Por que acesso antecipado?

"I made a promise to myself to release this game on June 24th, 2024, but it isn't polished enough for me to feel comfortable calling it a final release. I know that I plan to continue working on the game after June 24th regardless of its state (Early Access or standard release), but I feel it is more obvious to players that this is a work in progress if I release in Early Access."

Por quanto tempo aproximadamente este jogo estará em acesso antecipado?

"Two months. I intend to release v1.0 on Monday, August 26th, 2024."

Como a versão completa será diferente da versão de acesso antecipado?

"I plan for the final version of this game to be more refined, but I do not plan on adding any new major systems. I intend to focus on: visuals, sound effects, user experience, card count, and replayability. I do not intend to add new gameplay mechanics or auxiliary systems."

Qual é o estado atual da versão de acesso antecipado?

"The Early Access version is playable with no known bugs. It has not been tested on Linux or Mac, and there may be errors that crop up due to compatibility issues I didn't anticipate.

It has a ten cards and a replayable core gameplay loop of one match against a rudimentary computer opponent.

The art of the cards and the core mechanics are in a final state.

The visuals, user experience, sound effects, card count, and game balance are all in an unfinished state."

O preço do jogo será alterado após o fim do acesso antecipado?

"No, I do not intend to change the price during or after Early Access. The only situation where I may change the price is if I get a lot of feedback that the game is overpriced. Even then, I would only feel comfortable reducing the price by ~15% (that may vary depending on your currency)."

Como vocês planejam envolver a comunidade durante o processo de desenvolvimento?

"The game has a built in "feedback" button to allow any player, at any moment, to provide feedback privately or publicly. With the private feedback, I can read it but I cannot respond. For the public feedback, there is a link to the Steam Community discussion forum where I have been actively reading and responding to feedback.

Not all feedback will translate to changes within the game. I still have my own vision, and limitations, for what I want this game to be. But I try to keep an open mind. I have already changed my mindset on how I introduce mechanics based on feedback from the demo: I wanted things to be opaque to encourage explorative play, but that choice confused many players who wanted more tutorialization and guides. I reworked the game to be more beginner friendly because of that feedback."
