Varför Early Access?

“With Rising Star 2 on Steam, the game was continually improved regularly over the span of 2 years after release, and occasionally even to this day. I realized that the community feedback helped drive many of the great ideas that ultimately ended up in the game, but it didn't happen overnight. I'd like to take the same approach with Shady O'Grady's™ Overnight Sensation, except properly going through the "Early Access" channel this time.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“As long as it takes to record the 164 soundtrack songs. We're hoping it could be 9-12 months.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“We plan to add more voice-over work, more collectibles, more game variations, more bosses, more random events, more achievements. Much of this will be driven by player feedback, so it's impossible to be specific at this point. As a matter of fact, Valve prevents us from being specific about plans so we're not making promises.

One thing is for sure... the AI-generated placeholder music will be replaced with human recordings before the game is considered "finished". This may take a year - it's hard to say.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The game is fully playable from start to finish!

The early access version includes all features listed in the game's description. The description will be updated as new features are added.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“The price will remain the same during early access, though it may be put on sale from time to time as allowed by Steam.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We have an active Discord server, which is the best way to get involved in the community and provide feedback directly to the devs. Steam discussions are also a good way to get involved, though the devs visit it less often.
Player feedback is always taken into consideration, whether it's balance issues, feature ideas, or bug reports. Sometimes you may see your idea appear within days of suggestion it, other times ideas won't get implemented due to complexity or balance issues it may cause. I'm usually very good with explaining why I don't want to implement an idea.”
