Miért a Korai Hozzáférés?

„Zeta Leporis RTS is in a playable and enjoyable state, even though not all of its intended features have been implemented. It isn't right to launch as a finished game with half or more of it missing, yet there's really no reason to make people wait to experience it, so Early Access seems like the right choice.

I'm a solo dev and I work on this game steadily in my free time. My initial hope was for this game to have a list of features comparable with classic RTS games at full release, such as custom and random maps, scenarios, a campaign, mod support, and perhaps most importantly multiplayer, with feedback from Early Access players helping me determine what to adjust, add, eliminate, and prioritize in development. However, overall interest level in the game has been low thus far, calling into question the viability of including some of these features.”

Körülbelül mennyi ideig lesz ez a játék a Korai Hozzáférésben?

„I expect the game will be in Early Access for one to two years, judging by development time up to this point. As a solo dev, an accurate estimate is difficult to provide, however.”

A tervek szerint miben fog különbözni a teljes verzió a korai hozzáférésűtől?

„As a classic-style RTS, there is a fairly large checklist of features that people expect the game to have, which, at least initially, the Early Access version will mostly not have. The main intent is to leave Early Access once multiplayer is successfully implemented, though there are other features that should also be included first, as well as efficiency and UI improvements. The eventual scope of the project will depend somewhat on community interest though. More interest will lead to more features, most likely on a shorter timeline as well. For example, currently there are no specific plans for a campaign mode and the engine I'm using is not modder-friendly, but such things could likely be added if there is enough interest.”

Milyen állapotban van jelenleg a korai hozzáférésű verzió?

„Zeta Leporis RTS currently features a singleplayer mode with up to 11 AI opponents on a highly customizable random map. The AI is competitive and generally competent, and difficulty and aggressiveness can be adjusted for each AI player. Though most of the ingame content is present, a couple specialty defensive units have not been added.

Multiplayer is currently under construction.”

Eltérően lesz árazva a játék a korai hozzáférés alatt és azt követően?

„The price will not change when Zeta Leporis RTS leaves Early Access.”

Hogyan tervezitek bevonni a közösséget a fejlesztés folyamatába?

„I'll be listening to community feedback, certainly, but I have a fairly solid vision for certain aspects of the game and so not every part of the game's development will be purely democratic. However if enough people complain about a thing long enough I find that feedback valuable and valid, and will change the thing. In theory anyway.

Please leave feedback in the community hub discussions forum.”
