Почему ранний доступ?

«Sonder. is a novel game concept in many aspects. We have implemented our vision to the best of our abilities, but we feel that it is missing the voice of the players and fans of this genre (Adventure and Hard SciFi). We wanted to leave enough time, resources and passion to address feedback from our players, so Early Access was an excellent opportunity for us.
We are excited to bring our players aboard and use their input to make the game better!»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«No less than a month, but since we want to leave enough time to be able to incorporate player feedback into the game - it may be up to 6 (six) months.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«We plan on taking our player feedback seriously, so we are not really sure where the road to completion will take us.
However, we hope that by the time we exit Early Access, we would support as many branching story-paths as possible, we would iron out any rough game mechanics based on player feedback, and make the story richer and more replayable.
We are also planning to have localized versions of the game, to make it easier for non-native English speakers.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The game is in a stable, fully playable state.
There are some rough edges here and there - but it is already illustrative of the unique gameplay style we are going for. There are multiple story-branches that abruptly end as they have not been fully fleshed out, but there is more than enough to sink your teeth in.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Joining us on Early Access means you will get a discount on the full game price - which is only fair as you are helping us finish the game with your feedback and support.
When we exit Early Access, the game price will increase to the full priced game.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«Feedback from our players and fans is the primary reason why we have entered Early Access. We will read every single word of feedback that we receive, in any way, shape or form.
Give us your feedback on anything: basic game mechanics, story, characters, graphics, usability, sound & music, replayability, non-linearity - and anything else you can think of. We are planning regular updates, as well as forums and discussions about the game all the way until final release.»
