Varför Early Access?

“We’re launching The Forever Winter in Early Access to actively involve our community in the game's development. This approach allows us to gather valuable feedback, continuously improve gameplay, and build a dedicated player base. The theme of FW is collaboration to overcome unrelenting circumstances, and we believe strong collaboration with the community will be key to making this title iconic.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“While the timing will ultimately depend on the user response during Early Access, our goal is to take the game out of Early Access after a year of iterating with the community. We will provide the player community as well as those in our social and Steam communities with regular updates throughout the Early Access process to give folks a better understanding of when the hardware requirement, volume of content or localization will be in-line with the experience they strive for.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The full version will feature more content which we plan to update on a regular cadence during early access. We've also been blown away by the reception to our content on YouTube and the amount of discussion around the world of The Forever Winter, so want to feature more in-world lore. On the enemy side, we also want to feature more advanced bosses for players to engage (or run from) around our levels.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“We have 4 finished maps, a handful playable characters, and dozens of weapons to choose from. We are looking to continue to telegraph content updates and even involve the community in upvoting updates they are most looking forward to. Please take note of the recommended hardware specs in order to ensure you get the intended experience.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“While we will strive to keep the pricing reasonable and as consistent as possible, we also want to ensure that, as a small independent studio, we will have enough dry powder and flexibility to continue to invest in the game and, thus, could see a higher price after Early Access.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?
