Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Elementyle is a game focused on preparing a strong foundation to continue building upon after release. Opening the game for Early Access allows feedback to meaningfully direct the game as it grows, enables the community to get involved in the process as early as possible, and sets the expectation of growth and change for the early development process.

The goal for Early Access is to gather player feedback, iterate, and finalize the remaining gameplay content before moving to cosmetics and visual fidelity.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Current development goals are as follows:

• Open-Alpha Completed - Begin Open Beta: 12/31/2024
  
• Open-Beta Completed - Full Release: 12/31/2025

These goals are subject to change but the goal will be to maintain an open testing environment all the way through to full release. Progress and stats may be reset periodically during Early Access and additionally once beta is completed and the game is moved to full production.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Each phase of development will focus on different aspects of the game.
Alpha: Primarily focusing on functionality and game features.
Beta: Primarily focusing on polish, aesthetics, and content.
Release: Primarily focusing on new content and bug fixes.

During Early Access until progression systems are integrated, all pieces and unlockable content will be available to players for testing purposes.

For full release, all four sets will have a total of 9 pieces each (totaling 36 pieces). During Alpha testing, all pieces will be available for testing purposes. Once progression systems are integrated, some pieces will become locked behind in-game progression.

Please note: while some pieces and cosmetics may be locked behind progression systems, Elementyle does not support pay-to-play or pay-to win. All cosmetics and pieces can be unlocked / earned by playing with the exception of time-based exclusives.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'Players will have a variety of feedback methods from comments / reviews, Discord, email, livestreams, surveys, and polls as the community grows. Elementyle has strong fundamental gameplay base upon which design decisions can be made to have significant impact. Players will be able to directly engage with the balance and design of pieces as the meta continues to be shaped by new content releases during Early Access and into Full Production.'
