Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« The core of the game already works: guests who order and pay, kitchen, bar, dishwashing, pantry, deliveries and furnishing the hall. We want to tune the pace, balance and controls together with players — their feedback will show what feels good in the tavern and what gets in the way — and grow the guests, new dishes and new rooms on top of that. »

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

« Roughly 6–12 months. The timing depends on player feedback: we won't release the full version until the main plans from the next answer are done and polished. »

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

« We plan to add:
- More kinds of guests: special guests with their own tastes, guests who judge the service and differ in patience.
- Unique guests with their own stories that unfold visit by visit.
- Events: fairs, festivals, visiting bards, changing weather.
- Gardening: grow your own vegetables and herbs for the kitchen.
- Helpers: hire staff to take some of the work off your hands.
- An end-of-day summary: earnings, tips, tavern reputation.
- Upgrades for the keeper (e.g. moving faster, carrying more on a tray) and new tavern rooms.
- Hall coziness: light, rugs and cleanliness affect guests' mood.
- New dishes and drinks, guest rooms on the second floor, your own brewing.
- More furniture and decor.
- Controller support, Steam Cloud saves and Steam achievements. »

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

« Right now you can: open the tavern and serve guests — they come in, order, pay and leave; cook in the kitchen (slicing, the cauldron, sandwiches on a tray), work the bar (taps, kegs, kettle, milk), wash dishes, manage the pantry, order supplies and furniture from the supply ledger with cart delivery, furnish the hall from a catalog of around 50 pieces, and keep the fireplace going. There is a day-night cycle and weather. Guest variety, the end-of-day summary and progression are still in development. Balance, the tutorial and parts of the interface are still being refined. »

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

« Yes. As major updates arrive the price may go up. Everyone who buys during Early Access gets the full version of the game and all its updates at no extra cost. »

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

« We read the Steam discussions and bug reports, post news for every update, and ask players what we should add first. »
