Varför Early Access?

“Mini Dungeon needs a lot of polish before it can be considered ready for full release. It needs a proper consistent art style, a full set of sound effects, and a full library of levels. During the early access period, we will continue to release regular updates, moving the game toward a full release. Releasing in Early Access will allow us to monitor feedback from players, delivering the most valuable features first. We want the final product to be the best game we can make. Our goal is to complete the game within 2-3 years, but we believe strongly that making a good game is the most important thing, however long that takes.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“It is hard to say when the game will be ready for full release, but most likely it will at least 2 or 3 years away.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The game should look very different by the time it is fully released. The current plan is to feature a hand-drawn art style for all characters and enemies, as well as backgrounds and scenery.
A full revamp of sound effects and a sound track is also on our wish-list.
We also have plans for more levels and a more meaningful story line and progression system.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The current state is extremely barebones. Almost all visual elements are still placeholders. There is no soundtrack and only some limited sound effects. There are only a handful of levels with no narrative to tie them together. There are also only about half of the playable classes planned for full release.
The current state of the game allows the player to experience the gameplay and give feedback to the developer, but does not have any of the polish expected of a full release.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“The plan is to increase the price as the game gains new features. We will never charge existing owners for new features, as we want to reward those who are trying out the game in its early access state. By the time the game is fully released, it may be priced much higher than its current price.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We will provide ways for players to leave feedback including, but not limited to, an official Discord server. We are very interested in hearing all feedback from the community of players. The game can be improved greatly by input from the community. We started this game because it's a fun type of game that we wanted to play with our friends, so if there are any ideas to make it more fun, we would love to hear them and, if feasible, implement them.”
