Wozu Early Access?

„Thirst or Bust is built around cooperation, competition, and the choices players make over limited supplies. We want players to help shape the balance between surviving together and pursuing personal goals. Early Access will let us gather feedback from different groups and use it to refine roles, items, navigation events, and the pace of a match while development continues.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We currently expect Early Access to last approximately one months from its launch. This is an estimate rather than a fixed release date. The schedule may change depending on development progress and player feedback.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„For the full version, we plan to refine role abilities, item choices, navigation events, and match pacing based on player feedback. We also aim to improve the clarity of the interface and rules, the experience for new players, multiplayer stability, and performance. The scope and priority of these improvements may change during Early Access.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The main game has not launched in Early Access or as version 1.0. The currently offered test is a separate, free Steam Playtest featuring Voyage Survival only: up to 8 players share ship duties, compete for water and supplies, manage equipment, rescue animals, and cooperate or compete around secret personal goals. The test includes Steam online rooms, in-game voice chat, and English and Simplified Chinese interfaces. Shipboard minigames are planned for later and are not included in this test. Content, rules, and balance are still being refined, and players may encounter bugs. Future Early Access availability will be announced separately.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„We do not plan to increase the game's price during Early Access or when it leaves Early Access.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We plan to collect bug reports, balance feedback, and suggestions through the Steam Community discussions, and share development progress and changes through Steam announcements. Feedback about confusing rules, role and item interactions, match pacing, and multiplayer problems will help us prioritize improvements. Please include the game version and steps to reproduce a problem when reporting a bug.“
