Varför Early Access?

“SHADOWBOX: Mausoleum of Natural History is a passion project that is intended for long-term development with continual content updates. We will be releasing beta versions during the early stages of development through Early Access to maximize the amount of user feedback we can incorporate into design and optimization. SHADOWBOX will be free of charge both during and after Early Access.”

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

“We anticipate beta testing of SHADOWBOX will take place over the course of around 5 years.”

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

“The first full version of SHADOWBOX, v1.0, will aim to feature at least one exhibit per major period and epoch of Earth's history, spanning the Ediacaran to the Pleistocene (for a total of 16). Our aim is to also establish fundamental interactivity mechanics and optimize the program as best we can during this beta testing period so updates beyond v1.0 can focus on new exhibits and galleries.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“We are currently on Beta v1.2, featuring the lobby, seven crypt exhibits, and two bonus galleries.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“SHADOWBOX is free to play, now and forever. There will be no changes to this during development or after its release out of Early Access.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“The most important aspect of creating an informative and interactive natural history experience is ensuring accessibility to as many audiences as possible. This is why we're releasing into Early Access: we want to hear from the community and learn from you about your learning styles, ability needs, and so on, beginning with the early stages of development. Please submit your playtest feedback to the SHADOWBOX Steam forums, or to ptpaleo@proton.me”
