Por que acesso antecipado?

"The project is currently solo indie development work and can only get so far with its limited resources and manpower. As well, this gives the players a chance to help shape the games world and content. Even in beta, we had a slew of great game suggestions. Many of which made their way into the game in some form or another. Though I may not always approve feature requests from players (if it compromises the vision or spirit of the project), I do appreciate the insight as even a rejected feature request can provide insight into player needs and feelings."

Por quanto tempo aproximadamente este jogo estará em acesso antecipado?

"The planned development timeline for Sojo completing its full breadth of content is roughly by December 25th of 2027. I want to give the game plenty of time to mature into a fully immersive online world with the help and input from our community."

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

"The full version of Sojo would have many expanded areas beyond the first isle, updated graphics and models, more platforming challenges, and expanded character development options beyond the initial traits and class abilities. As well, a more robust and involved path of quests and endgame content.

As well, further options for support that do not include a regular subscription if at all possible. The game has non-pay2win cash shop entries that help finance infrastructure costs. The ideal is not ever needing anything even close to pay2win to keep the game running."

Qual é o estado atual da versão de acesso antecipado?

"Current state of EA includes the entire first isle quest and areas. For fresh players, playing with a group of three others, the playtime tends to run from 60-120 hours, experienced players can expect to complete the content of the island faster, while inexperienced players might take longer. Groups of players are required for finishing the games content.

For more details see the main store page description on what is available."

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

"Yes, a moderate price increase would reflect the value and effort placed throughout the entire EA development process. This is subject to the infrastructure costs and would likely go away if a subscription based model was used instead. All users who purchased the game before the changeover for a one-time fee would then be granted a pro-rated paid time access to the game service."

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

"The Sojo Discord is the best place to get involved with the games development. There are specific sections I check daily and provide feedback for under #bugs and #feature-requests, as well as class channels and especially the Patron only channels. Since beta, our players have been providing feedback, suggestions, and feature requests, and many have made it to live in game. I also regularly lurk around in the game worlds observing and conversing with players on their thoughts and takes on the game. Any constructive feedback is welcome!"
