Varför Early Access?

“We want to give players the opportunity to already play our game in the course of its development. This allows us to see which game elements could benefit from further development, or what possibly needs to be changed, so that we can adapt the development accordingly.”

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

“The game already spent a long time in Early Access. The previous Java version was almost at a point to move it out of Early Access - but instead we decided to move the game to a new engine and rewrite everything from scratch. The new version can be considered a successor of the original game.

It was important for us that everyone who already owned the game gets the new version free of charge. That's the reason why we kept it in Early Access instead of releasing the new version as a separate game.”

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

“The full version guarantees the player that he/she is also getting a full-fledged game, which means that all the important features have been implemented, and all the serious bugs eliminated. There will however most likely still be updates later on to simply continue improving the game.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?
