De ce acces timpuriu?

„Our goal is to use Early Access exactly as we believe it was designed: To help us build a game our players will absolutely love. We want to spend the last bit of our game’s development fully embracing community input and new ideas. In game development, you’re often told to avoid something called “feature creep.” This is a habit often referred to negatively as developers tend to get too carried away with adding unnecessary or excessive content without actually finishing the game. Our goal will be to embrace a community fueled and player driven version of “feature creep” during our final stage of development. We’ll be actively encouraging players (via social platforms and an in game suggestion box) to share what they think should be added to the game. Our goal will be to implement as many experience enriching ideas as possible before our official release. ”

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

„We only want the game to be in Early Access for about a month. Giving us enough time to embrace the community driven feature creep without getting too carried away with it. We also don’t want to be caught in a “will they/wont they” in terms of our game’s release status. ”

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

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în acces timpuriu?

„The game will be ready for Early Access on November 1st. It’ll be a fully playable game from beginning to end, but we feel like the game is missing something we can’t quite put a finger on. The act of avoiding feature creep early on in order to finish the game feels like it’s left a small hole in the overall experience. Which is why we like the idea of embracing a feature creep fueled by players!

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

„The price will remain the same. We’ll do a 20% off early access sale for the first week. And a 20% off release sale on the official release if Steam allows.

Cum intenționezi să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„As mentioned above, we hope the community will be heavily involved in the development process at this stage. Early access players and our community on social media platforms will all be encouraged to share their ideas on how to make the game more fun! During playtesting we’ve implemented a “bug reporter” to allow players to report bugs without collecting any personal information. We’d like to do the same thing, but with a “suggestion box” (we may even build an in-game intractable version of this as well). Except this time we’ll also allow the player to put a social media handle, or something similar, and give full credits to any player who suggested an implemented idea, both on social platforms and in the game’s actual credits under a community feedback section.
