Почему ранний доступ?

«Responding’s prototype build has been available to our pre-order supporters since 2022, and has been an amazing middle-ground to allow our passionate community to try out, test, and provide feedback on Responding’s gameplay features. Our prototype has remained off Steam until we we were confident in delivering a worthwhile product to a larger player-base.

We are choosing Steam Early Access, as we believe it is time to introduce our product to a larger player-base, as we continue to refine existing features, and implement new and exciting gameplay experiences.

Our biggest desire is to create a well refined and desired end product that can be enjoyed by many for years to come, and to accomplish this we want to receive as much feedback on the game while we are still in development.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«We expect Responding to approximately remain in Early Access for a minimum of 3 years. We have every intention of bringing Responding to a full and finished state; and our passion and commitment shows, through our continued and consistent development since 2017

To us, this is our passion product, our child… not a quick cash grab. Rome wasn't built in a day»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«Throughout Early Access, you can expect Responding to be expanded and refined on practically all fronts. Whether it be the expansion of the playable map area to our intended scale, improvements to detail and graphical fidelity, new call-outs and in-game events, new departments, specialized units, equipment, customization options, and vehicles, as well as various tweaks, additions, and overhauls to existing systems.

Once our core experience is complete, we intend for Responding to eventually receive full modding support with a complete Source Development Kit (SDK), allowing for our community to have complete control in customizing their Emergency Services Sandbox experience.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«Currently Responding is in a prototype phase, where the main focus is the testing of various systems and mechanics to see their effect and enjoyability, as Responding brings 3 emergency services departments to the table we had made our first priority to create an enjoyable and immersive police experience as this required the most extensive and complex mechanics compared to the other emergency services experiences we want to offer.

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«The price of Responding will increase after the early access period, as we believe the game will offer much more, and having a lower price during early access will make it more accessible.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We have an amazing community on our socials but mainly our discord server at https://discord.gg/responding with relevant feedback and suggestion channels that we encourage our community to utilize! We also have a bug report submissions form to help quality assure our product.

We greatly welcome feedback and advice from current and previously serving emergency services personnel to better deliver on realism, and we even have an unique adviser role on discord for those that have made practical contributions.»
