Почему ранний доступ?

«Latest: The full story is playable and there is already heaps of content. We are currently adding mod support for community translations.

We love working directly with the community, and Early Access is the best way to improve and expand the game. Oceaneers will continue to benefit from player feedback to balance content, refine production lines, add quality of life, and make sure the game runs without issues. Early Access is also a chance for us to test experimental features, try interesting mechanics, and collaborate with players on what they want to see in the game.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«We've entered Early Access highly polished and with a lot of content already. We expect it to be in Early Access for roughly one year, with some flexibility depending on how much we add based on your feedback.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«There is already a huge amount of content in the game including hundreds of resources and buildings, but we plan to expand on the existing content with more wildlife, hats, clothing, equipment and island modules.

We also plan to add new mechanics (including taming, trapping and entertainment), add more variety of random bunker encounters (with the charm and lore from the old-world corporation), improve balance, improve performance optimizations, improve visuals and animations, add more game & accessibility options, more achievements, and add language support.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«There is already heaps to do! Many planned features are implemented, and you can play the full game story from start to finish.

There's a lot of tech to research, several side-story islands to explore, robust production lines, plenty of QoL features, and many automation features. The game also already has 3 ocean biomes, 4 island biomes, dynamic weather systems, ocean and island wildlife, raft-building and more.

The initial EA launch is in English. As development progresses, we plan to add support for community translations. If you're interested in contributing, please let us know on the Steam Forums or Discord!»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«We plan to increase the price later during Early Access as major content milestones are reached and upon the final 1.0 release. Any price changes will be communicated in advance.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«Discord and the Steam forums will be our primary locations for listening to feedback. We are very active developers and already have a friendly discord community of players that have helped during playtests. Having already run several playtests, we have experience with collecting and managing feedback, and many of the improvements we have already made were based on player feedback.»
