Varför Early Access?

“I wanted to get an version out to the players while still in development, this invites players to help with decisions on which features they want implemented first, and to provide feedback on the development. And it will also help with acquiring funds for outsourcing things such as map design, so that a steady flow of content can be enjoyed in between major updates and to grow the team.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Depending on how well the game is received and how large the team will end up. If things go well, up to a year.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The game is very small right now, with a very simplistic gameplay loop. While it is fun as a party game with friends/strangers, I plan on expanding the scope as development continues.

Here are some planned features which are currently in development, but if/when they are finished may vary, this is not a promise of their implementation or their quality:

• Map States - Getting a Monster who hides the entire game or hunters who instead start building a small fort-knox will probably hold the game hostage, both sides need a stronger push than just bloodlust

• Weapon Variety - Who doesn't love more weapons?

• Monster Variety - Who says that The Hunted was the only test subject..

• Workshop support - Want to make and share your own map? Or maybe you have a weapon a weapon/gadget idea that is simply TOO good to NOT implement.

• Hunter customization - While they are expected to keep a professional profile, who says they can't add a little character to their outfits. Just don't expect anything silly like floppy bunny ears, right?.

• Matchmaking - For those who just want to play without having to worry being in a group or becoming a part of a server community.

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Only two maps in the game, and weapon/monster variety is low. While playable, it solely depends on players to host servers/lobbies themselves, with no proper matchmaking implemented. While fun for friend groups, clans, and LAN parties, it may be difficult to find an active server by yourself.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We strongly believe in the value of community involvement throughout our development process. Feedback from the community will play a pivotal role in shaping the game, influencing the addition, modification, or removal of features based on its reception.

While we hold a creative vision for the game, we acknowledge that developers can sometimes make mistakes or overlook certain aspects. In Early Access, we actively encourage and welcome community feedback to address any potential issues early on. This ensures that problems are identified and resolved promptly, without extensive investment of time and resources into features that players may ultimately dislike.

By actively engaging with the community during Early Access, we aim to avoid situations where developers are unwilling to make necessary changes due to pride or the extensive effort already invested. Our goal is to create an enjoyable and satisfying gaming experience that aligns with the desires and preferences of our player community.

We genuinely appreciate the valuable insights and perspectives our community brings to the table, and we are committed to working hand in hand with you to shape the game into something exceptional. Your feedback matters, and together, we can create an extraordinary gaming experience.”
