Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'In order to create the best game possible, involving the Players in the decision-making process is vital. Caldera is not Early Access because there are numerous bugs, Caldera is early access so that the final product is a tailored experience that the Steam community can be proud of.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Caldera is planned to be in Steam's Early Access program for at least one year.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The Full Version of Caldera is planned to include the following additional features based on the existing 2024 Roadmap:

Early Access Roadmap:
Q1 2024: Carpentry & Chemistry Update.
Q2 2024: Online Multiplayer Update & PVP Update.
Q3 2024: Advanced Base Building Update.
Q4 2024: New Maps.
Q1 2025: Leaving Early Access.

Although Q1 2025 is the planned end of Early Access for Caldera, there are existing post-production plans for long-term development inspired by internal roadmaps. In the end, the valuable insight and suggestions of the Steam community will heavily influence the direction of Caldera throughout the development process. Both before and after Early Access, the goal is to create a genuine, one-stop-shop for all Gold enthusiasts to enjoy, as well as the intention to expand upon the versatility of Online and Co-op scenarios for players of all ages. The Full Version of Caldera needs to be as educational as it is entertaining, if not outright motivating and inspiring.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Caldera 1.0 is Stable with many gameplay opportunities to enjoy, from Gold Panning to advanced prospecting. As of Q1 2024, Prospecting includes but is not limited to; Gold Panning, Digging Paydirt, Extracting Minerals from Paydirt, investigating 10+ real-world themed Mineral Depositions, and more. Survival functionality in Caldera is unforgiving, however the emphasis here is on Gemstones and Minerals, not combat; at least for now. The early America's were built on Cooperation and Knowledge, a concept which is by no means easy to convey.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'Caldera's price will increase as it exits Early Access, but only when the Features and Stability of the product reflect this change.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'The Steam Community will dictate the direction of Caldera through participation in the Community Hub, where their wants, needs, and opinions will be heard and swiftly acted upon.'
