Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“Shelley Manor is an academic non-for-profit portfolio project, developed to demonstrate the skills of its team, and the hard work done through its development. The game is, at the moment, in an Early Access state due to it being an ongoing project made by students as their final year's project, but it is in a very playable state with good production values already.

The goals of the team include:

• See our project to completion this calendar year.
  
  
• Gather feedback from the community through social media, Steam discussion forums and live events like Valencia Indie Summit 2024 and OWN Valencia 2024 (known before as Dreamhack), where the game was playable in public for the first time.
  
  
• Implement the community feedback into the development of the coming playable puzzles, mechanics, effects and bosses, as well as the existing ones.
  
  
• Add additional pages of Clara's diary to unveil the secrets of her past.
  
  
• Write a conclusion to Alex's story.

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“We expect to complete the development during this calendar year.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“We expect the final game to have all the features of the early access version plus
a more balanced and polished experience as well as extra content.

We expect to complete Shelley Manor by implementing more playable levels featuring new puzzles, enemies and rooms giving conclusion to Alex's story.

In general terms, we expect an additional hour of playable content to be featured
in the final version.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“The game is in an Alpha and early access state at the moment. However, the gameplay mechanics have been implemented to an advanced stage and the character designs and mechanics that are already present in the game. There is room for improvement based on feedback. Now where the 'early' keyword really matters is in quantity of content and player progression as well as polishing of systems such as UI and visual feedback.

In the current version you can:

• Explore several zones of the manor
  
  
• Defeat a total of 4 Monsters.
  
  
• Explore most of the rooms of the manor.
  
  
• Complete Alex's escape.

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“Shelley Manor is a portfolio based project, to demonstrate the quality of our team, and the hard ongoing work that we have been doing for the last 9 months of development, so it will be free for its Official Release too.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?
