Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Prior to launching on Early Access, we ran 3 highly successful beta testing phases alongside our growing community that proved invaluable in helping us ensure DUCKSIDE was able to reach an Early Access launch state. With Early Access, we have the opportunity to bring even more players into the DUCKSIDE Archipelago and expand the game even further with community feedback and suggestions helping to shape our development plan and direction.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We don’t have an exact amount of time in mind at this stage, as plans and timelines will obviously shift throughout the early access phase while we work with our players to map out the best direction for the game, but we expect DUCKSIDE to be in Early Access for around 12 months.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'DUCKSIDE is expected to evolve and grow significantly over the course of Early Access, with new weapons, mod tools, modded servers, missions, cosmetic options, visual improvements, map evolutions/expansions, new servers and more already either under discussion or in development.

Alongside that, we will aim to release numerous updates developed solely around community feedback and suggestions in between major content updates to ensure a consistent, regular update schedule and a focus on community oriented development.

A comprehensive living roadmap is available and will be updated regularly over the course of Early Access.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The game is in a fully playable state, featuring near final versions of all core mechanics and gameplay systems. DUCKSIDE currently has a fully open world, a comprehensive base building/crafting system, human AI, numerous missions, in-game events, hundreds of items, tools, weapons and crafting materials and a full day/night system.

More will be added over the course of Early Access and all of the above will continue to be iterated upon and improved following player feedback.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'The game's price may increase upon full release following the implementation of all of our planned roadmap content and other additions to the game. However anyone who purchases DUCKSIDE during Early Access will not be affected by any price changes.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'We will be working closely with our players throughout the early access campaign, collecting their feedback through our Discord, Steam Forums, Surveys and social media to ensure a collaborative effort during this stage of the games development.

Player feedback has already had an incredible impact on DUCKSIDEs development to date, and we look forward to continuing to improve the game alongside our community!'
