Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« The core game of The Dark Horde is almost complete, but there are many important features still in development. Also, given the deckbuilding nature of the game, the many interactions between cards and the various upgrades players can acquire, I think there are probably many conflicts and balancing issues here and there. An early access release will give me the opportunity to fine tune the game while also working on other important features. I have a list of content that will be implemented to give players more options, more features, more everything. »

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

« Probably 6 to 12 months after Early Access Release, depending on how many requests for new features the fans will suggest! »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« There will be more cards, improved interfaces and graphics. I also assume the game will be more balanced, if necessary, and all the extra features developed by popular demand will be implemented. Rumors are spreading that a fourth Domain of cards (after Death, Destruction and Corruption) might surface sooner or later... »

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The game has 80% of all mechanics implemented and it is fully enjoyable. It requires various improvement in the graphics and interface department: these will be developed based on feedbacks from the player base.
This is the content already implemented:
- Deck Mode: 15 premade deck, each with 5 levels of difficulty
- Draft Mode: the endless mode for The Dark Horde. Play until overwhelmend by the Horde of angry Villagers!
- Leveling System: unlock features while leveling up!
- Reward System: completing Deck Mode runs will award you with the upgraded version of a card. That upgrade is permanent!
- 150+ cards divided in three Domains (Death, Destruction and Corruption), rewards for player completing Deck Mode runs and SNAGs: nasty cards that will be added to the deck to disrupt the player's game.
- 100+ Minions at your service
- a horde of Peasants, Big Wigs and Heroes!
- infinite supply of Goblin Looters. After all, they all end up dying... »

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

« The game will become slightly more expensive as I pile up features and new elements. The final version of The Dark Horde will be more expensive. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« The community is pivotal for the final stages of development of The Dark Horde! First, the intention is to let the community design the remaining cards of the game! This will give the players a chance to be directly involved in creating the content of The Dark Horde! The player that won the contest for each card will have his/her name featured on the card, unless they prefer not to. Secondly I will implement the missing features one by one based on which one the community deems fundamental or thinks would be a fine addition to the game. Finally, any player will have the chance to report issues and bugs contributing in shaping the final product. Once the game will have all the Primary features implemented, I will add the fourth Domain: Frost. The players will then have the chance to witness the creation of Frost cards and Frost premade decks as they are developed and obviously intereact in near-real time with suggestions and opinions! Players can provide feedback directly on Steam Community Pages or via Discord server: you're suggestions will be carefully evaluated! In case of mayor improvements or contribution, I will (if you agree) add your name in the QA section of credits! »
