早期アクセスにした理由

“Nightshift Galaxy is a arcade-mecha-battler, which is a good fit for an iterative development process where I can get feedback from players about the direction to take loadouts, arenas, and enemy types. Additionally, as a solo-developer, the opportunity to get real feedback while also building a community creates a virtuous cycle.”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“I'm thinking a solid year with regular updates.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“For early access I want to create more of a sandbox that players can play-around in and experiment. For the full version, I'd like to add more curated gameplay and narrative framing, as well as polish the art and music.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“Core combat is implemented with three playable characters:

• A transforming robot/jet that acts as a balanced choice.
  
• A wall-crawling spider tank with heavy weapons.
  
• An acrobatic, high-speed glass-cannon fighter.

There are also three intial maps, featuring unique environmental features:

• Changing Gravity / Zero Gravity
  
• Rail-Shooter Sections
  
• Level-Scale Interactive Mecha & Spaceships

Lastly, there's a basic set of customizable weapons/equipment, and wave-spawned enemy types.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“Comparing the limited scope of the early-access sandbox to a content-rich full release, I would expect to raise the price for the full-version.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“I stream development openly on twitch and solicit discussion on a dedicated discord.”
