Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«I want the full version to be more fleshed out and polished. I have a few ideas for features I want to add but the hope is the community will inspire more ideas. More buildings, more content, more fun! The specifics of how it'll all play out I am not sure of at this time. The game in the state it is in at present is pretty small but it is my hope the final project will be a little bigger and will provide the player with more to do.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«It has production buildings, a couple of recreation buildings, and some buildings that meet religious requirements. It has a basic trade system, a day-night cycle, and weather. Procedural island generation. Some population needs to be managed too. Enemies come at night to attack your town hall which you can protect with guard towers. The game has an event system to keep things a little more interesting and unpredictable.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Maybe but I can't say for certain just yet. This all depends on how the scope of the game changes. As of the time being I don't have any plans to raise the price.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?
