早期アクセスにした理由

“By releasing the game as early access, we get the opportunity to make Lexicon the best possible version of itself based on your feedback. Lexicon is very much still a work in progress with only 2 out of 8 main locations completed. However, we want to share what we have with the gaming community.

We totally understand most people want to play a fully developed game. If you want to support our relatively new studio in other ways, check out our social media pages and wiki to see what we’re up to.

We hope that you join us on our development journey, but if you don’t, that’s cool too! Whatever you decide, feel free to visit our store page for the latest updates. We’d love to have you play our game!”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“Our current plan is to stay in early access for the next two years allowing us to build out the remaining 6 unique locations in Lexicon and refine the game as a whole. As we develop further, we’ll be sure to let you know about our final release date.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“The full version will contain the entire Lexicon story including all 8 locations with refined art, music, dialogue, translations, puzzles, and controls. The early access version of the game will expand as new worlds are added and is subject to change as we implement your user feedback.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“Our early access version of Lexicon contains the first 2 locations in the game which we estimate will take you about 2 hours to complete. Since our game is a linear narrative, these first 2 locations give the player a taste of what is to come. They teach the player how to play the game, contain relatively simple puzzles, and set up the world’s story. As we develop further, more mechanics and more complex puzzles will be added to the game.

Although we have worked diligently to rid the game of annoying bugs, this is our first iteration of Lexicon in the early access phase. As such, bugs will unfortunately appear from time to time, and we need your help to squash them. When you experience a bug, please let us know, so we can make the game the very best it can be.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“Yes. During early access, we will slightly increase the price of the game after each addition of a new location. After early access, we will maintain a stable price as the game will likely only require basic maintenance. We will be sure to inform the community across Steam and our social media channels before each major update and price change.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“Our goal of being in early access is to learn from the community and make Lexicon the best it can be. As such, your feedback will directly influence Lexicon’s evolution, and we can’t wait to go on this exciting journey with you!

To give feedback on the game, we encourage you to share your thoughts, report bugs, and engage with fellow players on our Steam feedback page. In the future, we may open a Subreddit or Discord server to interact with you further. #duckinadungeon”
