Miksi Early Access?

As a solo developer who's fresh to the industry, practically every step I'm taking is a new experience. I would love to get as much feedback as possible while the game is in its early stages, so then I can ensure that this game is as fun and as memorable as can be!

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

This game will be in early access for likely a year or two, and then another one or two years of post-launch content. I have lots of other game ideas that I'd love to develop, so ideally I don't want to be focused on one project for too long.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The overall gameplay formula is a player-selected mixture of; level, gamemode, monster, and difficulty. I plan to implement more levels, gamemodes, monsters, difficulties, as well as more tools (flashlights & specialty items) and other various content as updates release. I'm also working to get player hosted servers implemented either for when early access launches, or as close to that day as possible. Dedicated servers and Workshop support are two other additions that I'd like to implement eventually.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Currently all content is still a work in progress. Right now, there's one map, one monster, one flashlight, and limited specialty items. Over the coming weeks and months, more and more content will continue to be implemented and finalized.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

The price will remain the same throughout alpha early access, and will increase one time only once the game moves into beta early access. The price will stay the same throughout beta, and also into its full v1.0.0 release (after early access). As time passes after development has come to an end, the price will drop.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

While most of the game has already been planned out behind the scenes, I'm open to all ideas and suggestions. I'll plan to regularly read reviews for feedback, and connect with the community through the SUBFAULT Steam discussions. I'm also active in THE.PROJECT Development Studio Discord (and easily reachable through there). Input from the community is something I will always value, and in turn use to make the game better!
