Tại sao Truy cập sớm?

“We've decided to launch in Early Access because this is our first game and we're learning as we go! We're as indie as it gets, so we know we'll make some mistakes along the way. Early Access is our way of ensuring the game runs smoothly before we call it a complete experience. Besides, there's a limit to how many times we can ask our friends to be beta testers!

So our goal here is simple: fix any serious bugs the game might have and add more variety to the procedural trail your sheepdog has to follow. Any player feedback will definitely help us determine what we should add next. So we're hoping some of you will find your way to this page and help us give No Sheep Left Behind a final polish before release.”

“We don't anticipate a very long Early Access period - roughly 6 to 8 months. The plan is to launch the full version when it feels just right, after we've had a chance to (hopefully!) hear from some of you and ensure the core experience is polished. We're committed to avoiding "feature creep" or getting lost in unnecessary mechanics, as we just want to deliver a simple yet fun game as soon as possible.”

“I guess it depends on what people think of the game, but our plan so far is to add a few more maps and a wider variety of hazards to keep your sheepdog busy! Obviously, we also want to ensure the game runs smoothly and is as bug-free as possible. But right now, we're just thrilled if it runs without crashing!”

Tình trạng hiện tại của phiên bản truy cập sớm là gì?

“We've got this game running on our machines and most of our friends' setups with no issues – there's just one rogue PC we're still wrestling with. We don't think there are any game-crashing bugs, but hey, that's why we're in Early Access! The game's core experience should be solid.

As shown in the gameplay footage, the procedural trail for your sheepdog to follow is currently composed of 9 different maps and four hazards that can kill or scatter your flock: wolf dens, archer towers, farmhouses, and any waterbody. We plan to add more variety to these as we go.”

Bạn có kế hoạch tương tác với cộng đồng trong quá trình phát triển của mình như thế nào?

“This project started as a hobby among friends, and setting up this Steam page still feels a bit surreal. The thought of having a community involved? That would be awesome! While we're still figuring out the best way to do it, you can be sure we'll be closely monitoring player reviews and all community activity on the Steam page, taking your feedback to heart.

We're also exploring setting up a dedicated subreddit or Discord server to have more direct conversations. We'll keep everyone posted on any channels we create, as your input will be invaluable in shaping No Sheep Left Behind!”
