Varför Early Access?

“Deadville's decision to launch in Early Access was driven by several key factors that aimed to benefit both the development team and the players:

Community Involvement and Feedback:
Early Access allows developers to engage with the player community early on in the development process. By releasing the game in this phase, developers can gather valuable feedback, suggestions, and bug reports directly from players. This two-way communication helps in identifying issues, refining gameplay mechanics, and prioritizing features based on player preferences.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“The duration of a game's Early Access phase can vary widely depending on the complexity of the game, the development team's goals, and how much work is required to achieve the desired level of polish and content. It will most likely stay in early access approximately for a year.

The development team behind Deadville will closely monitor player feedback and the game's performance during Early Access to guide their decisions on how long the phase should last. The duration of Early Access will ultimately depend on how smoothly the development progresses, how well the team addresses player feedback, and their commitment to delivering a high-quality and engaging final product.

As a player interested in Deadville, it's essential to stay informed through official announcements, developer updates, and community discussions to get a sense of the development's pace and progress. Remember that the time spent in Early Access is ultimately aimed at making the game the best it can be before the full release, and player feedback plays a crucial role in shaping the game's future direction.”
