Varför Early Access?

“Releasing in Early Access allows us to get feedback sooner and incorporate that into the direction of the game. It also allows to take bigger swings and make larger changes based on player reactions than we could after our 1.0 launch. As a visual novel, the story of WCTF is the game, and it will be exciting to craft that story along with the community of players that finds and supports the game in Early Access.”

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

“WCTF will be released a series of episodes. We plan to release the full version after 1) all of those episodes have been completed, and 2) we've finished some additional features for 1.0. We estimate that will take us until the end of 2024 or early 2025.”

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

“The finished game (including all episodes) will be playable by the end of Early Access. The full version will add some additional features and include general bug fixes and polish. There are some other features that we know we want to add eventually (e.g. localization and full voice acting), but those would come in releases after 1.0 and the end of Early Access.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“For now, we'll be watching and participating in discussions here in the Steam community for this game. We don't have any immediate plans to create external community channels (e.g. a Discord server), but that's certainly something we could add in the future if there's interest.”
