¿Por qué Acceso anticipado?

“The main reason we decided to go with Early Access is that we wanted to test our assumptions with a smaller user base who want to help improve the game. Our goal with Reflections is to build an experience that feels natural with what the users do; our Storyteller System is designed around creating branches in narrative based on the actions a player takes, given a broad range of outcomes with varying degrees of complexity.”

¿Cuánto tiempo va a estar este juego en Acceso anticipado aproximadamente?

“We are anticipating the game to be in early access for a few months, to give us the right opportunity to evaluate user responses, tailor the experience to their feedback and produce new content that might be needed to fit unanticipated user input. We want Early Access to be as short as possible the feedback we've received so far has been invaluable and we want to take advantage of it to produce the most engaging game that we can.”

¿Qué tan diferente será la versión completa de la versión de Acceso anticipado?

“The final version of the game will introduce new story branches, some of which will be based directly on user feedback. The full version is anticipated to have 3-4 additional full story arcs and outcomes, which are the ones that require the most feedback from the community to evaluate. We'll also be adding in new character relationships to explore, adding new gameplay in each region and expanding the game's ending to have a wider set of interactive variations.”

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de Acceso anticipado?

“Reflections is launching to Early Access with a fully playable story that spans 2 acts, and presents multiple variations of play through each that are based on our Storyteller system. The endings are represented in text instead of the interactive levels that will be present in the final version. The game is a complete experience from end to end, and should feature few or only minor bugs.

The game is not yet localized into all intended languages, but we will be pushing to add languages frequently as we move through early access to launch.”

¿El precio del juego será diferente durante y después del Acceso anticipado?

“We are launching on Early Access at 33% below the price for full release. We know that our audience is helping us experiment and improve the game, so we want to show our appreciation by giving them a discount for joining us early. If you grab the game at any time during Early Access, you'll be able to get it for the discounted price.”

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

“The initial Early Access release features the core sets of interactions and mini-games that made the most sense to us to include. Once it gets into the hands of users, we're going to find out what types of experiences they'd like to have and include those as well. We're starting with the core essentials of the experience and drilling down into them during the Early Access period, to add depth and complexity based on the feedback we get.”
