Wozu Early Access?

„This game is the result of two years of continuous research and development by me.
I believe that it has unique mechanisms that other games do not have, and I want to let everyone try it out.
I have many ideas for the future development and direction, but I need to verify if the game's mechanisms really have an audience, so I want to adopt an early access approach.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„Although the development time cannot be guaranteed, it can be estimated to some extent. The following are the estimated time frames:

• For each new mechanism and its corresponding level, it will take at least 2-4 months.
  
• Artwork may take about 3 months in total.
  
• Testing the game may take about 4-6 months.

The estimated total duration is at least 1.5 years and at most 2.5 years.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„In the future, I will try different types of level tasks, combining them with existing mechanisms to create new levels.
Somes are a series of connected levels, while others are interesting individual attempts.
On the artistic side, I hope to improve it further.
Although it may be difficult to improve the style, I can make changes in the same style so that each series of levels can have a different look, such as island style, ant style, trees, rocks, and so on, making the game art look very rich.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Currently, the game is a playable demo for testing purposes.
It includes 6 levels, a basic game mechanism, and an additional set of layered game mechanisms, with each set consisting of 3 levels.
The artwork is all created by me, but there hasn't been enough time to make it look significantly different for each level.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„The price will definitely increase. The full version of the game will be a complete package that includes mechanics, levels, art, music, story, and effects, many of which are not yet in place. As the game content and playtime increase, the price will gradually go up.

In terms of the extent of the increase, it will mainly be influenced by the mechanics and levels. The more rich and diverse the mechanics and levels, the longer the gameplay time, and the price will rise within a reasonable range.

Regarding the art and music, the final game content will increase, but they are not the main selling points of the game and will not have a significant impact on the price increase.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We will use a Discord server to allow players to interact directly with the developers and provide faster suggestions and feedback.
When developing new features, we also want to make greater use of videos to showcase them, without needing to build a new version on Steam each time.“
