Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«The game was made in 2 semesters by a team of 60 students. Those two are gone now, and the development team has shrunk. We are currently working to finish the game. But while we wait, we want to release a playable version on Steam made by the whole team.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«With a smaller team and less regular work hours on the project, we expect the final version of Lumien to be released by the end of 2023.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The current version of Lumien contains 1/3 of the playable rooms and approximately 1/4 of the player abilities. Our goal is to implement missing rooms and abilities so players can use all planned functionality. Additionally, the final version of the game will have up to 3 bosses, and a more elaborate story ark.
In addition to implementing missing features, the game will be more polished and user-friendly than the current version.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The story that is included in Lumien as it stands has been edited. The beginning and part of the middle of the game are combined to create a finishable game. These were altered to complement one another and provide the player with a playable game—not the intended story arc.
We still want to fix various bugs and the poor user experience.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«No. Due to the fact that it was a student-created project and was made available by our university, the game will always be free. This also holds true for early access.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«To make sure the game is functioning properly with the recently added features, we intend to regularly post updates as it is being developed.»
