Почему ранний доступ?

«Factor Y has been in development since late 2020 and is currently in a very good and playable state.
It still changes and improves a lot with every update.
I'd love to get feedback regarding new ideas and possible improvements.
That's why I decided to make an Early Access release.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«While there are multiple features I consider critical for a full release, I'm not solely focusing on implementing those.
I want to generally improve Factor Y and release it once I think it's in a good enough state and not changing too much anymore.
I expect the EA phase of Factor Y to certainly extend through 2023, likely even 2024.
This also highly depends on your feedback and feature requests during EA, since I'd love to add good ideas to it.»

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

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«Factor Y is currently in a very good and playable state.
I implemented the features I considered critical for leaving EA and could generally switch to a full release at any time.
With that said, I'm still adding major features and will only end the EA phase once I consider the game to be relatively stable.
Please note that there's no Steam Cloud support.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«I expect the price of Factor Y to gradually increase during Early Access.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«I'm already maintaining both a Discord server and a subreddit to post about the development progress and to receive your feedback.
I also plan on using the Steam Community tools in the future.»
