Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«Early Access allows us to launch Tales of Maana: Lucy progressively while continuing active development. Not all visuals are final yet, some mechanics are still in progress, and although the full story is already written, it is not fully implemented in the game.

It is also a way to gather player feedback. Everything is planned, but changes are possible, whether in gameplay mechanics or narrative elements.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«There is no fixed timeline. The goal is to release one chapter per month, though that pace may vary depending on development progress and community feedback. The game will remain in Early Access until the full planned content is available.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The final version will include:

• Fully polished visuals created by professional artists
  
• The complete Lucy campaign
  
• A second campaign focused on Rose, unlocked after completing Lucy’s story
  
• Expanded narrative choices
  
• Additional gameplay systems

During Early Access, placeholder visuals may be present, some choices might not be available, and several features will evolve over time.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The current version includes the very beginning of Lucy’s story. It is playable and available for free. Some finalized visuals are already in place, but most are still in development. The game is still in an early phase, both in terms of graphics and gameplay systems.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«Yes. The game will be completely free for the first few chapters. As more content is added, the price will gradually increase.

• Around 5 $ at the end of the first story arc
  
• 10 $ at the start of the third arc
  
• Final price is expected to be between 15 $ and 20 $

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«A dedicated Discord server is linked on the game’s page. Player feedback will be actively collected and taken into account. While the overall vision of the game is set, community input can influence development decisions throughout Early Access.»
