Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«We have been having fun with The Maestros for a very long time now, but the truth is, the six of us working on this game simply cannot imagine all the possible strategies, skill levels, bugs, and perspectives our players will have.

Through Early Access, we hope to test and hone in on new, core game modes that really make the best use of The Maestro’s unique game mechanics. Additionally, we want player’s input crafting the unique playstyle and identity of our new second faction, The Alchemists of Regalis, so they feel different enough to play, but still at home in our world. We think player’s input on these elements and more will help the final version of The Maestros be a vastly better game.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«I suspect it could be about a year, but that is subject to change based on what we see when it's out in the wild. In particular, based on what features we see our community is really in need of.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«In no particular order, we really want to explore:

• New unique traits for Regalis
  
• UI Overhaul
  
• Multiple player-abilities to choose from
  
• Another map
  
• Elo/ranked system

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The Maestros has been played by thousands of players over several years, but it is still very much in beta, so it will definitely have bugs, things to balance, and lots of things to improve. Everything listed in the "About This Game" section is already implemented, including a leveling system to unlock commanders and their factions, 3v3 multiplayer, and leaderboards we will post on our website regularly.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«The price is unlikely to change on release.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«The goal is to actively gather feedback from intermittent surveys, forum discussions, and sometimes just putting out features that we aren't sure will work to see how people use them. In particular, we think there's a lot of need to evolve our second faction, The Alchemists of Regalis, and our game mode(s) to best use the mechanics that make The Maestros different from other games.»
