Защо „Ранен достъп“?

„We are releasing the Early Access version to give you—our players—a chance to experience three unique, playable environments and their corresponding levels. You can try your hand at different difficulties and choose to play alone, or with friends in local or online co-op. We're super keen to show off the fun and excitement of our game.

Being part of Early Access is not just about enjoying the game, but also about engaging with our community. We love to hear your feedback, and this is your opportunity to help shape the game. Your input will influence new maps, thrilling co-op modes, and even some of the recipes you enjoy while playing.

KOPI is our studio's first game, and we've learned a lot in the process of making it, but there's always more to learn. Early Access allows us to continue improving the game with your help. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us refine and expand KOPI, making it the best experience it can be.“

Ще има ли разлика в цената на играта по време на „Ранен достъп“ и след това?

„Yes, the game's price will increase gradually after the first update, reaching the full price by the time of the full release. While we are pleased with the quality and stability of the Early Access build, we recognise that it lacks the final polish and shine planned for the full release. Early Access allows us to offer the game at a lower price in appreciation of the support and feedback from our early players. As the game progresses and more features, content, and refinements are added, the price will reflect the increased value and quality.“
