Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« We wanted to release this version since this first build is fully playable and has a relatively self-contained storyline, however our ultimate vision for The Museum of You is something much larger. In future versions, we hope to include more artists and galleries, polish and fine-tune the levels we have, and add more minigames for players to enjoy. This Early Access version of the game was developed almost entirely by a two person team, but we've already begun building out a larger team of talented developers, animators, writers, and designers to contribute to future versions.

We are committed to investing time, effort, and resources necessary to showcase a wide range of artists, do justice to their works, and create an engaging game experience with a satisfyingly interwoven narrative - all of which will be much easier with player feedback!  »

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

« We hope to be out of Early Access approximately 6-12 months after initial launch. »

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

« We hope to include significantly more art content and narrative branches, new voice actors, more built out gameplay and mechanics, and a clearer overarching storyline. It's our goal to create a large, immersive world featuring a wide range of art and artists, as well as tell a complex and nuanced story that is spread throughout different narrative branches.

While the later versions of the game will likely still make use of the low-poly, minimalist style seen in the early access version, we hope to spend more time fine-tuning the details and plan to add more levels and branches that feature higher-poly styles for contrast if possible.

This early access version includes pieces of this vision, but ultimately we plan for future versions to be much more built out, both in scope and polish. »

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

« We've been calling this version a "Prototype", but I think that doesn't quite do this early version justice. In its current state it is a fully self-contained narrative, with about 2-4 hours of gameplay, features half a dozen different puzzle / minigame types, and the galleries contain art from a dozen different contributing artists. There are 25 different endings that can be unlocked by playing through different narrative branches. The current puzzles and minigames are relatively basic (platformers, hidden objects, a low-poly sisyphus simulator, etc.) but I think they are representative of the types of levels, mechanics, and minigames we hope to include in later versions. Feel free to refer to our "About This" section for more details! »

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

« We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features. »

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