Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« NETfishing is in Early Access because its core multiplayer and fishing systems are functional, but the game is still under active development. Early Access provides the real-world network, hardware, usability, and balance testing needed before a stable release. Players should expect bugs, unfinished systems, limited content, balance adjustments, and occasional compatibility-breaking changes during development.

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

« The full version is planned to expand the fish catalog, clothing, fishing accessories, character customization, activities, gathering systems, multiplayer administration tools, and explorable world content. There's obviously still a lot left to do! We also plan to improve progression, balance, interface consistency, controller support, performance, network reliability, and dedicated-server operation. The list goes on and on. The stable release is intended to provide a more complete and reliable version of the existing game structure, with fewer compatibility-breaking changes than the Early Access builds. »

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

« The Early Access version is a playable alpha with functional online multiplayer, public and private rooms, and dedicated-server support. Players can catch, collect, and sell fish and crabs, purchase equipment upgrades, complete daily and lifetime jobs, customize their characters, and use the Art Kit to create shared artwork in the game world. Time and weather systems are also implemented.

The current version remains incomplete. Content is limited, some systems and interfaces are still being revised, and bugs may affect networking, performance, controls, presentation, or progression. Updates may change saves, network compatibility, balance, and existing mechanics. All players in a multiplayer session must use the same game version.

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