Proč předběžný přístup?

„Early Access provides us with the unique opportunity to shape Obilia in collaboration with the community. By releasing the game in its current state, we can gather valuable feedback from players, which is crucial for refining gameplay, balancing mechanics, and enriching the overall experience. This approach allows us to evolve the game organically, ensuring that it aligns with the expectations and desires of our audience, making Obilia a truly player-driven open world adventure. Additionally, Early Access will help us to identify and resolve any unforeseen issues early, leading to a more stable and polished final product upon release.“

Přibližně jak dlouho bude tato hra v předběžném přístupu?

„We anticipate Obilia will be in Early Access for approximately 15 months. This duration is crucial for us to implement player feedback, refine gameplay, and ensure that the final version of Obilia meets our high standards for quality and player freedom and satisfaction. The Early Access period is a vital phase of development where community engagement and iterative improvements will shape the game's evolution, leading to a well-polished and robust full release.“

Jak se bude plná verze lišit od předběžného přístupu?

„The full version of Obilia is set to be a significant expansion over the Early Access version. While Early Access currently features 3 islands with a preliminary questline to experience the world, we're planning to feature a full storyline, more islands, each with its own unique quests and an extensive array of side quests. This expansion will provide a richer, more varied gaming experience.

Additionally, we're in the early stages of developing a private island for the players, which will be the epicentre of the Obilian experience. We plan to offer a corner of Obilia that will be a personal space for creativity, personalization and relaxation. Our plans for Obilia also include a multiplayer island with unique mini-games and activities.

Players can expect substantial enhancements in terms of content quality, including refined gameplay mechanics, improved graphics, and other enhancements based on community feedback. Our aim is to incorporate suggestions and desires from our audience on Steam, ensuring that the final product not only meets but exceeds player expectations. The full version of Obilia will be a more immersive, dynamic, and engaging experience, shaped by the voices of our players.“

V jaké fázi vývoje se hra nachází?

„The current state of the Early Access version of Obilia is a solid foundation for the game, providing a glimpse into the world we're creating. It includes 3 fully functional islands, with a preliminary questline that players can explore. These islands serve as an introduction to the game's mechanics, storytelling style, and the overall feel of the world.

In terms of gameplay, most of the key features like fishing, gliding, crafting, and basic combat are implemented and functional, allowing players to experience a range of activities in the game. The graphics are in a developed state but will see further enhancements as we progress towards the full release.

It's important to note that while the Early Access version is a stable and playable version of the game, it is still in development. This means players may encounter incomplete features, placeholder content, and areas that require optimization. We're committed to regularly updating the game throughout the Early Access period, adding new content, refining existing features, and incorporating player feedback to improve the overall experience.“

Změní se cena hry po skončení předběžného přístupu?

„Since Obilia is a free-to-play game, there will be no difference in pricing during and after Early Access. Our goal is to make the game accessible to a wide audience, allowing players to dive into the world of Obilia without any cost barriers. We believe this approach will help us build a vibrant and engaged community, which is crucial for the ongoing development and success of the game.

However, it's worth noting that while the core game will remain free, we may introduce optional in-game purchases or content that players can buy. These could include cosmetic items, special features, subscriptions, or other enhancements that add value to the gaming experience without affecting the game's balance or fairness. Any potential monetization will be carefully designed to respect our players and the integrity of the game.“

Jak plánujete zapojit komunitu do vývoje této hry?

„Our approach to involving the community in Obilia's development includes setting up forums and social media for feedback, ensuring transparent and regular updates on progress. We value player input, so there will be surveys and polls to capture their thoughts. Additionally, the community will have opportunities to participate in beta testing new features and join various online events to foster a collaborative development environment.“
