Porquê Acesso Antecipado?

"As a lone developer this product is dependent on user feedback from the community. In other words, to make a cool exciting experience, I need you to be able to steer it in the right direction! This can't be done without the help of the community.

User feedback on the game can vary from:

• Mechanics
  
• Storyline
  
• Controls

Furthermore i’d like to utilize the testing capabilities of the VR community for:

• Bug testing
  
• Acces to different hardware set-ups

Aproximadamente durante quanto tempo vai este produto estar em Acesso Antecipado?

"The duration is dependent on how fast the main phases are completed. These phases are:

• Implementing game mechanics
  
• Writing story line
  
• Implementing storyline using Game Mechanics

Currently we are in phase "Beta - Storyline phase". This means that during this phase you will see more gameplay elements come in to place as well as first editions of the singleplayer chapters. As mentioned I'll use the typical wave base shooter setup for this. The SP chapters will be first released on a seperate Beta branch which you can get into if you ask acces via the discord!

Now that I've been developing the game for a while I can say with certainty that finishing the entire project will take some time. Currently the first SP chapter is coming along nicely. But, as a lone developer I've noticed that I need to take breaks inbetween singleplayer builds to just be able to keep seeing where I want things to go. In these inbetween times I try and add small additions to the game like new monsters, horde maps and guns."

Qual vai ser a diferença entre a versão final e a versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"The full game will have a narrative driven goal and will span multiple levels. Currently I am aiming to have a story line that would take on average at least 5 hours to complete.

As an added bonus I intend to keep the horde mode as a separate mode."

Qual é o estado atual da versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"At it’s current state the main game mechanics are in a first phase state. In other words they are usable but not perfect. Currently the following things are available:

• Multiple wavehooter levels
  
• Mummy enemies, Zombie Nazi's and Living Nazi's that shoot you in the face!
  
• Lots of weapons ranging from machine guns to flame arrow's
  
• Adjustable settings
  
• Touchpad movement
  
• Leaderboards
  
• Support for all major headsets

for more details, please visit the roadmap section for Under a desert sun, on the steam forums."

O jogo vai ter preços diferentes durante e depois do Acesso Antecipado?

"I've set a low starting price which reflects the current state of Phase 1. The price will go up with completion of phases. These phases are:

• Creating game mechanics, 10 to 12 euro's depending on amount of maps etc
  
• Creating a story line, I won't increase during this phase
  
• Implementing story line using game mechanics, 10 to 15 euros depending on how large the game has become.

For the end price I aim to stay somewhere below 32 euros or the equivalent in other currency."

Como estão a planear incluir a comunidade durante o processo de desenvolvimento?

"Obviously I would like to get feedback on the entire game in terms of game mechanics as well as technical feedback. Furthermore i’d like to actively stay in touch with the community to see if new ideas arise that fit the game well. Several of these have already been implemented, like the fire-arrows!

I've seen some wonderful feedback come back in other early access games that have been successful on steam. I hope that by involving the community we can make something cool and exiting!"
