Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“Ruins to Fortress is an indie passion project created by a two-person team, Simon and Markus. Since it's a multiplayer game with lots of features and items, there’s a significant amount of work involved. We're launching in Early Access to get help from the community in testing the multiplayer and ensuring everything works smoothly. Feel free to install the separate dedicated server or host the game yourself. Help us stress test the servers as we raise the maximum capacities. Your feedback will help us improve the game as we continue to develop it.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“Ruins to Fortress will be in Early Access until our vision for the game is complete. We have many plans, like adding new terrains, underground tunnels, more PvE/PvP content, and more items. We want everything to be polished, so it will take some time before we leave Early Access.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“The full version of Ruins to Fortress will expand on what’s available in Early Access. We plan to add more terrains, introduce underground exploration with tunnels and bunkers, and include more PvE/PvP content. There will also be a wider variety of items and improved game systems based on player feedback during Early Access. The final version will be a more complete and polished experience, with all our planned features fully realized.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“The foundation of Ruins to Fortress is complete, and we are mainly focused on adding new items, improving gameplay loops, and refining mechanics. There may still be some bugs in multiplayer, but after releasing a demo, we were able to fix and polish a lot based on what we learned from it. Players can host games themselves, and a dedicated server is available for running the game 24/7.”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“Ruins to Fortress will be free to play throughout Early Access and will remain free after its full release. As an indie game studio, releasing a multiplayer game is a significant challenge. We’re not just competing with other small studios but also with major companies producing massive titles. Many of these large multiplayer games are free but make their profits through costly skins, pay-to-win mechanics, unnecessary in-game currencies, and endless battle passes.

We get it—we dislike those systems as much as you do, and yet we often get drawn into them too. That’s why we've chosen a different approach: one that we hope you'll find appealing while still helping us cover development costs.

We’ll offer a single, optional DLC that will receive ongoing updates with fresh content like skins, backwall tiles, and more. This will be the only DLC we ever release for the game. Additionally, some skins will be available for separate purchase, but there will never be pay-to-win content, in-game currencies, or similar monetization systems.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?
