimum viable version of the game, which will allow us to build features with the community. While we can't predict all the ways Dragonspire will evolve, some of the features we have planned include more Sagas, playable characters, game modes, and a seasonal progression system. That said, we're open to changing almost anything about the game, with a couple exceptions. We're committed to anime and multiplayer. Beyond that, anything is possible! When the game is performing well (based on industry-standard KPIs), our community is happy with the current state, and we've implemented all the planned features, we will move to an official release.”

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?

„Dragonspire is planned to release as free-to-play after Early Access. Those who support the game during Early Access will receive special compensation, including in-game currency and limited founder items. We feel this is the best way to support a game with mobile cross-play and ongoing client-server costs from multiplayer. We will share more details about the compensation closer to release.”
