Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Votica is a strategy/simulation game that we aim to develop together with the players. While the core mechanics of the game are already in place, we want to fine-tune the balance, add new content, and deepen the overall experience by gathering feedback from different play styles. During this process, the opinions of the player community will serve as a guiding force in both the mechanical and thematic evolution of Votica.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We don't want to commit to a specific release date, as there may be shifts in direction based on player feedback during development. However, our plan is to move Votica to full release after a few major content and balancing updates. We expect this process to take a few months.'

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

'In the full release, we aim to include features shaped by player feedback, such as new types of campaign actions, more diverse mini-games, improved AI behavior, enhanced campaign systems, and greater demographic variety. We also plan to work on elements that will enrich the experience, like cosmetic customization options, different game modes, and story-driven scenarios.

While the core structure of the game will remain intact, we hope to make significant progress in content depth and replayability throughout the Early Access period.'

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

'Votica is currently in a playable state, and the core gameplay loop is fully functional. Players can create their characters and complete 12-turn election campaigns in either single-player or multiplayer modes.

The demographic structure is randomly generated, action systems are operational, and some actions include mini-games. AI opponents and a basic balancing system are active. However, some mechanics are still under development, and aspects such as in-game balance, content variety, user interface, and overall flow will be further improved based on player feedback.'

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

'No. At this time, we do not plan to change Votica’s price after Early Access. Our goal is to maintain an accessible and fair pricing policy throughout the entire lifecycle of the game.'

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

'Player feedback is critical to the development of Votica. We aim to regularly review input received through Steam discussion boards, surveys, and our Discord server, and integrate it into our in-game improvement plans. Balance issues, new action suggestions, and mini-game ideas will especially be shaped by contributions from the community.

Additionally, we may run small experimental updates in the form of beta patches, allowing players to directly contribute by testing specific feedback-driven changes.'
