Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Red Filament is currently in an early prototype stage. Expect the game to change substantially in the coming months as early feedback is collected and the major game systems come online. Steam keys are being handed out as needed. A lot can change! Stay tuned!'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We currently estimate that Early Access will last until Summer 2026. Red Filament is still under heavy construction, however, and a lot can change (including this estimated date!).'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Our Early Access builds are intended to validate design, art, and story decisions without showing the entire game. We plan to gather feedback, digest it, and use it to help guide the development of more levels, threats, items, and story beats.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Since Red Filament has only passed its First-Playable milestone, the game only has its core gameplay elements:
- One level (the small cargo ship) with loot, locked doors, access codes, and keycards.
- Six types of loot to recover.
- Three types of threats (tripwires, corrosive gas, and the {redacted}).
- A complete interactable system (for pressing buttons, picking things up, etc.).
- A complete HUD (including info, warnings, reports, goal tracking, and reminders).
- First-pass implementation of the Vitals and Inventory systems.
- First-pass audio implementation.
- A work-in-progress exfiltration airlock.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'Early builds of Red Filament will be free for playtesters but only accessible by Steam Keys given by Cloak & Quill Games (the developer). Once the game enters its Open Beta stage, those keys will be revoked and anyone will be able to purchase the Early Access version of the game and play. We expect the price of the game to increase as we add more content, features, and polish.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'Since Cloak & Quill Games is a tiny studio with only one full time worker, player and community feedback is critical to the development process. We need those juicy opinions to help identify the best and worst parts of the game, and to make sure we're meeting player expectations and communicating properly. For early feedback and questions, please email Alan (that one full time worker) at akestrel@cloakquillgames.com!'
