Proč předběžný přístup?

„As a solo developer, I'm excited to launch Effulgence RPG in Early Access to refine the gameplay depth and controls with direct input from the community. The unique ASCII 3D visuals and location structures are fully ready, providing a solid foundation. Early Access allows me to iterate on the party-based combat and crafting systems (breaking down enemies into particles for gear) based on player feedback, ensuring a truly polished experience by full release.“

Přibližně jak dlouho bude tato hra v předběžném přístupu?

„Approximately 6 months, targeting a full release around June 2026. This timeline allows for monthly content updates (new zones and features) and balance refinements based on community input, with flexibility to extend if needed for optimal quality.“

Jak se bude plná verze lišit od předběžného přístupu?

„I plan to build on the current foundation with additional zones and features, explore deeper late-game options, broaden party customization, and continue polishing combat and controls with community feedback. My goals also include ongoing balance passes, more crafting variety, and performance/UX improvements. Save compatibility is a priority during Early Access, but may require adjustments if technical constraints arise.“

V jaké fázi vývoje se hra nachází?

„Playable and stable with the game's core identity already visible:
★ Unique 3D visuals with lighting/animations.
★ A structured set of locations forming a short but complete gameplay loop.
★ Tactical cartridges and narrative interludes that capture the game's tone.
★ Saves, basic settings, and controller support are in.
What's still work-in-progress: combat depth/variety, advanced controller mapping and expanded content.“

Změní se cena hry po skončení předběžného přístupu?

„Yes. The EA price is lower and will increase at 1.0 to reflect the added content and polish. Anyone who buys in Early Access keeps all future updates to 1.0 at no extra cost.“

Jak plánujete zapojit komunitu do vývoje této hry?

„I develop solo and actively rely on community input:
★ A pinned "Feedback & Bug Reports" thread on Steam Discussions.
★ Short feedback forms linked in-game for quick reports.
★ Transparent roadmap posts and milestone notes every few weeks.
★ I'll summarize what I heard, what's next and why certain choices were made.“
