Miksi Early Access?

We believe that community involvement is crucial to shaping Drive Beyond Horizons into the best experience possible. By launching in Early Access, we aim to gather valuable feedback from players, refine gameplay mechanics, and expand the game world based on real player experiences. This phase will help us test new features, improve balance, and ensure that the final version of the game meets the expectations of our community.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We anticipate that Drive Beyond Horizons will remain in Early Access for approximately 1 year, depending on player feedback and the development process. We want to ensure that every major feature we plan to add is polished before moving to a full release.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

We plan to introduce major improvements and new features to enhance the overall experience of Drive Beyond Horizons. One of our goals is to support modding with Steam Workshop, allowing players to create and share their own content, such as vehicles, custom maps, and gameplay modifications.

Additionally, we aim to rewrite significant parts of the game’s codebase to improve CPU optimization, which could enhance performance across a wider range of hardware. We are also exploring the integration of Havok physics to offer a more realistic and responsive driving experience. As part of this process, we intend to rework vehicle physics and handling, making them even more immersive and true-to-life.

In terms of content, we plan to expand the game world with new biomes, additional vehicles, an extended soundtrack, and more diverse scenarios. Our goal is to continue evolving Drive Beyond Horizons based on player feedback and community engagement, ensuring a richer and more dynamic experience over time.

Players can explore open environments, compete in challenges, and experience the core driving physics. However, some features are still in development, such as additional content, optimizations, and quality-of-life improvements. While the game is already enjoyable, we recognize that there is room for refinement and expansion.
