Wozu Early Access?

„The game is unfinished. The game was originally planned to fully release on the release date (april 16), but due to large scope and development delays it's completely unfeasible to fully release on time. Because of that, I decided to release with early access.
My Early Access build is a foundation—a working game engine with basic systems in place—but it’s far from the complete experience I envision. At this stage, the content is intentionally minimal as I focus on establishing the core mechanics and structure of the game. My hope with early access is that player feedback can drive the addition of new content as the game goes from an empty shell to a proper full game experience. Even then, it's very likely new systems and mechanics will have to be added to satisfy the large content needs. This is a roguelike after all, so there needs to be a very large amount of content (new blocks, machines, items, etcs) to make sure every playthrough is unique, and the game also lacks an ending, which will hopefully be worked out during early access.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„4-12 months“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„My goal is to further develop the game by refining its core systems, expanding content, and potentially introducing new gameplay mechanics. I plan to feature a proper ending, many new blocks, items, and contract, and possibly new systems and mechanics.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Beta. Quite unfinished and still needing work, but still playable and enjoyable. The game has the base mechanics in place, but needs more polish and content. Currently, the game has about 4 rounds worth of playable content, an electricity system and a handful of electric blocks, about 45 blocks in general, a working shop and a system for getting contracts to progress rounds. My store's about this page has more information about the current state of content.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Yes. Game will 100% be free in early access, and will likely go paid once released, but might stay free.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„I hope to use community for playtesting and feedback. If people show interest in mods or making content, I hope to bring them on to help out. Game will be free for all early access, and possibly on launch.“
