De ce acces timpuriu?

„Maybe you do not remember, but I do. Minecraft was a fantastic experience in 2010 and for the few years that followed post-launch. Many forget that It was only fantastic because the community complained, the big man listened, and fun ideas were added simply for fun.

This is that
.

We want your feedback while we are in EA. Ultimate Player Freedom can be realized alone within our small team, but if we allow people to comment on what is happening while it is happening we can make improvements/important changes earlier rather than too late.

Without early access we would have this product in development anyways. In fact, you can play a prototype from 2019 right now that took about 6 months to build. We know what we want to do, and have for years (at least I did). That prototype is only a glimpse, and it is old, it's also a prototype. This is a game. This game is what I have personally wanted to create for a little more than half of a decade and now it is coming true.

That is not to say we will not want, or even require more feedback post year 1 but our internal roadmap gives us the wiggle room to provide weekly (if not daily) updates containing our goals as well as what everyone else might want.”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în acces timpuriu?

„The Early Access period is planned for 12 months post EA launch. This may extend, but our plan is too keep it within a year.”

Cum se va diferenția versiunea completă de cea disponibilă în acces timpuriu?

„he core features are there, but we plan to expand that list.

If we go into too much detail, the game will be spoiled or potentially over-promised but the overall plan is to flesh out the 5 floors that are required to "complete" the game, and do a lot of server, and client optimization,

This does not mean it will take us 12 months to add new content (or even a new floor), we simply do not want to promise anything that isn't there like many sandbox games do.

Remember, the game is free, you can check out how it's doing at any time.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în acces timpuriu?

„There are a lot of expansive features we plan to add over the coming months, but the core features are there already meaning if we were to say "hey, no more early access" there wouldn't be an uproar over a missing game.

Right now (as of Early Access Launch/Day 1) you can build, destroy, kill, "commit to chaos", talk to other players, explore at least 1 floor, collect items, and play on a persistent world.

Beyond day 1, you are free to read our constant and consistent Steam Announcements. Most people do not even read this section, but if you are then the Steam Announcements are great and probably right up your ally as an avid reader.

For those who have come from my previous projects, you know I update often and keep my messages direct. I do what I can and now with a team I can do a lot more.”

Jocul va avea prețuri diferite pe durata accesului timpuriu și după părăsirea acestuia?

„The final price is shown. There will never be a price change. There may be expansions, but no expansion, dlc, etc. will ever over-shadow what you already get in the base game. The game is a free game. ”

Cum intenționezi să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„All feedback is welcome. Within a Steam post, a Discord dm, an angry tweet, a response to an announcement: it will all be read minimally, if not responded to.

I personally (the project lead) have years of experience knowing when and how to accept user feedback (your feedback). You can see any of my previous games and know I do what I do as best as I can.

If you have something you want added, removed, changed, etc: the Steam Discussions are the best way to talk about it.”
