Чому дочасний доступ?

«I've chosen Early Access as a crucial step in bringing my first main project to life. This approach allows me to release the game in stages, with each chapter or case unveiled progressively. This method not only helps in managing the development workload but also in gauging player reactions and feedback at each step.

Early Access provides a unique opportunity for me to engage directly with the community. Your feedback will be invaluable in shaping the narrative, mechanics, and balance of the game. While I have a clear vision for the game, I'm open to considering thoughtful adjustments based on player insights, where they align with the game's overall direction. This collaborative process is not just about building a game; it's about creating an experience that resonates with and excites our players.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«Updated Timeline: Starting as a solo developer, my aim was a full release by Q1 2024. However, thanks to funding from Screenwest’s Digital Games Production Fund, I'm now expanding the team. This is a major leap, bringing more resources and fresh ideas to the project. Consequently, we're adjusting our exit from Early Access to Q3 2024. This extension is key to delivering a more polished and immersive game. I appreciate your support and patience during this exciting transition.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«The goal is to methodically release three chapters, gradually building the game’s full narrative arc. Alongside these major updates, I'll be dedicating effort to continuous minor enhancements, particularly in the realms of art and mechanics. This consistent refinement is designed to elevate the player's experience incrementally, keeping the game fresh and engaging throughout its evolution.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«Early Access Progress Report: Currently, Chapter One is available in Early Access, having undergone improvements in UI and mechanics. As development progresses, especially with the creation of the next two chapters, there may be further enhancements in art and game mechanics. Each major update will introduce a new chapter, with a total of three planned. Please note that during these updates, saved files can be affected, but I'm committed to minimising this risk. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«The price of the game is subject to change as we continue to add new content and features. Specifically, we will evaluate the pricing at major milestones, such as the release of Chapter Two. While we anticipate a price increase for the final release to reflect the value of the complete game, we aim to keep our community informed and provide fair notice before any changes. Remember, purchasing the game during Early Access allows you to enjoy current and future content at today's price.»
