Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“Early Access gives you the chance to be part of the game's development. ASHWAKE was designed with community involvement in mind, allowing players to help shape the best experience without doing all the work themselves. The game still needs polishing to deliver a full experience and story that’s worth your investment. By supporting us, you’ll play a crucial role in developing ASHWAKE and help create the most impactful hardcore survival game possible. After the full release, we aim to include mod support with all the tools necessary for modders to enhance and expand the game.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“ASHWAKE is a long-term project, and it's hard to say exactly how long it will take to gather player feedback, refine combat, develop the story and atmosphere, and implement modding systems. The current estimate for Early Access is around 2-4 years, but this could change depending on the size of the development team in the future. Currently, the game is being developed by a solo creator.

The game is expected to leave Early Access once the story is complete and all mechanics are fully functional, with no major game breaking bugs or issues.

For more details on the game's development, please refer to the official roadmap and social channels in the Discord.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“We plan for the final version to feature more items, maps, quests, and weapons, along with a more polished overall gameplay experience, including mod support. We want players to have the freedom to enjoy the game their way, so we also plan to add modding tools allowing the players to create and customize their own experiences.”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“The price will increase closer to the release date to reflect the additional content, but all Early Access supporters will retain access without any additional cost.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“Players are the primary reason for entering Early Access, as it allows them to provide feedback on improvements and report bugs throughout development. The community will be able to stay informed and share their input through the official Discord channel and other social platforms associated with ASHWAKE. Another key reason for Early Access is to enable the community to contribute to setting up mod support, paving the way for future content creation.

Demo versions plan to be released so players can experience core features and provide feedback:

Public Demo 1 (Dates TBD)
Public Demo 2 (Dates TBD)

These demos will allow players to test new features and experience the overall gameplay before release. The primary goal is to involve players in identifying and fixing bugs, ensuring the game is the best it can be by launch.
