Miért a Korai Hozzáférés?

„Instead of releasing a full game when it is finished, we want to allow players to follow and influence the story as it grows.

Early access allows us to see in real-time what plotlines players like the most and expand on them.
This doesn't mean that some could be removed but how much players like certain plotlines will determine how much extra fan service will be added to the basic plot.

During early access, players can go through the parts of the story that are already finished and voice their opinion on certain characters, scenes, and plotlines. Especially in the later stages of the story, we plan to rely on this feedback to see if we are still on the right path or if we need to change some of the later content.”

Hogyan tervezitek bevonni a közösséget a fejlesztés folyamatába?

„There are twelve women that our MC interacts with throughout A Foreign World's basic plot. Each of them can roughly be considered as one plotline of the game. After going through the story that's already finished, we encourage players to reach out to us via Twitter or Discord and tell us about their experience with our game. This Feedback helps to determine which plotlines are best received. In future updates, these will then be explored in greater detail than the parts players aren't interested in.
In simple terms, we would like to find out which of the twelve women is enjoyed the most and offer additional fan service.

Besides that, we believe that writing a good story is a very interactive process. There is more to it than just listening to your audience and giving them what they ask for, but listening is still a crucial part. The feedback that reaches us will be considered in the later updates of the game, helping us to add a satisfying conclusion to our half-finished story.

In the best case, this results in the visual novel players came here to play, rather than a visual novel that we think players came here to play.”
