Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« The Saphead team believes that Crowhallow is ready for an Early Access release because we currently have a playable gold build where players can engage with the core combat, traversal and progression systems. We are committed to our ongoing development roadmap, and early access will allow us to continue to grow our community, gather feedback, and iterate towards the full realisation of our creative vision, while being transparent about what we offer in our current build and what we plan to add. »

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

« We anticipate staying in Early Access for 3 to 5 months, during which time we will deliver consistent content updates to our community »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The full version plans to feature all major game systems finalised (Crow abilities, all enemies [including the final boss], etc.); additionally, the final quality assurances will have taken place after addressing bugs and community concerns to ensure a completed experience. »

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

« At the launch of the Early Access version, players should expect access to the core gameplay with movement, as well as crow and knife combat; a functioning unlockable upgrade system, alongside access to the tutorial section of the game. Considering our project is somewhat of a high-score game, the version of the project that will be made playable will offer our core gameplay loop. »

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

« We will ensure that the Early Access price remains the same as the launch price. We do not want to punish players who want to wait for our full release by having them purchase the product for an increased price, nor do we want to reduce the price after our release, thereby impacting players who choose to play in Early Access and be a part of our journey. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« We currently already host a Public Discord Server for our community, where we solicit feedback and bug reports. We will be giving them regular weekly updates as well as bi-weekly posts on our Steam News page. We will be collecting all of this feedback data on balance, upgrade pacing, and bugs; then we will assess how we can address these concerns, before implementing the minor adjustments needed while in the Early Access period. »
