早期アクセスにした理由

“Dungeon and Diners is an innovative fusion of culinary creativity and adventurous spirit. Our vision is to bring to life a game where players can experience the thrill of dungeon crawling and the satisfaction of running a successful diner with friends. We chose Early Access because we want our community to be part of this journey from the start, sharing invaluable feedback to refine gameplay, enhance features, and create a truly collaborative game development experience.

Early Access allows us to introduce players to the core mechanics of the game while still being in the developmental stages. By engaging with players early on, we can incorporate their insights into the game's growth, ensuring that Dungeon and Diners evolves in a direction that resonates with our audience. We believe that the player's voice is crucial in crafting a game that is not only fun to play but also has the depth and replayability that players desire.

At present, players can explore the intricate symbiosis between the Diner and Dungeon modules, team up in the Adventuring Guild, and start shaping their characters through the progression mechanics. With the help of our community, we aim to fine-tune the balance between these elements, enrich the audio experience, expand the inventory system, and polish the playable characters to perfection.

Join us in Early Access to be a part of a game that promises culinary conquests and heroic exploits, all wrapped up in the warm camaraderie of a game made better by players, for players.”

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？

“We're aiming for Dungeon and Diners to be in Early Access for approximately 12 months. However, our commitment to delivering a fully-realized game experience means that this timeline could be shorter if we're able to secure the necessary resources ahead of schedule. Our goal during the Early Access period is not just to expand on the content and polish existing features, but also to build a strong community-driven foundation for the game. We will be closely monitoring player feedback and the pace at which we can implement new ideas and improvements.

During this period, players will have the opportunity to influence the development process significantly. Our monthly update schedule is designed to keep the community informed and engaged with our progress. Ultimately, the duration of Early Access will be determined by the game reaching the level of quality and completeness that both we and the gaming community are satisfied with. We appreciate our community's patience and support as we work towards making Dungeon and Diners the best game it can be.”

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？

“The full version of Dungeon and Diners is envisioned to be a more expansive and richly layered experience than what players will initially encounter in Early Access. While the Early Access version provides the foundational gameplay, our roadmap for the full version includes the addition of several new playable characters, each bringing a unique flair and new strategies to the game. Players can look forward to a compelling narrative that unfolds through interactions with a cast of unique NPCs, each with their own stories and quests.

We also plan to introduce a simple pet system, allowing players to find and nurture companions that offer various gameplay benefits and contribute to the storytelling. The full version will challenge players with more perilous dungeons and formidable monsters, testing their culinary and combat skills to the limit.

A significant aspect of the full release will be the meta-progression system. This will provide both players and their items with long-term development goals, adding depth to the gameplay as players advance. Items will have their own progression, allowing for customization and power-ups that persist across sessions.

While we aim to achieve all these features, we are committed to a development process that is flexible and responsive to the feedback we receive during Early Access. We're not setting these plans in stone but are sharing our vision and direction, which we will adapt as needed to ensure the best possible gaming experience for our community.”

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？

“Yes, the plan for Dungeon and Diners is to have a slight price increase upon the full release of the game. This price adjustment reflects the additional content, features, and polish that the full version will offer. Early Access players have the opportunity to purchase the game at a lower price, recognizing their contribution and feedback which are invaluable to the game’s development process. We want to reward early supporters with this preferential pricing, while also being transparent about our intentions for the game's pricing structure in the future.”

This includes regular updates to share progress, gathering feedback through forums and surveys, and adapting the game based on players' experiences and suggestions. Community involvement is key to refining gameplay, balancing mechanics, and ensuring that Dungeon and Diners is a game that our players will love.”
