Почему ранний доступ?

«Storebound as a full game will be built around several episodes that form a bigger story. We already have a clear vision for the full narrative and each episode, but we need help from the community to make the best game possible. Early Access lets us share content early, gather feedback, and improve the current and following content as new episodes are added. This is even more important for a game like Storebound, as making engaging narratives, puzzles, and challenges requires lots of iterations and feedback.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«We're aiming to release the 1.0 of the game within 2026, when all episodes are available.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«Our Early Access roadmap consists of the release of more playable episodes. The full version of the game will include all of Storebound's episodes, meaning more content. Each pair of episodes will bring a new playable scenario with new characters, new levels to explore, new puzzles to solve, and new employees to run from.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«We are starting Early Access with Episodes 1 & 2. It represents an average game time of 2 hours, depending on the difficulty you select, and on how quickly you’ll manage to solve the puzzles. Three difficulty modes let you choose between a more relaxed, exploration-focused experience or a tenser, more challenging one.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«We want to ensure our early supporters get a fair deal: you are paying for the content you can play right now, and not for future updates. As we add more content during Early Access, the game’s price will gradually increase. The 1.0 release will likely come with an adjustment as well, but we’ll always give players a heads-up before any change happens.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We already benefited a lot from community feedback when we released our demo, and also throughout the development of our previous game, Murky Divers. This collaboration has helped us improve the game and inspired the next steps of development. We definitely want to keep working this way, so please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts on the Steam Hub or on Discord, we read everything!»
