Through Early Access, we can gather valuable input from players and refine the game based on this feedback. Additionally, we want to build a long-term relationship with our players and ensure that the final version meets their expectations.”

“Currently, the Early Access version offers the basic gameplay, where players can explore the initial areas of "The City of Rain." The core mechanic of the game revolves around using music to unlock forgotten stories, guiding the player through collecting clues and repairing music using a music box.

“This is a fan-made game, completely free to play, with the development costs fully funded by the project director. Therefore, the game will remain free to play both during Early Access and after its official release. The goal of this game is to share our passion with players and to build a community, and as such, all content will be available for free.”

개발 과정에서 어떻게 커뮤니티와 소통할 계획인가요?

“We believe community involvement is essential to the development process, and we plan to engage with our players in the following ways:

Regular updates and feedback: After each update, we will release development logs and adjust the game mechanics and content based on player feedback.
Discussion forums: We will actively engage with players in the Steam discussion forums, answering questions and collecting suggestions.
Beta testing and polls: Before major updates or new features are released, we plan to run closed betas and polls to gather feedback and help guide development.
Social media interaction: We will stay connected with players through social media, sharing development progress and listening to their thoughts.
These methods will help us maintain a strong relationship with players throughout the development process and ensure that the game aligns with their expectations.”
