Почему ранний доступ?

«Songs of Silence is a pivotal game for Chimera Entertainment. It’s not only the most ambitious title we’ve ever created; it’s the first time we’ve created a unique world from scratch. We want to make sure this project takes as much feedback from fans on board before launch as possible.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«We anticipate the Early Access phase will continue for 4 to 5 months. We have a rough plan of what needs to be accomplished before releasing the finished product (which you can find below). Still, we value the feedback we receive from our players and are willing to dedicate extra time to incorporate their suggestions.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«Whilst we plan for the Early Access build to include all the important features and mechanics from the full release, we intent on having marked improvements in the full version. We plan to release a full game with 8 campaign maps compared to four in Early Access, as well as extra multiplayer & skirmish maps; additional quality of life features and extended game modes (modifiers for multiplayer, difficulty levels as example); better game balancing, and incorporated player feedback on QoL adjustments from players.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The Early Access candidate of the game is currently in the Beta state: most features and content are done - but we are adding more maps in both single and multiplayer. We are currently running a closed beta to verify the game.
Some of the player feedback collected through the demo and Closed Beta has not yet been implemented or is still being worked on. The game is still being optimized for performance.
The four campaign maps for Early Access are in final testing right now, while the last 4 campaign maps (the target for Full Release) are still in Beta and require iteration and stabilization.

For the complete list of features included in the Early Access, please consult the "About This Game" section on the game's page.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«We do not plan to increase the price after Early Access. However, seasonal discounts may be available during Early Access, including a launch discount for early adopters.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We test all updates before releasing them to the public. To facilitate this, we are currently running a closed beta, which is accessible to nearly 1,000 beta testers. Anyone can apply for beta tester status to join the closed beta.

We value and analyze all feedback on all our channels, including an official Discord server where we interact with the Community daily. We have an in-game crash reporting tool and a public bug tracker with upvoting functionality to address potential bugs. Additionally, we will work with our Community to create an official Songs of Silence Wiki.»
