Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“Project Electric Sheep is an exciting and complex game with lots of features already enabled, and lots more planned in the near future! As we continue to implement these new features and iron out a few existing bugs, we're really keen to give players access to the game so far. We want people to be able to start creating and exploring their own AI dreams, and we want to gather player feedback in order to find and fix more bugs prior to improve the game prior to full release.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“We currently estimate the game to be in Early Access for about 6 months. We have an internal roadmap with exciting features which we would love to see in the game before leaving Early Access. However, it is also our intention to listen closely to the community’s thoughts and feedback, and prioritise what players most want to see in the game, which will affect the time spent in Early Access.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“There are some features planned for the full release – for instance, AI-generated news articles – which will not be implemented in the Early Access version.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“The Early Access version is in a good, playable state. Players will be able to generate and explore their own dreamworlds, chat to NPCs individually or in groups, and see graffiti, advertisements and Dall·E-2 artwork generated by their dream prompt. Players will also be able to explore pre-generated dreamworlds.”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“Pre-existing dreamworlds are free to explore, while generating new dreamworlds or replying to NPCs uses paid-for credits. The base game currently comes with 1500 credits, or enough to create up to 15 dreamworlds. After that, players who want to keep creating dreams can purchase additional credits at the same price. This pay-as-you-dream approach reflects the costs of the generative AI models used in the game's technology.

There are no current plans to change the pricing structure of Project Electric Sheep once it leaves early access. Since launch, we have already reduced the cost of dreams based on the most up-to-date player data. Post-launch, the cost of credits may go up or down again to reflect any changes in the cost of AI generations, but it will always be free to revisit your own dreams or dreams created by other players.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“We have a Discord server for Project Electric Sheep feedback which we monitor very actively. We will point players towards this server to give feedback on bugs and features, and to stay updated on development progress. Here is the Discord server: https://discord.gg/yvFPcNKAgX.”
