Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'The core gameplay loop of Bored to Depth is playable, but we don't consider the game finished. There are still features and mechanics we want to expand, systems that could benefit from further development, and design decisions that we'd like to make with input from the community rather than in isolation.

Community feedback will play an important role in deciding what to prioritize and how the game evolves. We want players to have a genuine opportunity to influence the direction of development, suggest new ideas, and help shape the final version.

Early Access gives us the opportunity to develop Bored to Depth alongside its players, rather than waiting until all major decisions have already been made.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Plan is to gather enough feedback and implement enough features so the full release will be ... less boring. This might roughly take a year.

That time is planned for expanding content, improving systems, refining balance, and responding to player feedback. The exact duration may change depending on how development and community feedback evolves.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The Full Version: Less Boring, More Depth

The full version of Bored to Depth aims to be, well... less boring.

The core gameplay loop is already in place, but there's still plenty of room to grow. We plan to introduce new features and mechanics, improve performance, and give the game the polishing and balancing it deserves. We're also looking into adding Steam achievements.

On the visual side, we plan to replace the current graphics with new assets and introduce multiple UI themes, so you can give the game a fresh look whenever you feel like it.

We want your ideas to help shape its future. We can't promise to implement everything, but we'd love to turn your suggestions into actual features wherever possible.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The current Early Access version of Bored to Depth features a fully playable core gameplay loop, with all main mechanics implemented.

Players can experience the main gameplay as described in the About This Game section of the store page. The current version is playable from start to finish, although game balance, performance, and overall polish are still being improved.

Further development will focus on refining existing mechanics, improving performance, and expanding the game with additional features based on development priorities and community feedback.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'We don't plan to change the price.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'We want the community to be more than just an audience; we want players to help shape the future of Bored to Depth.

We'll gather feedback, suggestions, and bug reports through Steam discussions and community channels, using them to identify problems, prioritize improvements, and explore new features. We'll also pay attention to how players approach the game and which mechanics they enjoy most, using that feedback to guide balancing and further development.

We can't promise to implement every suggestion, but we'll consider community ideas alongside our own plans and aim to incorporate the ones that best fit the game's direction. Our goal is to make Bored to Depth better together with the people who play it.'
