Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«You could say that this game became a reality because of Steam Greenlight, and the support and warm attitude of the common players like me myself.

I started to work on the game about three years ago, and at that time it was only a hobby. I just did it for myself, with love and care, and a thorough and keen sense that everyone’s favorite hobby demands. One evening during Fall of 2013 I decided to show my work to a decent group of gamers and put it out there on STEAM Greenlight. Frankly, I didn’t expect anything to happen because I’m a skeptic by nature. But by morning there were so many people who liked the world I created and the game I was developing - I was just really surprised when After Reset RPG was Greenlit in five days with the best statistics I’ve ever seen on Greenlight.

Anyway, votes are just votes and I remained skeptical, but I decided to put the game (at least it’s Prologue) on Kickstarter to see if people were actually interested in the game. I did this to see if they were ready to support the game with their money and not just kind words. It worked, and it helped me to hire team members to work on the game. I even sold my own business to further invest all my time and energy in the development of After Reset.

So, now we’re coming back with something decent to show to our fans and to concentrate on our alma mater on the Steam Early Access. The funds we gathered should help us to boost the speed of our development and to implement more stunning content into the game.

But don’t take my word for it, check our first tech build that we made back in 2014 for Win/Mac/Lin for free on Steam.

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

«The game is going to be developed in chapters. The estimated delivery date for the Prologue is Q1 2017, and the full game should be completed in 2018 with the proper financing received. Each chapter should take about 4-6 months to develop.»

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

«The full version will contain all of the game’s chapters. All Add-Ons will be filled with the relevant content, and we’ll open up the Global mode to launch the roleplaying session.

With the Quanton Sync feature, after the game session our computers will calculate a Global ending of the session for After Reset's world. Everyone's choices will be taken into account; we'll polish it, and a final Global ending that will be released in addition to the conclusion of your own personal story.

We also consider a special chapter to give for our SEA rooters to be included in the final game and can be unlocked by them only.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«For now we reckon to keep the price at the level that benefits our first supporters from Kickstarter and Direct Pledges.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«As an old school gamer and roleplaying DM, as well as the creator of the setting, I rely on my own experience and vision. However, we really need your feedback and thoughts on the materials we publish in our updates for the game. We need to be in touch with the community of players we’re working for, with the people who trust us, believe in us, and roots of our game.»
