Чому дочасний доступ?

«We're a small team, so having a player based community to include in Varthos - HttT's development journey is invaluable to us!
With Varthos - Heir to the Throne we have realized our vision of a game idea to be used as a foundation. In what direction the game will be developed after the early access, what features will be added and how they will be prioritized should be worked out with the community.
Do we need a crafting feature, shall we focus on more skills or new biomes - we shall see.
Obviously, tweaking the balancing and finding bugs is also something we need a larger player base for.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«This is of course based on the game's success and how fast we can implement the feedback from our community. For now we're roughly planning with one more year of development in early access.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«While features are being developed (and sometimes even abandoned) in Early Access, they are intended to be fully implemented and balanced in the full version. This also applies to the scope, i.e. new biomes, monsters, items, etc.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«We have a playable core loop with a working meta game. Three biomes that offer randomized maps, individual monsters and items. The game can be played in both single- and multiplayer (coop). A tutorial is supposed to lend new players a helping hand.»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«Yes - to compensate for a title that is might be buggy and not yet fully functional, Varthos - HttT will be cheaper in Early Access than the full version. As usual, potential players can save money by purchasing the Early Access version and still support the developers from the start.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«As mentioned above already, we plan to let the community actively participate in the development process.
We welcome players on our Discord server where we will be in direct communcation, gather feedback, discuss ideas, potentially have community polls and so on.
Other than that there are the Steam group and forum as well as our social media channels.»
