Почему ранний доступ?

«Hadal is a systems-driven game, and the best versions of such games are shaped directly through player experience. Early Access allows me to build the world, mechanics, and mission structure not only around my own vision, but around how players actually interact with the submarine, the ocean, and each other.

Community feedback is essential for tuning difficulty, refining crew systems, improving mission flow, and expanding the depth of Europa’s ecosystem. By involving players early, I can ensure the game grows in the directions that feel meaningful, intuitive, and engaging — not just to me, but to the people who explore the hadal depths first-hand.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«My goal is to keep Hadal in Early Access for no longer than six months — most likely less. Once the core systems, mission structure, and essential features reach the level I consider the minimum for a complete experience, the game will move to full release and continue receiving regular updates outside of Early Access.»

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

«The full version of Hadal is planned to offer a more refined, expanded, and stable experience based on community feedback. Early Access will help me balance the core systems, improve mission flow, deepen the atmosphere, and polish the submarine management loop. The final release should feel more cohesive, with smoother progression, better AI behaviour, expanded content variety, and a more complete representation of the world beneath Europa’s ice.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The Early Access version of Hadal is fully playable and includes the core gameplay loop: operating a submarine, completing contracts, navigating Europa’s under-ice regions, managing your crew, and dealing with the hazards of the deep. While the foundation is solid, the game is still being expanded and refined. Players should expect ongoing improvements — from quality-of-life updates and polish to larger systems, content additions, and overall depth of interaction.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«I do not plan to change the price after leaving Early Access. The game is intended to launch at the same price in both versions.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«Player feedback is central to the development of Hadal. During Early Access I will be closely monitoring reviews, messages, and direct feedback submitted through the available channels. This will guide adjustments to balance, mission flow, crew behavior, and overall quality of the experience.

As the player base grows, I plan to expand the ways the community can participate — potentially through community hubs, structured feedback threads, surveys, or focused discussions when larger updates are in development. The goal is to keep communication clear and to build the game together with the people who explore Europa’s depths.»
