¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de Acceso anticipado?

“The Early Access version of Core Trials introduces the game's core mechanics and content. You’ll experience motion-based bullet hell action, dodging and surviving various attack patterns. With a focus on learning from failure, you may struggle initially but can retry, learn, and eventually prove yourself to the masters. You can expect this in the current version:

Core Gameplay:

• Dodging is the primary mechanic, requiring you to physically move to avoid attacks.
  
• Brushing past attacks is a secondary mechanic, rewarding close dodges with more score. (The tutorial in settings provides further details on the mechanics.)
  
• The scoring system lets you challenge yourself and beat your previous scores.

Content:

• This version features 6 Trial Masters, each with unique attack patterns.
  
• You’ll face around 30 different attack patterns from various elemental forces, offering about 30 minutes of intense experience.
  
• Levels are replayable, encouraging you to improve and surpass your high scores.

More content and changes will be added in upcoming updates, including new mechanics, levels, and features.”

¿El precio del juego será diferente durante y después del Acceso anticipado?

“Yes, we strongly believe that a higher price once we leave Early Access is fair, and most importantly, it will help us develop the game further based on your feedback.”

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

“The community is at the core of Core Trials. We plan to engage with you in three key ways:

Feedback Loop:

Your feedback is essential to us. We want the game to evolve based on your suggestions and ideas, so we’ll gather feedback through Discord, social channels, Steam forums, and in-game features.

Planning and Prioritization:

We’ve shared our vision for the full version, and with your input, we’ll identify and prioritize the features and changes that will make Core Trials the most enjoyable experience for you.

User-Generated Content:

We want Core Trials to showcase the creativity of our community. We seek your input on everything from attack patterns to character art and personalities, ensuring the game reflects your contributions.

Together, we’ll make Core Trials a game everyone loves.”
