Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Early Access enables the community to be early supporters of Vanquish Evil. They are able to provide suggestions to improve the game, while gaining access to the early available content provided. Frequent iterations and updates will add more content, improve gameplay -- and continually strive to improve game performance. All this works towards the full release of the game, when there is sufficient content available.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'The planned duration for Early Access is approximately 15 months, although this may change. This is a solo dev project.'

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

'The full version of Vanquish Evil will expand significantly on the foundation built in Early Access. Planned content includes:

- New zones/biomes with unique enemy types and bosses
- More spells and upgrade combinations, including entirely new ability types
- Additional base classes or starting characters with distinct playstyles
- Meta progression system, such as unlockable perks or persistent upgrades across runs
- Expanded lore and cutscenes to deepen the story and world
- Balancing and performance improvements based on community feedback
- The full release will represent the complete narrative and gameplay experience, with more content and systems that build on the existing core loop.'

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

'The current state of the Early Access version is the core gameplay loop which is the foundation from which to build from. Specific base upgrades and spells concepts were carefully chosen to encourage upgrade synergy and maximize fun gameplay.

The Early Access version features a custom-made RNG upgrade selection system that dynamically changes based on player upgrade choices.

All upgrades and character levels are reset with every new run. HOWEVER -- you can create your own unique builds with the new "Meta Item Equip" feature! This allows players to choose from the upgrade pool for their specific builds.'

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

'Yes, the game is planned to increase in price upon full release to reflect the added content and features. If that plan changes, it will be clearly communicated in advance.'

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

'Community feedback is a crucial part of shaping Vanquish Evil. Players are encouraged to share their suggestions and feedback through:

- Steam Community Discussions
- Community polls on features or balance tweaks
- Developer posts, patch notes, and roadmaps

Player feedback will directly influence:

- New upgrade ideas
- Enemy/boss behavior
- Quality-of-life improvements (QOL)
- Gameplay balance changes
- Level design and world-building

The goal is to develop the game with the community, not just for them.'
