Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« I chose Early Access because I want to build Beyond Horizon together with the community. While the core game is fully playable, I believe player feedback is essential for refining gameplay, balancing difficulty, fixing bugs, and deciding which new features and content should be prioritized.

As a solo developer, Early Access also allows me to continue expanding the game with regular updates while ensuring that new content is shaped by real player experiences. My goal is to deliver meaningful improvements throughout Early Access and create the best version of Beyond Horizon possible. »

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

« I expect Beyond Horizon to remain in Early Access for approximately one year. During that time, I plan to release major content updates on a quarterly basis, adding new stages, ships, bosses, features, and gameplay improvements. The exact schedule may change depending on development progress and player feedback, but my goal is to deliver meaningful updates throughout the Early Access period before the full release. »

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

« The full version is planned to expand on the Early Access experience with additional content, gameplay improvements, and new features based on community feedback.

Planned updates include:

* Additional stages and worlds to explore.
* New unlockable ships earned as Kuma's story unfolds.
* More boss encounters, including challenging multi-phase battles.
* Hidden secrets and optional discoveries for curious players.
* Multiple endings influenced by player choices.
* Additional achievements and gameplay improvements.
* Performance optimizations, bug fixes, balancing, and controller enhancements.
* Planned support for features such as local co-op, Steam Deck, and 4K where feasible.

The exact scope, order, and timing of these additions may change as development progresses. My goal is to continue refining Beyond Horizon into a more polished and content-rich experience throughout Early Access.

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

I also plan to share regular development updates, roadmap progress, and patch notes so players can see how the game is evolving. While not every suggestion can be implemented, community feedback will help shape future updates and influence which improvements and features are prioritized during Early Access. »
