Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„YOU ARE PURCHASING AN EARLY ACCESS GAME THAT IS NOT FINISHED AND HAS MANY BUGS. THE GAME IS CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A REWRITE THAT DOES NOT REFLECT THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE GAME THAT YOU ARE PURCHASING INTO. PLEASE READ THIS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MORE INFORMATION BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE DECISION.

In order for the community to shape the game they have always wanted, we believe it is better to involve the community in every step of the game making process in order for Jidousha Shakai to have the best outcome. Games that are usually behind closed doors 95% of their development life that have small beta's before release are very dangerous to the game's time-cycle because any bad features that are currently in the game are likely there to stay and that is a VERY bad move for the developers. This way, Jidousha Shakai has the best outcome for everyone.”

Mniej więcej jak długo gra będzie w fazie wczesnego dostępu?

„It is planned to be in Early Access from 5 months to 1 year, dependent on the communities involvement in the game. If the game gets great feedback and the community likes the product, we can continue pushing the route we are already going down. However if the game gets a majority of bad feedback then we need to go back to the chopping block and extend the Early Access phase understandably.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„The full version will obviously be a COMPLETE game with further branching additions in the future. While in Early Access we want to continue adding/completing the core mechanics of the game that the community has wanted for a long time. After the core mechanics are done, we plan to add many features that will prolong the games lifetime such as full workshop support (maps, cars, objects, etc), local multiplayer (splitscreen), dedicated official and custom servers (server mods incuded), and many more exciting features. After the game is nearing a more complete product it will be out of Early Access as planned.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„Currently the game is very playable with some cool features like..

• Buying multiple cars with an unlimited garage size
  
• Customize the cars to your hearts content with a plethora of amazing customization features
  
• Driving, tuning, and mastering cars around the open-world
  
• Basic mod support for custom maps, custom songs, custom decals, and custom texture mods.

This list will grow extensively during Early Access and you will be apart of it!”

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?

„The game will be priced relatively cheap during Early Access because of the game not extending it's full potential yet, however as more updates are added the price will gradually increase all the way up to leaving Early Access.”
