Почему ранний доступ?

«Red in the Dark is a deeply atmospheric survival game that mixes exploration, resource management, and psychological horror. Because the experience depends on player perception, balance, and tension pacing, Early Access lets us refine those systems through feedback on how players survive, explore, and interpret the world. The story and mechanics both depend on discovering what works in practice, not just theory.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«We plan to remain in Early Access for 2–5 months, depending on community feedback and the depth of additional content we build. The goal isn’t to stay open indefinitely and we want to reach a polished, complete version that reflects both our original vision and what resonates most with players.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The current build includes the core mechanics of light management and shadow monsters that attack your fire. The main enemy pathing is a few days away from being implemented.
Gameplay at this stage evolves around keeping shadows away from your fire and finding fuel to keep it alive, but there are no consequences yet.
There are content additions, balancing, tuning, and performance optimization being done at a quick pace. Many art and sound elements are missing, placeholders, or work-in-progress.
Keyboard/mouse support. »

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«We plan to keep the price the same during, and after Early Access. Our plan is to only change the price a single time when multiplayer is added, which will depend on the popularity of this feature in the community.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We will utilize Discord, TikTok, and YouTube to collect feedback, ideas, and player observations. The horror atmosphere depends on how players move, react, and survive, so this data and feedback directly shape how we balance tension, lighting, and enemy behaviors. We’ll publish transparent development notes and change logs throughout Early Access so players can see exactly what’s being built and why.»
