Kenapa Akses Awal?

“With Chernobyl: Simulator, we want to ensure the game not only stays true to our vision, but also reflects what the community actually wants to experience. At its core, this is a simulation-heavy game — and deep, interconnected systems take time to get right.
Early Access gives us the opportunity to build alongside our players. The simulation systems are designed to be modular and expandable, meaning we can layer in new mechanics, refine existing ones, and connect them in ways that make the experience more rewarding the deeper you go. Player feedback is invaluable for knowing which systems feel satisfying, which need more depth, and where the game should grow next.
We'd rather develop this in the open with a community of people who are as passionate about this subject as we are, than ship something finished in isolation.”

Berapa lama permainan ini dijangka akan berada dalam Akses Awal?

“We're planning for roughly one year in Early Access. During that time, we'll be shipping smaller, frequent updates on a regular basis, alongside larger systems-wide updates every 3–4 months. Keeping a consistent update cadence isn't just a goal — it's central to how we're building the game, ensuring there's always something new for players to dig into as development progresses.”

Apakah perbezaan yang dirancang antara versi penuh dan versi Akses Awal?

“The current version of Chernobyl: Simulator is fully playable and stands on its own, but it represents the foundation rather than the ceiling. Currently, one of the three operating pults is complete — with the remaining two, VIUB and VIUT, planned for the full release alongside other major additions such as the SKALA computer system, a non-operational control room, core refueling mechanics, and multiplayer interactions.
Beyond these planned additions, there are still areas we want to explore — and the community will play a meaningful role in shaping what those become. Player feedback will help us decide where to go deeper, what to add, and how to make the full release the most complete and authentic experience possible.”

Bagaimanakah keadaan semasa versi Akses Awal?

“The core of the simulation is up and running. The VIUR operator pult is fully implemented, featuring a neutronics simulation of the reactor alongside automatic regulation systems and all necessary protections — implemented according to the pre-disaster Chernobyl operational manual. This includes thermal feedback (Doppler effect), xenon poisoning, and fuel burnup, giving the reactor simulation real physical depth. Together, these systems give players an authentic, technically grounded experience of managing the reactor from day one.
The remaining two operating pults, VIUB and VIUT, along with other planned systems, will be added throughout the Early Access period.”

Adakah harga permainan ini berbeza semasa dan selepas Akses Awal?

“Yes, Chernobyl: Simulator is priced lower during Early Access. As major systems and features are added over time, the price will increase to reflect the growing scope of the game. If you're interested, getting in early is the best way to support development and lock in the lower price.”

Bagaimana anda merancang untuk melibatkan Komuniti dalam proses pembangunan anda?

“Community feedback is at the heart of how we develop Chernobyl: Simulator — and it already has been. Several features and adjustments in the current version came directly from player suggestions, and that's something we intend to carry throughout the entire Early Access period.
The best place to be part of that conversation is our Discord, where we share updates, discuss upcoming features, and take on board what players want to see. It's a small but dedicated community, and we'd love for you to be part of it.
Ultimately, the goal is simple: make the best and most authentic simulator we can, and player feedback is essential to getting there.”
