Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«Extinct Forest is a physics-based shooter heavily inspired by classic 90s dino-games. The gameplay focuses on realistic weapon handling, physics interactions, and tactical combat. Early Access allows us to fine-tune the difficulty, weapon physics, and dinosaur AI based on direct player feedback to ensure a challenging but fair experience.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«We plan to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. However, this timeframe may be subject to change depending on player feedback and the scope of additional features requested by the community.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The current Early Access version is fully playable and stable. It includes the initial open-world sectors where key mechanisms like physics-based combat, inventory management, and environmental puzzles are fully implemented.
Important: This is a narrative action game, not a survival simulator. There are no hunger, thirst, or crafting mechanics. The focus is entirely on tactical combat and atmospheric exploration.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«Yes, we plan to slightly increase the price upon the full release to reflect the added content and polish. Early supporters will benefit from a lower price during the development phase.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«We will actively monitor the Steam Community Hub to gather feedback. We are particularly interested in hearing how players feel about the weapon handling, the physics interactions, and the combat difficulty. We want to shape the final balancing of the game together with our players.»
