Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'The Aurora Chronicles is an episodic visual novel with plans for 24 episodes across 4 acts. Early Access allows me to release completed episodes progressively while gathering player feedback on story pacing, character development, and gameplay features. As a solo developer, this approach lets me refine later episodes based on community response to earlier ones, aiming to create a better overall experience. I want players who are excited about episodic sci-fi storytelling to experience the series as it unfolds and provide feedback on pacing, presentation, and quality-of-life features.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'I anticipate Early Access lasting approximately 2-3 years as I release episodes progressively. Each act contains 6 episodes, and I plan to release new episodes regularly throughout the Early Access period as I work toward completing all 24 episodes.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Early Access begins with the first episodes of the story. I plan to expand the game to include all 24 episodes across 4 complete story acts, along with additional polish based on player feedback and quality-of-life improvements suggested by the community. I also aim to add features like enhanced cross-platform save functionality and localization as development continues.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The initial Early Access release includes the first two fully playable episodes with complete voice acting, original music, and all artwork. Core gameplay systems including the visual novel interface, save/load functionality, and cloud saves are fully implemented. Players can experience approximately 2-3 hours of story content.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'I plan to gradually raise the price as I add new content. My intention is for players who purchase early to receive all future episodes at no additional cost. I expect to increase the price after each act (6 episodes) is completed, rewarding early supporters with the best value.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'I plan to maintain active communication through social media and community spaces, sharing development progress and updates regularly. Players can report issues, suggest quality-of-life improvements, and provide feedback on pacing and presentation. While the story is fully outlined, community input helps me refine the experience—things like interface preferences, accessibility options, and technical polish.'
