Wozu Early Access?

„We want to create a tailor-made product for fans of the genre, so it’s essential to involve the gaming community in the production process as early as possible. They are our ultimate judges and second designers of the game. Early Access allows us to validate the gameplay mechanics we've implemented while taking advantage of Early Access’s flexibility to make necessary adjustments based on player feedback. We aim to quickly identify pain points and address them to deliver the highest quality product. If we see that certain elements resonate particularly well with players, we’ll adjust the scope to add more content based on that feedback.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„Based on our initial plans, the game will remain in Early Access for a full year. If a delay in the release becomes necessary, we’ve determined that it will not exceed one additional quarter.“

- 3 acts filled with unique enemies and events,
- Over 100 combos to discover,
- Over 100 quotes,
- A town with 7 functional buildings,
- Adjustable difficulty levels,
- Illustrated story snapshots.“

„Perfectly playable from start to finish.
- 1 fully playable character class,
- 2 acts with 70% of the intended enemies and events,
- About 60 card combos,
- Around 50 quotes,
- A town with 5 unique buildings,

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Yes. We believe that in exchange for the trust and support shown to us through active participation in Inkborn’s development, our players should receive the game at a discount.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„The primary way for the community to participate in development is simply by playing our game. We have prepared a set of analytical tools to gather extensive data on the most common player choices and their outcomes based on these decisions.
Additionally, we’ll monitor the Steam forums, paying attention to player feedback, suggestions, praise, and critique.
Lastly, our Discord community will play a significant role, encouraging players to discuss individual game elements. Our designers will participate in these discussions and use the feedback to refine existing features and guide the development of new ones.“
