Чому дочасний доступ?

«NervBox is in its very early days. We’ve been iterating on the systems that enable a no-compromises VR physics simulation in multiplayer for over a year now, and they’re finally at a point where we’re confident in sharing it with the world.

Fully understanding what kinds of game modes and experiences are possible and work best in a rich multiplayer physics simulation is going to take time, trying a lot of new things, and an enormous amount of player feedback.

We also hope to better understand what simulation features players want most, whether it be vehicles, destructible props or maps, advanced NPCs, more physics-tools, or beyond. We want to make sure we’re spending our time building what players value most.

Finally, we’re aiming to build out a modding toolkit based on our internal tools to allow players and modders alike to easily build their own maps, weapons, and gamemodes alongside us as we all explore this exciting new frontier!»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«We don't have a definite timeline for when NervBox will leave early access.
We want to make sure that the core systems are as polished as possible and that we’ve explored what gameplay opportunities exist in a detailed multiplayer simulation.
In a vacuum, we expect these goals to be achievable within 8-12 months. However, given that we will be iterating and adding features and content based on feedback from early access players, we expect our scope and timeline to adjust accordingly.»

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

«The full version of NervBox will contain more simulation features, maps, game modes, weapons, and physics tools requested by the community.
In addition to the content created by us, we would like to build out a modding toolkit based on our internal tools to allow players to add and share their own content as easily as possible.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«Today, NervBox features fully physics-driven and networked players, interactions, simple physics-based NPCs, weapons, and a couple of physics-tools including a weld-gun.
We currently offer 2 maps with a 3rd in development, 3 game modes (Capture the Flag, Tower Defense, and Traitor) with plenty more planned, and an unlimited sandbox experience.»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«Our current plan is to gradually increase the price of NervBox as we ship new features and content.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«Community feedback is integral in building out an experimental game like NervBox.
We will be gathering feedback from players in our Discord to help us prioritize where we spend our development time.
We will also be working closely with modders to test our content-creation tooling and ensure they’re able to create the physics-driven experiences they want.»
