Varför Early Access?

“Rubicon Approach is a competitive first-person shooter. Early access is a great tool to receive not only user feedback on balance and map direction, but also to fully test the multiplayer system prior to launching the game. Virtual Reality is a challenging medium where users able to give feedback may be hard to reach locally, especially for a multiplayer game. Early access allows us to get a broad range of feedback from the variety of VR setups that exist. We feel that the early access tagline is our own commitment to not calling the game finished until we’ve polished the game balance and removed as many bugs as is realistically possible for mere mortals.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Most of the core gameplay is complete. The duration of early access will extend as long as it takes to get user feedback on maps, balance, and test multiplayer functionally. The goal is 3-4 months.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The full version will have a continually expanded map list along with several playlists for solo and team based play. A party system to easily join matches with your friends. Cross-play with Oculus Rift and other VR headsets. User base is a challenge in competitive games in the VR space currently, so finding a way to keep the content exciting for those who come back is critical to a final version of the game.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The current state of the game is a very functional multiplayer FPS system. We’ve buffed out as many game breaking bugs as we can find, and our main gameplay is entirely implemented and includes:

• 3 Hand-crafted maps
  
• 5 Unique weapons
  
• 1 Game type
  
• Stats and Leveling System.
  
• Online Multiplayer with built in voice chat and matchmaking.

”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“There will be a price increase upon leaving early access.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“Community involvement is key for success in VR multiplayer games. Along with the steam discussion boards there will be an open discord channel where features and maps will be discussed with the community.”
