Почему ранний доступ?

«Iron Mandate is in Early Access because we want to get feedback from early adopters before commiting on a specific direction for the game. We feel that our game can only achieve its full potential through the feedback of as many players as possible. It is also a big commitment, both in time and money, to complete the game so we want to get it right.

The game is entirely playable and completable as it is, we mainly need to finish iterating the visuals and sound design.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«Iron Mandate will be in Early Access for at least a year in order to get a sufficiently large number of players to try it out and give feedback.»

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

«We plan to add graphics and sound design worthy of a modern indie game. The gameplay would remain mostly the same but with a bit more content such as enemies and weapons. We don't rule out a bigger change in the core structure of the game but it is likely going to remain a roguelike.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The current Early Access version is entirely playable. There is a tutorial, players will face a variety of possible roguelike runs and there is an ending.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«The game will be free during its entire Early Access phase. First because we want as many people to test our game and let us know how they like it but second because we do not feel confortable making players pay for an incomplete game.

Once released, the game will be priced similarly to other indie roguelike games: Somewhere between 5$ and 15$.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«Players can use Steam's forums to communicate with us and tell us what they think is missing, what they think is broken or not functionning correctly and what they wish wasn't in it. We will keep a close eye on these forums in order to iterate and improve on the game.»
