Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« We at WOMBEX Games highly value our Player's feedback. Our philosophy relies on providing the best games possible, in their best shape possible, based on the feedback of the majority of Players. We belive that in the current state of the game we couldn't achieve this goal if we don't release Bass Defense as an Early Access game. There are some balancing issues hanging in the air which we couldn't fine-tune without the feedback of a larger playerbase. We also need some time to balance and polish Overcharge and Fingerton game modes till the v1.0 release of Bass Defense; as we had put more emphasis on Soundwave mode before Early Access. »

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

« We plan to release Bass Defense v1.0 within 6 months (Q1 2025), ideally within 3 months (Q4 2024) after the Early Access release date (19 Aug 2024). »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« We release Bass Defense as Early Access with one game mode (Soundwave), 20 levels and 5 power-ups. In the v1.0 full version, we'd like to add Bass Defense two additional game modes (Overcharge and Fingerton), some new levels and 4 additional power-ups. Until the release of the full version, we'd like to collect as much feedback as possible, to be able to iron mostly our power-up mechanics and balance out and to add details to some of the levels. Please note that we might also reset savegames if any update requires that. »

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The core game mechanisms of Bass Defense, including the rhythm controllers, score and rank systems for all 20 levels of Soundwave mode are 95% done. We'd like to improve and balance these core game mechanisms first. Then, we want to turn our focus on balancing Overcharge and Fingerton modes, fill every level with small details, along with the general improvements need to be done. »

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

« After Early Access, yes. We'd like to reward our early supporters by offering them Bass Defense for a lower price. Their feedback during Early Access is invaluable, so we'd like to appreciate them and their support somehow. This way, we can provide them better value for their hard-earned money. Also, since the full game will feature additional game modes, levels and added power-ups, price will slightly increase after Early Access for Players who don't purchase the early version but only the final game. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« Our main communication platforms are the official Bass Defense Steam Community Hub, where we will monitor our Player's feedbacks daily and provide progress announcements on a weekly basis; and our Discord server, where we also discuss the state of Bass Defense with our Community every day. Every bit of help, support or feedback Players of our Community do is highly welcomed and appreciated in advance. This will help us at WOMBEX Games to bring our Players the best rhythm game experience possible and also to help pinning Bass Defense onto the chart of the best rhythm games on Steam. »
