Защо „Ранен достъп“?

„Brush Up VR is based on Brush Up: the Toothbrush Training Game, an award-winning mixed reality mobile app. In its current state, it is a complete (and fun!) VR experience, but we would like to expand it to include more depth and replayability.

Early access lets us understand player desires. Although VR technology is not new, game development in VR is still in its infancy. Brush Up VR, in particular, offers an innovative style of gameplay which we are still exploring. We want to explore it with our player-base as we further develop the game.“

Как ще се различава планираната пълна версия от тази в „Ранен достъп“?

„This early access version is a lot of fun for players, but it is simple. We would like to add depth and replayability, as we learn what features our community most wants to see.

In the current game, the player's only goal is to simply clean all of Budd's tooth surfaces before the timer runs out. Our plan is to start with this challenge and introduce levels that increase in difficulty as the player progresses.

For example, in addition to racing the clock, in more advanced levels, the player may also begin to learn sophisticated brushing techniques. These techniques (such as the Bass-Stillman stroke) are difficult to execute, but dental science has shown them to be beneficial to oral health. In addition to earning a high score by deft brushing, the player acquires a valuable lifelong skill. (Our mobile app successfully teaches these techniques to children as young as 5.)
In addition to beating the clock, in more advanced levels, we would like the player to also begin to learn brushing techniques. The more closely the player matches the technique, measured by the controllers, the higher he will score, and progress to additional techniques, and unlocking cosmetic rewards.“

Какво е текущото състояние на версията в „Ранен достъп“?

Ще има ли разлика в цената на играта по време на „Ранен достъп“ и след това?

„This depends on the features that are added. If we deliver a full-skill trainer, the price may triple or more.“

Как планирате да ангажирате общността в процеса Ви на разработка?

„This game is primarily for kids. Young kids are unlikely to be directly involved in community discussions. Parents will provide feedback, based on their kids' game experiences and on their own concerns as parents.

We will approach the Steam Community with an attitude of Discovery. It is not our goal to make a game and then collect player feedback in response to it. Instead, we want to collect player desires, then make a game that responds to them!! The Early Access build provides a starting point for discussion.

We will be working with the community using the Steam Discussions page.“
