De ce acces timpuriu?

„Because the premise of the game is for players to decide its future with every update. Since the initial game was just be a blank slate with a button, Early Access allows me to set expectations and answer the question "Is this a Game yet?" with "No" in the beginning.”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în acces timpuriu?

„Given the nature of the game, it is difficult to estimate how quickly the game will evolve because it heavily depends on the players design choices. I would like stay in Early Access until the majority can answer the question "Is this a Game yet?" with a satisfied "Yes". If I had to give an estimate I would like to believe that the game will start feeling like a standalone experience in about 3-6 months. However, I want to emphasize that the development journey, even during Early Access, is quite literally a part of the game.”

Cum se va diferenția versiunea completă de cea disponibilă în acces timpuriu?

„This is an impossible question to answer due to the unique premise of the game. Players design every update with their submissions on the leaderboard. By the time we leave Early Access it might be a platformer, a story-driven horror game, a top-down cozy farming simulator, or an action roguelike. No one could predict the outcome. Every update shapes a new experience directed by the players. But no matter where we end up, the full version is planned to be a feature-complete game that can stand on its own, although the game might still drastically change even after Early Access.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în acces timpuriu?

„The game currently is a roguelite-style arcade game with randomized mini-challenges, including a rhythm game. The main game loop consists of attacking a blue and red bubble in turns to increase your combo and score, a multi-stage boss fight against MEGANOM, ocean themed graphics and visual effects, with several music tracks and sound design that drives some animations and game mechanics. The character is a WASD-controlled cursor unique fish-like movement and dash attack. There is also a hub world with meta upgrades for the cursor and an arcade mode to play all past iterations of the game. The player-driven design concept is tied together with a submission screen and guidelines for players to define their design directive, which are then part of the global leaderboard and upvote system to decide what the next update will be.”

Jocul va avea prețuri diferite pe durata accesului timpuriu și după părăsirea acestuia?

„Yes. As the game evolves, the price will increase accordingly. However, there are no plans for paid DLC, so your initial purchase includes all future updates. The final price will also stay on the lower end, given that it is still a solo developer indie project.”

Cum intenționezi să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?
