Почему ранний доступ?

«Devil's Crew is built around a core loop of high-stakes risk, player choice, and cooperative tension. We believe the best way to perfect this balance is to collaborate directly with our players. Early Access allows us to gather critical feedback on mission difficulty, the balance of the economy and progression system, and the overall terror level of the environment. The community will be our Devil's Crew, helping us refine the stealth mechanics, introduce new horrors, and ensure the permanent hideout upgrades feel meaningful and rewarding before the full launch.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«We plan for Devil's Crew to be in Early Access for approximately 12 to 18 months. This timeline will allow us to fully implement our roadmap, which includes expanding the mission variety, adding new environmental zones, introducing more horrifying entities, and iterating extensively based on player feedback. We will remain in Early Access until we are confident that the game is a polished, feature-complete experience that meets our high standards and the community's expectations.»

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

«The Early Access version provides the complete, polished foundation of the Horror Extraction gameplay loop you can experience the full terror of stealth, extraction, and hideout progression.

The full version is planned to be significantly larger and more robust, including:

Expanded Zones: Multiple new, massive environment zones, each with unique lore, mission types, and environmental hazards.

New Horrors: A wider variety of horrifying entities with unique tracking, evasion, and patrol mechanics to keep players challenged.

Deeper Progression: A full suite of late-game hideout upgrades, powerful crafting blueprints, and cosmetic customization options.

Polish & Optimization: Extensive balancing, quality-of-life improvements, and optimization across all aspects of the game.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

Experience the core extraction loop in a few large, distinct environment zones.

Utilize and upgrade the initial tiers of the upgradable hideout.

Complete a variety of introductory and intermediate missions and contracts.

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Yes, we anticipate the price will be slightly increased upon the official 1.0 release.

We want to reward our early supporters who join us during the development phase, so the Early Access price will be lower. The final price will reflect the significant amount of new content, features, and overall polish added to the game throughout the Early Access period.»
