Kenapa Akses Awal?

“Crab Raid Tactics is a unique combination of genres, and making it right will require iterations. I want to stay in touch with the community to see how new ideas and features resonate with players.”

Berapa lama permainan ini dijangka akan berada dalam Akses Awal?

“The plan is to release the game in less than a year. This is a reasonable time frame for the planned scope, but since the development speed depends on a single person with no permanent place to stay - delays might occur.”

Apakah perbezaan yang dirancang antara versi penuh dan versi Akses Awal?

“Features that are currently planned for the full game:

Bagaimanakah keadaan semasa versi Akses Awal?

“The game is in a playable state with minimal content. Some crucial features have not been implemented yet, but the core of the game is close to being complete. That, of course, will depend on the feedback collected during playtests.

Content that is currently available:

• 7 Crabs to choose from
  
• 5 active abilities
  
• 17 passive upgrades
  
• 3 areas, each with 2 arenas.
  
• Arena Events system - random situations that arise during the fight. Some are tied to certain Areas, some can be unlocked through progression.
  
• 3 types of enemies - melee, ranged and support, with several variations
  
• A single boss encounter
  
• Tanking mechanics & enemy AI - enemies track which target is the most threatening
  
• Elements & Elemental reactions - combining multiple elements together trigger additional effects
  
• Ambition & Aspirations - another layer of customization for crabs, focusing on their behavior
  
• Endless Raid mode (continue the raid after beating a boss for an increased challenge)
  
• Permanent upgrades system (1st iteration, needs more work)

Adakah harga permainan ini berbeza semasa dan selepas Akses Awal?
