Por que acesso antecipado?

"Mostly because it's intimidating to release this project I've been working on for 3 years, since I was in 6th grade. However, despite being nowhere near completion, I feel that this game can be a worthwhile VR experience for many. I aim to provide the best experience for an even wider range of audience in the future.

Ever since I started coding at 6 years old (2014), I always had a strange attraction towards procedural generation and the idea of an universe molded by computer logic instead of nature and science. Out of sheer curiosity, I started work on it in 2021. Despite having no budget or experience, I was thrilled to see the positive effect that this experience had on my peers, and I was able to push the project into early access. Player feedback has been at the core of Drift Abyss’s development process and now I would like to invite VR users around the world!"

Por quanto tempo aproximadamente este jogo estará em acesso antecipado?

"It’s hard to tell when Drift Abyss will become something I would consider a finished game, especially as a middle school student from Japan studying in the U.S. through scholarship support. However, I am currently aiming to reach version 1.0 by September 2024 while steadily releasing updates. Regardless of completion, I will continue to improve this product through user feedback!"

Como a versão completa será diferente da versão de acesso antecipado?

"My current bucket list for the full version includes:

Crazier terrain generator
Real lore and questline (may experiment with adaptive / branching questline to take full advantage of the terrain generator!)
Photo/terrain based gameplay gimmicks
Performance, graphical and other technical improvements (e.g. origin shifting, voxel-based light calculations, etc.)"

Qual é o estado atual da versão de acesso antecipado?

"In the early access version, players can experience the prologue of the overarching story of DriftAbyss, as well as a preview of the gameplay mechanics. Players can explore the crazy, expressive and sometimes beautiful landscapes that expand forever in all 6 directions (x+, y+, z+, x-, y-, z-)."

O preço do jogo será alterado após o fim do acesso antecipado?

"The current plan is to increase the price once upon hitting version 1.0."

Como vocês planejam envolver a comunidade durante o processo de desenvolvimento?

"Any feedback is welcome through Steam reviews, our official website (8legs.jp), 8legs.jp@gmail.com and @8legsjp / #8legsjp / #driftabyss on Twitter/X or Instagram. I will try my best to keep my eyes on all of the aforementioned platforms to take in consideration. I am also planning to set up a Discord server once I accumulate some traction!"
