Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“Gappo's Legacy VR is the first episode into an ongoing saga of future VR games with a strong narrative weight. It has a rich universe behind it and we have big plans for the franchise, this is just the tip of the iceberg. But being profound arcade game lovers, we felt that the best way to enter our extensive universe of desert and machines was to start with a thrilling and fun arcade experience where refined gameplay mechanics and high quality graphics provide an intensely deep and unforgettable VR immersion.

Although we still have room for new assets and features, after testing the game throughly with several hundred candidates we became convinced that it is frankly spectacular enough to share it with the community as it is and continue adding on from here. There is enough difficulty and replayablity as in any good arcade to keep everyone satisfied for a very fair price.

This can allow us to convince newcomers and reassure existing players of the incredible power of VR gaming, as well as to introduce some core elements that will continue to be important assets in the upcoming updates and following episodes. With a long path ahead of us, publishing in this modality allows us to start a community of followers as well as to use their valuable feedback throughout the production process.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“We will be adding more waves of gameplay, boss fights, and new gappos that provide the coolest weapons and mechanics to defeat the hordes of attacking drones. We'll add new social features through AR gamification and an online tournament mode where players can challenge each other on simultaneous play, individually or by teams in a bowling-like competition format. This is a list of things we'd like to add, there is no guarantee that all features will make it into the game:
- Multi-player competition mode. Individual and by teams.
- BoomShield gappo: throw your shield like a boomerang and destroy multiple enemies at once.
- Magneto gappo: control flocks of drones with a magnetic field and smash them against other enemies.
- Other cool gappos not commented for non-disclosure purposes.
- Flamethrower drone: a potential mid-boss, moves hastily around you, is shield protected, and spits burning flames at you.
- A few more enemy pirate drones with different strengths and weaknesses, as well as new strategies to kill them all.
- A few mid-boss drones and a final boss.
- New waves of gameplay.
- By unblocking achievements and gappos, which derive in new game modes and mechanics, we aim to make re-playability an important feature. Play the same levels with new super cool gappos.”
