O que os criadores do jogo têm a dizer:

Porquê Acesso Antecipado?

"Hi there!
My name is Savvas Eleftheriadis aka vlzvl, and I am solo developing this game for years now, which is the primary reason of setting this game into "early access".
The game is not yet fully complete content-wise, far from it actually, and a number of planned features are still missing. However, the game is fully playable at this point, with all major features implemented and packaged with a few hours of gameplay straight from the coming full release content.

I decided to set my game as "Early access" based on following reasons:

The game is fully playable at this point, with all major features implemented and packaged with a few hours of early gameplay
The game's final content will end up immense in size which alone requires months of focused work (ETA is set this year)
I am working solo so I need all the feedback from players, playing or playtesting the game through the subsequent game updates till the release
I would like to find / eliminate all bugs and work on all game's weak areas through cooperation with fan userbase before the final release
Exposing the game as is now for increased visibility and marketing to all the interested audience

Aproximadamente durante quanto tempo vai este produto estar em Acesso Antecipado?

"The game is mostly missing content and quantity / variety of implemented features. However, for that particular genre, that means a few months of focused, inspired work. The ETA is already set to Q3 2024, but it may slightly change / increase if things don't go as planned."

Qual vai ser a diferença entre a versão final e a versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"The main goal for the full release is to increase the final content size. The secondary goal is to increase the variety and quantity of the already implemented features to something that will resemble the following numbers:

100+ maps to explore (with various tiers of difficulty / exterior and interior / multi-leveled / environmental specific / lore based)
100+ quests (major and side quests)
10+ races
10+ professions
50+ skills (a few will be determined on-demand, based on content / quests)
50+ spells (balanced through magic schools / expertise)
100+ monsters (from "Skeleton" and "Goblin" to menacing "Devils" and immortal archdevils, angels and deities)

At the moment, only the necessary features are provided to "early access" content.
Details about the currently implemented features and their quantity can be found on About this game section of the game."

Qual é o estado atual da versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"The early access version is fully playable, with all basic functionality implemented and tested throughout some prior versions / demos and a recent playtesting by a group of testers. It lasts about ~3 hours, depending on how much content the player wants to cover and concludes gracefully. There is no functionality or bug that would prevent the player to reach the early access's ending. Game has no known bugs at the moment.

The game's currently implemented features are listed and covered in more detail on About this game section."

O jogo vai ter preços diferentes durante e depois do Acesso Antecipado?

"Yes, the game will be priced differently during and after early access, but not so much that would cause confusion. Customers should expect an increase around 50% of the early access price."

Como estão a planear incluir a comunidade durante o processo de desenvolvimento?

"Feedback from players was and will continue to be an integral and significant part of the game's development. I intend to keep my frequent communication with the players and discuss current and future features and issues, until the game's development is finished. In addition, I may release testing builds and share them with some of the players, as well as updates with new content to all buyers as the game develops for feedback.
