Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'I am currently a Master’s student in Game Design and Development, and REDSHIFT is both my BS Graduation portfolio project and a passion project. Early Access provides a chance to share the game with players while it’s still fresh, gather real feedback on the mechanics and refine the overall horror experience. This involvement not only helps shape REDSHIFT into a stronger release but also strengthens my development practice as I continue to grow as a designer and programmer.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'I expect REDSHIFT to remain in Early Access for about 3 months, with a maximum of six months if additional polish and testing are required.'

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

'The Early Access version of REDSHIFT is already playable from beginning to end. The full release is planned to include bug fixes and performance optimization, the addition of more voice lines and polish to existing scenes, smoother transitions and pacing adjustments based on player feedback, and enhanced immersion through finalized audio and visual effects. The overall goal is to deliver a clean, polished horror experience from start to finish.'

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

'The game is fully playable front to back with all core mechanics and gameplay systems in place. However, there are a few known bugs, and some dialogue lines are currently missing or have placeholders. Despite this, the game is completely playable front to back. For a detailed list of features, please refer to the "About This" section.'

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

'No. REDSHIFT is a passion project and is free to play during Early Access and will remain free after full release.'

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

'Community feedback is central to Early Access. I plan to involve players through a dedicated Discord server where they can share feedback and suggestions, as well as a bug report system that allows issues to be tracked and prioritized. Updates will be iterative and directly shaped by those reports, especially regarding pacing, scares, and other mechanics. As both a student and an indie developer, I want to use Early Access as a way to learn directly from players while also delivering a horror experience that feels fresh and memorable.'
