เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“While developing a game set in the space of 4D polytope's manifold, entirely new 4D rendering engine was developed. While testing it, a specific framework was developed that allows to explore various convex polychorons through the ability to rotate around them and paint their cells in different colors. This process was found to be engaging and perhaps even slightly addicting, so it was decided that this functionality should be made into entirely separate sandbox-like experience in addition to actual gaming experience.

So it was decided to make exploration component a namesake of the project and its principal part. Since this component is close to completion, Early Access seems justified.

Early Access is needed to get feedback from the community. Developer has no access to any testers so can't release product in good conscience without additional community involvement.

Early Access goals are:

* Receive feedback from the users about additional features they expect and bugs.

* Obtain the playtesting for the game that is planned to be added in the future.

Regardless of success of this Early Access or lack thereof, developer plans to release final product in specified timeframe. Early Access is for people who find current set of features useful or wants to influence the development of current and upcoming functionality.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“1-4 months.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“It is currently planned to add at least one game before releasing final version of the product.

In addition, here are some planned features for exploration mode (more may be added according to community feedback):

* Implementing support for game controllers with in-game configuration, including UI access.

* Adding limited movement in 4D rather than always looking at the center of a figure.

* Create new figures by intersection of 2 existing figures.

* Precision instruments for specifying cutting hyperplane.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“Exploration sandbox is complete. But some planned useful features are missing.

You can see the currently available features in the Full Product Description section.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“At this time there are no plans to change the price when leaving Early Access.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“As a developer I intend to communicate with the community through Steam Discussions page for this product. I plan to check the forum daily and respond where appropriate.

Reported bugs will be addressed. Ideas for improvements and new features are also most welcome.

After the first game is finished, community will be kindly asked to play-test it and provide feedback for improvements before eventual release from Early Access.”
