Wozu Early Access?

„Gravity Garden is still in an early stage of development. I think that now is a good time to get people playing the game and let them help to shape its progress. I'm a solo developer so gathering feedback during development is very important.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„I'm planning on 6 to 8 months in Early Access, possibly longer if I hit some big roadblocks or changes in the game design require more time. Doing my best to keep the design as simple as possible while still creating something fun and rewarding to play.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Features planned for the final version:

• Care for your plants by providing proper surroundings, water, and nutrients.
  
• Explore using your personal gravity jets
  
• Produce enough food and energy to survive and thrive
  
• Discover dozens of different plants, pests, and critters.
  
• Defend your garden from invading pests and weeds.
  
• Collect alien artifacts.
  
• Earn Achievements by completing fun challenges.

The also plan to add Steam Trading Cards, Achievements, and Cloud Saves.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Current version is playable but limited to:

• Menus to choose plants, tools, and options.
  
• 10 plants that grow, die, produce fruits, and respawn
  
• Tools for watering and fertilizing soil
  
• Tools for analyzing soil conditions and identifying plants
  
• Fruit harvesting and inventory
  
• Movement options: Classic first person controls, float in zero-G, or teleport
  
• Comfort options: snap-turn, smooth turn, movement speed, movement hand, steer via hand/gaze
  
• Rudimentary save/load system

All of the major game systems are in place, but there is not much 'game' in there yet. Working now on player progression, goals, and resource management. Right now you can have a bit fun growing plants and exploring the small, open world. You'll get a good feel for where the game is headed and get an insiders view of my development process.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„I do plan on raising the price when leaving Early Access. A lower price now is a good way to say thank you to early adopters.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„I'll be using the Steam forums to gather feedback, suggestions, and bug reports from players. I'll take all of this into consideration as I improve and expand the features of Gravity Garden. If there is enough interest I may also do some live video streams, or other interactive events with players“
