Proč předběžný přístup?

„This game started out as a stand-alone throw-away statement I made to some co-workers:

"I should make a game called Gazebo Simulator."

Several years later, I have brought this throw-away statement to fruition.

The current release includes the first expansive open-world level where players control a flying, weaponized gazebo. Gameplay follows traditional 3D platformer mechanics, challenging you to navigate through obstacles and defeat enemies while making your way to the level's exit.

We chose Early Access because we believe in developing this unique concept with community input. We want to ensure the core gameplay mechanics are refined based on player feedback before expanding the game further. This approach allows us to build a stronger foundation while working toward our goal of creating a complete and polished experience.

This Early Access version provides the foundation of our vision, with content expansions planned throughout development as we work to realize the full potential of this quirky concept.“

Přibližně jak dlouho bude tato hra v předběžném přístupu?

„We anticipate Gazebo Simulator will remain in Early Access for roughly 24-36 months. Our development approach focuses on crafting and refining one stage at a time based on player feedback and our internal quality standards.

Save functionality is planned for implementation once additional stages are introduced, allowing players to resume from their last checkpoint.

While development timelines may shift based on community feedback and development challenges, we're committed to regular updates throughout the Early Access period.“

„Future Features
Our development plans for Gazebo Simulator include several potential additions we're excited to explore:

Varied Worlds with New Mechanics
We plan to develop additional stages that may introduce different gameplay elements to evolve the experience. For our second stage, we're exploring concepts like altered gravity environments that could change how your gazebo navigates and interacts with surroundings.

Expanded Combat Options
We hope to develop additional weapons and offensive capabilities for your flying gazebo. We're considering various attack types that could offer different approaches to gameplay challenges.

Potential Upgrade System
We're exploring ways to implement gazebo customization options throughout the game. Our goal is to design enhancements that could improve maneuverability, defensive capabilities, and special abilities to support different play-styles.

Environmental Variety
As development continues, we aim to create stages with distinct visual themes and environmental elements that might require players to adapt their strategies, showcasing different aspects of gameplay.“
