Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'We chose to release MonTamer Maker in early access to involve the community in the project early on to have them along for updates, and implement what the community wants, rather than what the devs think is best for the community. We think releasing MonTamer Maker on a solid base and allowing it to grow alongside its users, implementing the most highly suggested/requested features and improvements will be vital to the project.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We plan to leave MonTamer Maker in Early Access for at least 1 or 2 years. Additionally, we plan to push out updates even following a transition into full access. This is because, rather than releasing new versions, we'd instead like to continue to offer free updates for as long as possible. '

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The full version is planned to have additional features that the early access version of the game will not have. Additionally, if needed, we plan to recreate any existing systems, if it is observed that a need to do so to improve workflow or user experience is outlined by the community.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'At current, you can make monster tamer games as intended like so; Customize monster stats, evolution level, movepools, names and descriptions. Define move names, attributes, damage and accuracy amounts. Create and Edit rooms with a room manager and tileset system that can later be played and explored after pressing the play button. Test out monsters and moves in a Teambuilder and Simulation screen, and "Play" your game by launching into the game from the editor, where you can explore rooms (either ones you made, or the Example Map), talk to NPCs, battle trainers, and use the menus normally like a normal RPG video game.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'We do not intend to increase the price, but in the event the app becomes popular enough, and receives enough updates, we may increase the price as drastic improvements and new features are added over time.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'Including the community in the development process is the main drive behind an early access release. We'd like to implement community feedback from an early stage to improve the app and add highly requested features based on what the community wants, rather than what the developers think is the best. We plan to do this by being active in the Steam community hub, on Discord, and on our social media outlets, and plan to run polls, request feedback, and communicate to real users about real wants and needs for the app. '
