Чому дочасний доступ?

«Our team is looking for feedback! While Tidekeeper is designed to support education, we've seen that it's fun for general audiences, too. We want to make the game as fun as we can for everyone.

We are specifically looking to see:

• Is the scheduling mechanic meaningful, and does it assist in players' learning?
  
• Are the minigames engaging and rewarding?
  
• What kind of content would players like to see next? Ex. Collectables, New Minigames, More Characters, etc.

Among any other feedback that players might have to offer.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«Development will be on pause through the rest of 2024. We are aiming to pick up production again at the start of 2025, have a substantial update by March 2025, and release later that year.»

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

«We are planning for the full version to have significantly more content. We hope that players will be able to play through an entire in-game month rather than just the first seven in-game days. We are intending to add dialogue audio. We also plan to add new tasks that players can add to their schedule, leading to new minigames. We also hope to have specific endgame content based on the player's performance. We also plan to make a complete upgrade system that develops upon the current system, giving Finn and Chumby new abilities. We are also aiming to add collectables to give extra incentive to explore.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«Currently, players should be able to play through the first seven in-game days of the game. This means that they should be able to make a schedule and execute it properly on each day. There are several minigames to play through in order to execute the tasks, and there are plenty of hidden nooks and crannies to explore. There is one boost upgrade implemented that players can collect if they're scheduling efficiently. There are rebindable controls, controller support, and audio/graphics settings. The game saves between each day, so players will be able to exit and come back at another time.»

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

«Yes, we plan to raise the price of the game in its complete release.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«We are aiming to receive a lot of feedback from the Community about Tidekeeper. We will also respond to any questions and comments we receive here on Steam. We will also post updates about the game's development on the Steam forums when we pick it back up in 2025.»
