Varför Early Access?

“We're inviting the community to help shape Shouldermen. Your feedback is vital to refine its gameplay, ensuring an experience that truly connects with our players. Join us in crafting this unique game!”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Shouldermen is a passion project from a sole developer working in his spare time. Given how limited this spare time is lately, I anticipate the game will be in Early Access for approximately two years. This extended period will allow time to integrate community feedback and evolve the gameplay mechanics.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The full version is planned to include a better voice recognition engine. As well we would like to eventually generate voices on the local PC instead of using a remote service. We also plan to add a more developed back story so that players can try to solve the mystery of who captured the Shouldermen. Our priorities during development will be guided by community feedback.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The early access version is currently missing the back story that explains who captured the Shouldermen. All the features mentioned in ABOUT THIS GAME are present.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“During Early Access, the game is offered at a lower price, acknowledging players' contributions through feedback and development involvement. However, as server hosting and ongoing development costs are significant, the price will increase after the full release. This adjustment reflects the need to recoup our investment in providing a stable and engaging gaming environment. Early Access players benefit from a reduced cost while actively participating in shaping the game's future.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“In the development of Shouldermen, community involvement is key. We plan to actively engage with our players through forums, social media, and reviewing in-game dialog. By closely monitoring player responses and discussions, we can adapt and evolve the game in a way that aligns with the community's expectations and experiences.”
