Varför Early Access?

“The philosophy behind our development process is rooted in the collection of feedback from our users, and the rapid introduction of ideas that serve to make the gaming experience better. Early access allows us to deeply engage with consumers, while supporting the staffing required to get the job done right.

Given that we are empowering users with UGC tools, the early access program also allows us to identify potentially disruptive behaviors and unintended outcomes that could jeopardize the health of our community. Catching potential problems early and redeeming gamers that may choose engage in damaging behaviors in an early access setting will give us a strong standing, and a strongly united and healthy community, come launch.”

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

“We're looking to release in November, 2018.”

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

“The full version will allow for more creation tools, game types, and a robust system of community-curated UGC submissions. This means more creative freedom for our community, but with a commitment to egalitarian principles governed by an engaged and active community made up of people who love to build games, love to play games, and those who love participating in both.

This is taken from the about us page:

Prior to launch, future updates will allow you to build, share, and play new Q.U.I.R.K. game types like:

• King of the Hill
  
• Sports Ball Arena
  
• Capture The Flag
  
• Tower Defense
  
• And the many, many game types that will be suggested and created by our community.

While Q.U.I.R.K. master builders can currently share their levels directly with friends, we are on our way to building a full-featured UGC system using the Steam Workshop. For now, we'll be accepting new UGC submissions for death match arenas directly from the community.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“We'll be exploring the appropriate pricing options as we solidify our content updates, customization options, and most importantly the opportunities and expectations defined by the feedback we gather from our community.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“Community involvement is the corner stone of our development process. The 8 members of our team worked together to create core studio values that are referenced daily as posters on our wall. While we cover topics like Product Development, Working Together, Our studio values on community take center stage, and are as follows:

• We're developing with the community as a partner, not simply as a consumer
  
• We're not afraid to listen, capture, and enact community feedback
  
• We are all responsible for contributing to growing a healthy community.
  
• We're welcoming, inclusive, and fun
  
• We always explain the reasoning behind our choices and design intentions
  
• We aren't afraid to publicly admit when we've made a mistake, and will work swiftly to fix it.
  
• We are honorable in our dealings and honest in our communications with our community
