早期アクセスにした理由

“Because we love you. We want you to be happy. We want you to really enjoy Pix. So we made 36 levels to get you started. So you play them, then let us know if they made you happy. Then we'll polish them based on your feedback, to make you even more happy. Because we love you.”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“At least a few months. Maybe half a year. We want to hear from you what kind of levels you like, what you think is best about the game, and what can be improved. Then we grind. Grind grind grind. More levels for you. We grind and grind more and more levels for you.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“Early Access is starting with 36 levels. During the Early Access months, we'll keep grinding out more new levels. The full version will be released when we feel like there are enough well-polished levels that the EA community is really enjoying.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“Early Access is launching with 36 solid levels we feel provide a good variety of experiences, and fun replay. The first few levels are naturally orientation / tutorial, and then they begin to ramp up in difficulty so the average level is somewhere around a medium challenge to finish the level. The real challenge in the game is in collecting the 3 pixels on each level.

In the beginning levels, it's easy to collect all 3 pixels. But as the game progresses, they become more challenging to get. When the game is hitting its stride, the 3 pixels are basically Easy, Medium and Hard to collect. But that ramps up like crazy, since collecting just 1 Easy pixel is, well... easy, but try to get all 3 on the same level is gonna tax your platforming skills and see what you are really made of!

Also, all the levels are unlocked. No reason to lock them and make you complete specific ones to unlock the rest. You get access to all of them so you can choose your own level of challenge / difficulty by how many pixels you go for on each level!”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“Yes. During Early Access the price is discounted based on how many levels there are. As the amount of levels increases, the price can be slowly ramped up until there are enough levels for the full version at peak price.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“Communication through steam forums, YouTube & Twitch gameplay, and other feedback channels. We love watching your gameplay videos, seeing your screenshots, and reading all your comments. All feedback is welcome, both compliments and criticism. We learn what makes you the most happy, and incorporate those things in the new levels we grind out for you!”
