早期アクセスにした理由

“Nipi began as a passionate school project — but it quickly grew into something bigger. We’re now fully committed to further developing the experience into something more complete and refined. Early Access gives us the opportunity to continue working seriously on the game while involving our community every step of the way.

By joining now, you'll help shape the evolution of the game through your feedback, ideas, and support.”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“We currently estimate that development will continue for 1 to 3 years, but this may change depending on progress, feedback, and scope. We'll keep our players informed with regular updates throughout the development process.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“We plan for the full version of Nipi to expand significantly beyond the Early Access build. While the core gameplay systems are already in place, we're aiming to add:

• A more developed narrative with expanded story, quests, and dialogue
  
• Several new zones beyond the current one
  
• Visual and design improvements to the existing Zone 1
  
• Additional characters, puzzles, and environmental details
  
• General polish, performance improvements, and accessibility options

That said, nothing is guaranteed. As with any Early Access title, the direction of development may shift over time — including goals and planned features. That uncertainty is part of the creative process and, we believe, part of the fun. We’re excited to shape the game alongside our community.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The current build represents a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with:

• Fully functional gameplay systems
  
• One complete and playable zone with exploration, collectibles, and platforming challenges
  
• Working ability progression and upgrade mechanics

However, much of the content — including visuals, dialogue, and level design — is early-stage or placeholder. The current zone is expected to evolve significantly, and additional content will be added gradually as development progresses.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“By joining now, you'll help shape the evolution of the game through your feedback, ideas, and support. We're offering Early Access at a lower price point as a thank-you to early players and as a way to build a dedicated community around Nipi’s world.

The price may increase as more content and features are added.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“We’ll be using the Steam Community Forums as our main channel for player feedback and discussion. We encourage players to share their thoughts, suggestions, and bug reports to help shape the future of the game.

Updates will be posted regularly, and we’re excited to build this experience together with the community.

As the project grows or gains more attention, we may open additional communication channels (such as Discord or social media) to better engage with players.”
