Varför Early Access?

“We at Dark Machine have chosen to use Early Access as a way to get feedback throughout the development process. There’s a long way to go still, and we feel it’s important to include the community in that process.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“White Knuckle is planned to be in early access until it is content complete and polished, which we currently estimate to be about a year. The game is fully funded and will be launching into 1.0 regardless of the success of Early Access.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“Over the course of development our goal is to slam as much content as possible inside of White Knuckle, new creatures, regions, secrets, game modes, the whole works. We really want to cram it in there.

We plan to launch Early access with the first 3 of a planned 7 regions for the Campaign. Beyond that, we are planning on new game modes: Challenge and Sandbox. And further than that: New Items, creatures, secrets, shortcuts, and on and on.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

The game also has Endless modes for each region, and for the current content as a whole. And finally, the game contains various progression based unlocks, including perks, levels, and items.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We directly communicate with our community through the game’s discord and the steam forums. We further involve the community by keeping open channels of communication with the playerbase, accepting feedback and bug reports, and showing them in-development content to gauge opinions.”
