Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« Resident’s Battle: A Stranger’s Tale is in Early Access because I want to build it with player feedback while the core game grows in content, balance, and polish. The current version is playable and represents the foundation (combat encounters, progression, UI systems, and early story content), and Early Access gives me room to iterate quickly based on what players enjoy most, what feels confusing, and what needs better pacing. I’m committed to continuing development through regular patches focused on stability, new content drops, and quality-of-life improvements, while keeping players informed through Steam updates and patch notes. »

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

« Hopefully only 3-4 years, I'm a solo developer, actually a full artist trying game development for the one and only time, but I'm very driven and very passionate about this project »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The full version is planned to include substantially more content and refinement than Early Access. This includes additional story chapters and encounters, more enemies/variations, more locations/maps, expanded progression and balancing, and a larger set of scenes/events (including optional mature content). I also plan to improve presentation (UI clarity, effects, animations), expand settings and accessibility/QoL options, and continue performance/stability improvements. Throughout Early Access, some content may be added, adjusted, or reworked based on community feedback. »

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The Early Access build is playable now and includes the core gameplay loop, early content, and the primary systems needed to experience the game. Players can expect a functional foundation with ongoing updates.

This foundation includes:

-8 playable characters (4 unlocked at the start, 4 earned later through progression)
-More than 5 unique areas to explore
-A variety of enemy types with different themes and behaviors (from seductive enemies to eerie forest horrors)
-2 optional explicit scenes, including one repeatable scene that the player can trigger by choice
-A job system for earning money as an alternative to fighting
-A large set of original animated combat skills and abilities

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

« I plan to increase the price according to the content added. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« Community feedback will directly influence priorities such as balancing, encounter pacing, UI clarity, and which content gets expanded next. I’ll collect feedback through the Steam Discussions hub and by monitoring bug reports and suggestions posted by players. Major updates will be accompanied by patch notes and targeted questions (for example: difficulty tuning, progression speed, which characters/enemies players want expanded, and which systems need clearer tutorials). When possible, I’ll run small feedback cycles (experimental tweaks → community response → refinement) so players can see their input reflected in the roadmap.
