Чому дочасний доступ?

«We love getting feedback from our fans. Over the years we have made tons of changes to all of our games based on gamer feedback and it has made them much better games. We even try to credit our gamers for their contributions in our patch notes. Note: this will be our 6th game to do Early Access (the first 2 were before Steam itself had Early Access).»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«We always strive to release our games when we feel they are done, not on a set timeline. In our past games, Early Access has lasted anywhere between 2 and 16 months. Given the size and scope of this game, our best estimate is around 12 months.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«Making games is a very iterative process. What we are planning on adding might be added, cut, or completely changed based on what works or doesn't based on your feedback and our own playtesting.

Having said that we are planning on extending the crafting, exploration, dynamic world, and other systems quite a bit through out Early Access. Some crafting possibilities: more alchemy ingredients, more furniture & decorations, food, farming, and fishing. Some exploration possibilities: more special small areas (like mushroom groves, campsites, graveyards, etc) and more bigger new areas like dungeons. Some dynamic world systems possibilities: more interactions (blocks, liquids, gases, objects, elements, etc), more ways for quests to spread, and more cataclysms. There will also be tons of minor new gameplay features and tweaks.

Once Early Access starts, there will be a large list of possible gameplay changes and additions that will be publicly maintained on the Steam forums.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«Din's Champion is currently in alpha. This basically means that all of the main features are already implemented (including everything mentioned in the "About This Game" section), but there is still more artwork and smaller features to be implemented. Also, lots of balance and polish type of work needs to be done.»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«We plan to gradually raise the price as we get closer and closer to the full release.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«We greatly value community feedback. We don't always comment on feedback, but we try to read every single comment that we can on the Steam forums, our own forums, social media, and any other place that we notice them.

We are going to do our best to keep everyone in the loop of how development is going and how feedback is being handled. Our intention is for this to happen in 3 ways. As usual when a patch is released, we plan on posting a list of changes for the patch and mentioning the contributors by name for the relevant changes. Second we will try to keep our full potential to-do list posted on Steam forums. We also plan on keeping a running public done list so you can see what changes are coming in the next patch.»
