Чому дочасний доступ?

«Spiritus Vindicta is made possible by a very small team of one. Consequentially, there's only so much that can be done without bringing the game to more players. Getting feedback is important in making the changes needed to keep the game fun.

No need to worry though, the game's main story is already complete and you'll see the credits roll once finishing the story. However, this doesn't mean it can't be refined, updated, or changed. I have an idea of what's fun, what's hard, or what's easy, but this doesn't mean that other players will see it the same way I do. Ealy Access is a chance to see other's opinions that can drive changes in the difficulty of the game, changes to ghost behavior, or even changes to the story.

What I hope to accomplish with Early Access comes down to:
- Refining the core gameplay such as ghost behavior
- Refining progression: unlocks, money and xp rewards
- Refining the layout or details of maps
- Refining sound effects, music, story content
- Discovering and removing bugs»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«It's hard to make an exact timeline, but considering that a lot of the game's content is ready to go, the goal is to be in Early Access for a few months. Once feedback to the game is addressed, the full version can release and any post-release updates can continue from there.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«Everything in the "About This" for the game is implemented and ready to go. The ghosts are ready to hunt, the maps are ready to be explored, evidence is ready to be logged, and exorcisms are ready to be performed. The main story is playable from start to finish.

So what's going to be different?

There is currently one planned update for the full version of the game. This update will be some extra story content for the hardest ghost (class 10 ghost) that you can find if you keep playing after the main story. This content will include story text, a unique map, and a unique song (cassette tape) for the ghost.

With player input there are plenty of things that can be changed and improved before final release.
Gameplay:
Major changes to core gameplay should not be expected, but there's room for improvement for the systems around it.
For Example:
- Changes to ghost behavior.
- Modifications to values behind the scenes that drives attacks, hunts, evidence, character panic, etc.
- Progression: changes to the money and XP earned during investigations, or when items/ghosts are unlocked.

Content:
As with gameplay, player feedback can drive changes in content too.
For Example:
- Modified or added story text.
- changes to sound effects.
- modified or added tools/items.
- changes to music.
- modified sprites.
- modified UI»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«Any and all feedback is welcome and will help shape what kinds of changes this game will see during Early Access. As mentioned earlier, the tweaks and improvements I want to make to the game will come from player voices, so please share what comes to your mind here on steam discussions and I will be responding to what you think every couple of weeks along with the planned updates based on it.»
