Почему ранний доступ?

«Altered Algorithm is a different proposal in the single player adventure game. We want to expand on the concept of AFFORDABLE story games by condensing length, which allows for more detailed and rich worlds to explore within episodes. We want our players to participate in the development process and give us insights about this narrative driven experience for players. The goal is to eventually build triple-A visuals with indie pricing across the board.

That’s why Early Access was clearly a great platform for this game and now we can continue to build the journey together!”»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«Bringing Altered Algorithm to its full potential will take some time, especially that our team is small. We cannot state a specific date, but we are hoping to exit Early Access by September 2023. We are also aiming to build more episodes dependent on player responses and support of Episode I.»

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

«The Early Access version introduces a solid foundation for Episode I, but the final release will have a richer story, more improved tactile controller experience, enhanced gun, puzzle, and FMV interaction gameplay, plus a bountiful number of interactive items in the world to play with. We are also considering converting Episode I to be fully playable without VR, if the support for that option is requested by players.

Now with your support, we plan to build an even more unique and exciting experience filled with environmental FMV elements that react dynamically to different situations, plus story elements, deeper adventures around exploration and many other ideas I have!»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«Many simple core mechanics and features are present and are still being polished, like interactivity with dynamic FMV (Full Motion Video) characters and simple FMV Enemy AI, plus gun gameplay. Please, refer to the "About This" section to learn about our features, but for now we want your help to bring the final pieces in place! We hope you understand that the game is still in active development, so you may witness a few odd bugs, and features are subject to change and grow.”»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Right now, the game experience is free! It's all about your feedback and spreading the word for us to grow this gameplay + story. Once we hit full release, we either plan to keep Episode I free and add any updates we've made to the game. This way we only add pricing to future Episodes as they release. Those who already own Episode I (while in Early Access), could possibly see discounted pricing for future Episodes. The other option is too possible add a small price to the full launch of Episode I to those who haven't participated in Early Access. At least this gives everyone an idea of how we could approach this.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«During the early development of Altered Algorithm, we’re proud to keep a close relationship with our community through discord and other social platforms.

We have a Twitter and Instagram page where you can write to us. We ALWAYS do our absolute best to answer as many of your messages as we can. We can also promise to do our best to take your feedback and ideas into consideration, because we believe that it will lead to the best possible game made for the players, by the players.»
