Why Early Access?

“I deeply believe that Early Access is the most effective way to help my game reach its full potential. It allows me to refine every feature and gameplay mechanic, and to collect the feedback needed to make it as enjoyable as possible.

In other words, it's incredibly important for me to gather as much feedback as possible. I truly want to deliver the most polished experience I can, and the only way to do that is by publishing my game in Early Access.

Besides, as a solo developer, relying on Early Access lets me test ideas in real conditions and tweak my game quickly, almost in real time!

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Likely between 1 and 2 years. If development goes smoothly, it could take less time. If major features need more work, it might take longer.

Leaving Early Access means my game has reached a stable and complete core experience, refined based on player feedback.

Further updates may follow, depending on what’s needed to improve the experience, how I feel about my game, and how players respond. I will communicate as clearly as possible about the future of my game as the roadmap evolves over time!

Beware, my game’s versioning does not follow the classic “1.0 = full release” convention. Version 1.0 refers to the first public version of my game, not the end of Early Access.
”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Goldanniyatech will include significantly more content: additional fantasy creatures to fight, more Playable Characters, more vehicles to control, a wider variety of places to explore, more stores to visit for character upgrades, and new features that will make the overall experience much better.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At launch, the Early Access version will include multiple Destiny Quests to complete, a few monsters to fight, a couple of drivable vehicles, and a portion of the city to explore.

Development is still ongoing, so I cannot yet provide a crystal-clear list of features. I will clarify the exact content of the initial release closer to launch.

Moreover, some features are still experimental and won’t be included or playable in the first few Early Access builds.
”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I am not currently planning a price change for the full release of my game. However, I will make a final decision as the game gets closer to leaving Early Access.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I will listen closely to feedback on features, gameplay mechanics, visuals, performance, and overall enjoyment of my game. I will gather most feedback from social media and Steam posts, which I will actively monitor.

On the development side, I will share as much information as possible about what I am updating through social media, my website, and Steam. My goal is to be fully transparent, so players know exactly what to expect in the future.

After launching the Early Access version, I will look for new ways to gather feedback and improve the game.”
