Почему ранний доступ?

«Roguelikes in general tend to be developed over vast spans of time with lots of feedback and input from players. The Rogue Fable series is no exception and Rogue Fable IV is really just the latest iteration of a project that has been in continuous development for nearly a decade.

Early Access gives me the chance to do the bulk of development work out in the open with regular feedback and suggestions from players. I believe its only possible to grow, balance and tune such a complicated and unpredictable beast with the support of the people actually playing it.»

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

«The plan is to focus primarily on expanding the scope of the game. I believe that the basic foundation is pretty solid and so I'd like to spend most of Early Access adding as many new classes, races, talents, enemies, bosses, zones and special levels as possible. There will likely still be some minor tweaks and adjustments to the core gameplay but my plan is really to focus on scaling up the amount of content in the game.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?
