Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«We are launching ChessFinity in Early Access to involve players early in our development process. This will allow us to gather feedback on game mechanics, balance, and features, and refine the experience based on community input. Early Access gives us the opportunity to develop a richer, more engaging game with direct player involvement, especially as we work on features like AI improvements, additional chess modes and a solo campaign»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«We anticipate that ChessFinity will be in Early Access for approximately 12 to 18 months. This timeframe allows us to implement core features, polish existing mechanics, and expand on planned content like the single-player campaign, advanced AI, and additional multiplayer modes. However, we’ll be flexible with this schedule based on player feedback and development progress.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«Chessfinity as in its early access will aim to still be evolving when it has fully launched. There are no shortages of avenues to explore in terms of its direction. We want to give the players more power to ; customize, create their own content , pieces, game meta and more. Our goal is to create a polished, feature-rich experience with various chess variants and multiplayer options that can be built upon by the players to create a gestault and bespoke experience via cross mode content. The feedback from the player community will drive the end result.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The Early Access version of ChessFinity includes core multiplayer gameplay with support for 3+ players, customizable board dimensions, modded game modes and the Mana Chess mode. Postal games are functional for standard and modded chess. Players can play solo mode vs themselves / AI or online. They can experiment with board sizes, custom pieces ,different chess rules and modes. However, AI is currently basic, and there is no single-player campaign yet. We’re actively working on refining these features.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«We plan to increase the price when ChessFinity leaves Early Access. The Early Access price reflects the game’s current state and will reward early adopters who support development. As we add more content and polish, we believe the game’s value will increase, and the final version will be priced accordingly.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«Player feedback will be essential to our development process. We’ll use Steam forums, Discord, and in-game feedback tools to gather suggestions and ideas. We encourage players to share their thoughts on balance, new features, and content updates. We’ll provide regular development updates and polls to prioritize features based on community interest. Our goal is to make ChessFinity a community-driven project where players feel directly involved in shaping the final product.»
