Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“In a case like ours, where the Strategy/City Building genre meets expansive and complex industrial production trees, we feel that the players must be included in the game's constant process of evolution. New Cycle sports a wide range of gameplay mechanics per its genre and by design, and for this universe of multiple intertwining input variables to operate in the form of a focused and enjoyable experience, we believe that guidance and feedback from players who love the genre will lead to our game reaching a much higher level of completeness and quality.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“The exact duration of this period will depend on feedback from our players about what adjustments should be made on the game's core mechanics and whether we can create new game modes based on the desires of our community. Our current plan is to stay in Early Access for 12 to 24 months.”

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

“In the Early Access build of New Cycle, all core mechanics, including the social class system, production trees, seasonal and daily cycles, construction, trade, managing exploration units and internal events will be possible to experience in two different biomes, whether in Sandbox Mode or Campaign Mode.
In the full release, more variety will be provided for the fundamental gameplay to be experienced across different maps and biomes, each with their unique challenges.
Additionally, community feedback will be utilized throughout the Early Access period in order to determine what new game modes should be added; we have ideas ranging from adding defensive combat mechanics to different types of mechanized entities.
The full release will also include mechanics related to creating outposts and expanding a settlement. They are already playable in Early Access, but we will add more advanced constructions for a more impactful utilization of these mechanics.
We are also planning polished and tailored ambient sounds, as well as improvements for all animations of buildings, characters and task completion. The narrative content of the game will also be diversified. The full release will improve on the backgrounds of many characters and communities, that are currently included in Early Access.”

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

“Aside from our active forums and our Discord space, we aim to manage the collective decision-making mechanism by gathering player feedback and evaluating said feedback through a ticket system that we want to integrate directly into the game during Early Access.”
