早期アクセスにした理由

“Until now, we've always published the beta releases for free, and we'll continue to do so on our website, but it is clear that with the scale the project has reached, and interest it has garnered, many are expecting a more main stream experience that Steam can provide.

So in the spirit of giving access to the project to as many people as possible, staying true to our academic ideals, and financing the growth of the project, we decided to take this dual approach!

The community has always been at the helm of this project, and the Steam early access program aligns with this perspective by adding the Steam community to the discussion.

Launching Early Access is also representative of where we view the game's current state.
We have a very ambitious roadmap and a lot that we want to add. You can expect incredibly heavy changes between each release.

This is just the beginning, we're building the most complex Artificial Life Simulation ever!”

このゲームは大体どのくらいの期間早期アクセスですか？

“The Bibites is expected to be in Early Access for the next 3 years. It is dependent on changes to the project's roadmap and growth of the development team.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“Full release would indicate that all planned underlying systems are stable and well balanced.

It is unclear what the full version will ultimately include but this list of additional features are planned:

• Bibite Editor

• Sexual Reproduction

• Multithreading, performance optimization

• A completely new Evolutionary Algorithm powering the simulation

• Environment Diversity and Complexity (biomes)

• Plant Evolution

We expect to continue support and development long after the full version is released.

“The game is fully playable in its current state. While in early access, you can expect some updates to break save files from previous versions. We will try our best to rebalance between versions as much as possible.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“The price on Steam is expected to increase over time to reflect the increase in content that is offered.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“Community feedback and input is tremendously valuable to us. We regularly engage with our community through our Youtube channel, discord community page and other social media platforms.

We hope to incorporate feedback from the Steam audience as well.”
