Защо „Ранен достъп“?

“Early Access gives us the opportunity to grow a community on Steam and playtest, engage and allow the community to help drive development. We are a small 7 man team that works on the game after our jobs and we've largely used Early Access to help server as an Alpha/Beta that's open to anyone who is interested. It allows us to do events weekly or at any frequency we choose and constantly release new updates.”

Ще има ли разлика в цената на играта по време на „Ранен достъп“ и след това?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and ideas. The first Early Access release will roughly be about half of what our release price will be, specifically because it won't be a content-complete version of the game.”

Как се планирате да ангажирате общността в процеса Ви на разработка?

“We will release a variety of surveys and hold "Play with the Devs" events to gather feedback through Discord chats, forms and other means to gather data and do our best to develop a strong family and community to serve as the foundation for the full release of our studio's first game.”
