Почему ранний доступ?

«Ashspire is already a complete, fun roguelite: three heroes with their own abilities, three arenas, and a deep pool of relics, armor and upgrades. Early Access lets players join in while I finish the game.

Before full release I plan to add two more levels, a fourth hero, more items and a quest system. Player feedback on the Steam forums will directly shape balance, difficulty and which content comes first. (Feedback button in game can also be used to provide feedback)

I'm committed to seeing Ashspire through to full release and to supporting it with updates after launch.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«Maybe a year. I'm adding new content all the time, but at a certain point I will say the game is complete.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«Way more content, enemies, levels, items, bosses and a polished bug free (or close to it) experience.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«Ashspire is fully playable in its endless survival mode. The current build includes:
