Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'So you’re interested in Survived By huh? Well this is where we make sure you know that we are going into Early Access because we, as developers feel that the game is fun and in a great place for players to jump in and play, but we’re still actively working on the game alongside the community.

Let’s be honest… that means we’re going to make some mistakes along the way. While we always try to give the the players the best experience with every update, it could be bumpy. It also means that no system is safe. If it's in the best interest of the game that big features get rebuilt or cut, that's what we'll do.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We are lucky enough to be in a place where this question can be answered with, "When it's done." Or, more appropriately, once we've locked in on what we all want this game to be and we believe it’s in an awesome state. Survived By will always be a living breathing online game, even once we leave Early Access, but once we do leave Early Access Survived By should be focused on moving forward rather than some of the lateral moves we expect to happen during Early Access.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'While many features will be shaped by an active discussion with the community, there are a number of features we do have planned to develop.

• Expanded character progression that really makes you feel like death is just the beginning
  
• New varieties of enemy attacks and behavior
  
• A pet system that will give players a wider variety of active abilities
  
• Expansion of the in-game challenge system to give players more directed objectives
  
• A wide variety of events to keep the game fresh and interesting
  
• Additional end game content, with at least three additional raid dungeons in development
  
• Far more options to customize your character from new Ancestral Legacies to additional gear enhancements.
  
• New character classes

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'

• 6 Classes
  
• 150+ Pieces of equippable gear
  
• 200+ Ancestral Legacies
  
• 15+ Dungeons of varying sizes and difficulty
  
• 250+ Enemies

The end game is still a work in progress, but a lot of the early and mid game is in place. The game is stable, but it could be more stable. The game has loot, but it could have more loot. The game has events, but it could have more events. The game is fun, but it could be more fun. In short, it's good, but it can always get better and we need YOU (not that other guy) to help us.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'Survived By is a free-to-play game and that will not change when we leave Early Access. The in-app purchases are also expected to remain unchanged between Early Access and the full version.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'The primary way in which the dev team will interface with the community is through the Survived By forums. We'll have a presence on other channels like Discord and Reddit, but the forums will be the main hub for communication. Discussions, suggestions and critiques will all be welcome and will be have a direct impact on feature priority and development.

Will my account / progression be wiped before Release?
Although we have no plans to perform additional wipe, please remember this is Early Access and if we believe one is needed for the betterment of the game before official release, there could be additional wipes.'
