早期アクセスにした理由

“Based on our experience with previous games, Early Access has been one of the most effective ways for us to develop a simulator together with the community. It allows players to experience the game earlier while giving us real feedback on how the core systems feel in actual play.

For this game, Early Access will help us validate the main gameplay loop, identify which parts are enjoyable or confusing, and understand which areas need more improvement, balancing, or expansion.

The feedback gathered during Early Access will help us refine the game toward a stronger full release. We will continue listening to the community while making adjustments that fit the overall direction and vision of the game.”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“We currently expect the game to remain in Early Access for around 4 to 6 months. However, this estimate may change depending on development progress, testing results, and feedback from the community.

During Early Access, our focus is not only to finish the planned content, but also to evaluate several experimental features. We want to make sure these features feel enjoyable, work well with the overall gameplay, and are realistic for us to complete with the resources available.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“The main difference between the Early Access version and the Full Version is planned to be the amount of content, available features, and overall level of refinement. Some features may also be adjusted or expanded based on feedback gathered from the community during Early Access.

For the Full Version, our current plan is to develop and improve several areas, including:
1. More varied production outcomes from different types of minerals
2. More diverse machine pipeline setups
3. Additional mineral variations
4. More challenges through projects or contracts

Please note that these features are still part of the current development plan and are not tied to a fixed timeline. Our priority is to make sure that any feature added to the game provides meaningful value and creates a more enjoyable simulation experience.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The current Early Access version is still in the early phase of development. At this stage, we have introduced the core gameplay of managing an automated mining operation, including setting up basic mining machines, processing raw minerals into sellable gemstone pieces, producing gravel through a dedicated production line, and using a delivery system with limited destination options.

Many features are still being adjusted and expanded gradually to make the gameplay more engaging, clear, and challenging. Our goal is to improve usability while adding meaningful progression and challenges as the game continues to develop.

We will keep monitoring community feedback to help improve these systems, while ensuring that any changes remain aligned with the overall direction of the game and are realistic for us to implement.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“The Early Access price is set as what we believe is a fair value for the game at its current stage. It also serves as the starting baseline for any possible pricing decisions in the future.

As the game grows with more content, improvements, and overall polish, the price may be adjusted before or at full release. However, no price change is guaranteed at this time, and any adjustment will depend on the final scope and condition of the game.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“During Early Access, we plan to involve the community by gathering feedback from players as they experience the game directly. This feedback will help us understand which parts of the game feel enjoyable, which systems need clearer explanations, and which areas may need further improvement.

Players can share feedback and report issues through:
1. Steam Community discussions
2. In-game feedback features
3. Bug reports through Steam Community or the in-game reporting system

We will review the feedback we receive and consider which suggestions are possible to implement while still matching the overall direction of the game.

By involving the community during development, we hope to build a more polished, stable, and enjoyable game for the full release.”
