¿Por qué Acceso anticipado?

“While AtomsPast currently is a complete tabletop wargame able to support thousands of combinations of rules for miniatures, it is NOT competitively balanced. In one sense AtomsPast is balanced because, unlike most wargames, all players have access to all keywords and abilities. However the costs of keywords, stats, and effects have been internally balanced by me but there are too many combinations for me to test. In the coming months I will be focusing on adding additional keywords to balance the different phases of the game, changing point costs and calculations, and updating the rules to be as clear as possible based on player feedback. Before releasing the full version I'm committed to work on updating AtomsPast's competitive balance through player feedback here on Steam and through Discord.”

¿Cuánto tiempo va a estar este software en Acceso anticipado aproximadamente?

“Planning on Early Access for 6-12 months depending on Player feedback. There are so many combinations of stats and keywords that this timeline is just an estimate.”

¿Qué tan diferente será la versión completa de la versión de Acceso anticipado?

“Based on player feedback and continued testing I plan to expand the usable keywords, adjust keyword abilities and balance, and update the costs of stats. The goal being to create a complete competitive game for any miniature.”

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de Acceso anticipado?

“Right now the game has everything it needs to allow players to create thousands, maybe tens of thousands of different combinations of rules for models on the battlefield and spells to cast and then use those custom rules to play a strategic wargame.

If you are a player of any mainstream miniatures game, you and your friends will be able to use those models to play AtomsPast and have enjoyable battles.

If you are not a player of any tabletop game - then Early Access is a great time to get maybe the lowest cost entry into tabletop gaming, as you don't technically NEED models to play, you could use anything to represent them and use AtomsPast to play with your friends.”

¿Variará el precio del software durante el periodo previo y posterior al Acceso anticipado?

“The pricing plan is to have a heavy discount at the start of Early Access with updates in the future slowly removing the discount with increased content and balance updates. I have no plans on increasing the price after launch.”

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

“Community feedback will be critical for rules text clarification, point cost balancing, and additional rule/keyword creation. Through Steam and Discord I want to take community feedback and make balance and rules changes needed to get to 1.0.”
