Perché l'accesso anticipato?

“Early Access is a crucial step in the development of Endeavor, an ambitious 3D deep space adventure. As a solo developer crafting this expansive universe, I believe that community input is invaluable to creating an exceptional gaming experience. Early Access allows me to:

• Gather player feedback on core gameplay mechanics, allowing for refinement and polishing.

• Identify and address performance issues across various hardware configurations.

• Expand and enrich the game world based on player interactions and discoveries.

• Build a passionate community around Endeavor, fostering discussions and ideas that will shape the game's future.

• Maintain transparency in the development process, sharing the journey with players as the game evolves.

By choosing Early Access, I'm committing to an open dialogue with the Endeavor community, ensuring that the final product exceeds expectations and delivers an unforgettable deep space adventure.”

Per quanto tempo questo gioco rimarrà in accesso anticipato?

“While game development timelines can be unpredictable, especially for an ambitious project like Endeavor, I am committed to a focused and efficient development process. Based on the current roadmap and planned features, I estimate that Endeavor will remain in Early Access for approximately 12-18 months.
This timeframe allows for:

• Implementation of all planned core features

• Multiple iterations based on player feedback

• Thorough testing and optimization

• Potential expansion of scope if strongly desired by the community

I will provide regular updates on development progress, and this estimate may be adjusted as we move forward. The goal is to deliver a polished, content-rich experience that lives up to the vision of Endeavor.”

Quali saranno le differenze fra la versione completa e quella in accesso anticipato?

“The full version of Endeavor will be a significant expansion upon the Early Access release. Players can expect the following additions and improvements:

• Stable Single Player mode with an expansive universe and enhanced narrative experiences

• Multi Player mode

• Full Key-binding & Graphics configuration. Polished User interface and localization.

The Early Access period will be crucial in shaping these features, and community feedback may lead to exciting new additions not listed here.”

Qual è lo stato attuale della versione in accesso anticipato?

“The current Early Access version of Endeavor provides a solid foundation for the deep space adventure we're building. Players can expect:

• Core Gameplay Loop: Exploration, resource gathering, and combat mechanics are implemented and functional.

• Ship Systems: Basic ship resource management. Health, Energy, Cargo and Stations.

• User Interface: Functional but subject to refinement based on player feedback.

• Graphics and Audio: Initial art and audio assets are in place, showcasing the game's unique style.

• Performance: The game is playable, but performance optimizations are ongoing.

While many features are still in development, this Early Access version provides a glimpse into the vast potential of Endeavor. Players joining at this stage will have a unique opportunity to shape the game's future and witness its evolution firsthand”

Il prezzo del gioco varierà durante e dopo l'accesso anticipato?

“Endeavor's pricing strategy reflects our commitment to early supporters while ensuring fairness to all players:

• Early Access Price: The game will be available at a reduced price during the Early Access period. This lower price point acknowledges that the game is still in development and rewards early adopters for their support and feedback.

• Gradual Price Increases: As we hit major development milestones and add significant content, we may implement small, incremental price increases. These will always be announced well in advance, giving our community ample notice.

• Full Release Price: Upon full release, Endeavor will be priced to reflect its completed state and the wealth of content available. This price will be higher than the initial Early Access price but still competitive within the indie game market.

• Early Access Supporter Benefits: All players who purchase during Early Access will receive the full game upon release at no additional cost, regardless of price increases. We're also exploring exclusive in-game bonuses or cosmetics as a thank you to our early supporters.

Our goal is to maintain a balance between rewarding early adopters, fairly compensating our development efforts, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of Endeavor and future projects.”

Come pensi di coinvolgere la Comunità durante il processo di sviluppo?

“Community involvement is at the heart of Endeavor's development philosophy. As a solo developer, I believe that direct engagement with players will be crucial in shaping this game into an unforgettable experience. Here's how we plan to involve our community:

• Regular Development Updates: Weekly or bi-weekly blog posts detailing progress, upcoming features, and behind-the-scenes insights into the development process.

• Community Feedback Hub: A dedicated forum section where players can submit bug reports, suggest features, and discuss game mechanics. This will be actively monitored and used to guide development priorities.

• Public Roadmap: A live, updated roadmap of planned features and improvements, allowing the community to see how their feedback is being incorporated.
  Roadmap:

• Beta Testing Programs: Opportunities for select community members to test new features before general release, providing crucial feedback and bug reports.

• Developer Livestreams: Monthly livestreams showcasing work-in-progress features, answering community questions, and discussing the game's evolution.

• Discord Server: An active Discord community where players can interact directly with the developer and fellow Endeavor enthusiasts.

• Localization Efforts: Involving multilingual community members in the translation and cultural adaptation process to make Endeavor accessible to a global audience.

By fostering an open, collaborative environment, we aim to not just develop a game, but to build a passionate community around Endeavor. Your voice will be heard, your feedback valued, and your impact on the final product tangible.

We're thrilled to have you on board as we embark on this exciting journey through the development of Endeavor. Your participation will be key in shaping the future of our cosmic adventure!”
