De ce acces timpuriu?

„I have been developing the game for about 2 years now. Being an independent developer, I am passionate about designing and implementing the features with the help of the community. Many of the features you see in the game are based on the feedback of those taking part in playtests. Early Access will let me share an early version of the game with a broader audience, and hopefully build a community as we go!”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în acces timpuriu?

„The game will be in Early Access until all of the core systems are implemented and polished. I am expecting the stay in Early Access for a few years at least as we iterate over the game, improve on the design and make sure the experience is scalable and stable as we add more players.”

Cum se va diferenția versiunea completă de cea disponibilă în acces timpuriu?

„The Early Access version will be a playable, fun, well-rounded experience. For the full release, I plan to expand on the non-core systems (potentially include features like sea travel) and the playable area (if we have enough players, we may consider moving beyond a single island). My development philosophy is to slowly add features based on player feedback.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în acces timpuriu?

„The game is currently playable with some of the core features implemented - including combat, crafting, player progression, NPC conversations, plot ownership and house decoration, custom items, cooperative quests, and trade.

The core game loop is working, and there are some cooperative aspects implemented. You can explore a part of the island, specialize your character, collect unique items, and craft around ~50 unique item types. The game features get added quite quickly and are often iterated on, so feel free to check our Discord for the latest patch notes and project updates!”

Jocul va avea prețuri diferite pe durata accesului timpuriu și după părăsirea acestuia?

„The price will likely increase throughout development. I am developing the game in a sustainable way (funding it myself), and am keen to keep the playtests free. As the server costs increase and more players get added, I will start monetizing the game to keep the development going. Being a cooperative social game, it is my goal to make sure the monetization doesn't disrupt the game balance but instead makes it a nicer experience for both you and those around you.”

Cum intenționezi să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„The community is a foundational pillar of the development process. Community feedback is invaluable and I hope I can expand the community through Steam! The community building aspects are one of my favourite parts of making a game, so I plan to involve the community in helping design, prioritize, and test the core features of the game.”
