早期アクセスにした理由

“Hey everyone, it's MFA GAMES here! We wanted to shed some light on why we're going with the Early Access route for 'The Skyland Chronicles' on Steam.

Connecting with you all: A big reason we're doing Early Access? We want a tighter bond with our community. Seriously, your feedback and ideas mean the world to us. We want you guys to feel like you're right in this with us and that we're really listening.

Making it right for you: Look, we get it. Everyone's different. Everyone's expecting something unique from a game. This way, we can tweak 'The Skyland Chronicles' to make sure it's hitting the mark for as many of you as possible.

Backing us when it counts: Making a game? It's a huge deal. Your support during Early Access? It's gonna let us keep the lights on and make sure the game lines up with what we first dreamed of.

Keeping things clear: We're all about being open with you. We want you to know where we're at, what's coming up, and that we're in this together. We think that's a win-win.

Big thanks for sticking with us. We're stoked for what's ahead for 'The Skyland Chronicles', and we can't wait to show you what we're cooking up!”

このゲームは大体どのくらいの期間早期アクセスですか？

“We're planning for the Early Access phase to last roughly from December 2024 to the summer of the following year.”

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 planned full version of the game will be much richer in content than the Early Access version. We aim to bring you the first part of a story based on a book, which depicts the life of our main character, the pirate Franco, in our world. In the full version, we trace his adventures before his rebirth in the fantastical world of The Skyland, where he must fulfill his destiny. The Early Access version will give you a glimpse into the initial stages of this epic tale, while the full release will immerse you deeply into this extraordinary story.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“Currently, after completing the pre-alpha stage, we have moved on to the alpha phase, where we are focusing on precisely refining various segments of our project during the early access phase, aiming to achieve the highest quality possible. Key mechanics such as movement, climbing, and quest systems are already completed. We are actively working on improving the combat mechanics, and the animations are in the final stages of preparation. Our map, along with the characters, is nearly ready for early access release, and simultaneously, we are implementing the game's storyline. Throughout this process, we are conducting initial internal tests, paying great attention to every detail to ensure the best experience for our players.”

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, the game's price will change after the Early Access stage. If you choose to purchase 'The Skyland Chronicles' during the Early Access phase, you'll pay only 40% of the entire game's value. Once the game reaches its full version, those who supported us during Early Access will only need to pay an additional 10% of the game's final price. By choosing to support us during Early Access, you'll save a total of 50% compared to the final price.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“From the very beginning of 'The Skyland Chronicles' development, we've prioritized close contact with our community. Through social media and our Discord server, we're constantly communicating with you all. This allows us to listen to your opinions, suggestions, and feedback regarding the game. Your insights are invaluable to us and help shape the final form of the product. We also plan to host special Q&A sessions, beta tests, and other events to let you engage even more in the creation of 'The Skyland Chronicles'. We believe that it's crucial to create games with the player in mind, and that's why your voice is so important to us.”
