Ce diferențe vor fi între versiunea completă, finală și cea aflată în Acces Timpuriu?

„In order to consider the game finished, I want to have seven major milestones (which will have minor releases between them)

Beta 0.1: "Towers and Temples" - adding in mad scientist tower quests and cultist temple quests. Mad scientist towers will mainly be based on logic and puzzles, whereas cultist temples will be based on finding clues and unique items.

Beta 0.2: "Art Update 1" - adding in new art tiling and effects, and maybe even adding back in the original font. Music and sounds will be added.

Beta 0.3: "Virtues and Vices" - adding in a lot of the choices and tradeoffs players can make with respect to short-term benefits of sinful behavior and the long-term benefits of virtuous behavior. Penance quests will also be added which will either piggyback existing town-linked quests or revitalize already-performed quests.

Beta 0.4: "Rogues of Europa" - adding in more complex and varied dialogue for all characters. I will also add in the companion system.

Beta 0.5: "Art Update 2" - adding in the good-looking pixel art (if applicable) and (perhaps) an appearance modding system.

Beta 0.6: "Lore of Europa" - adding in the lore pages, which will serve to flesh out the world. More items will also be added, particularly "monotasker" items with one unknown and random use (such as "sprig of sage leaves") which can be revealed by reading lore pages.

Beta 0.7: "Conclusions" - adding any additional things to the game that are necessary for quality of life, probably a bunch of little aesthetic things, and rounding out the information gained from the playtesting.”

Va avea jocul aflat în Acces Timpuriu un preț diferit față de versiunea finală?
