Почему ранний доступ?

«Spy DNA is a RPG that is driven by a simulation based combat system. We are bringing a level of detail which isn't generally seen in an RPG. We will be iterating on the ballance and detail of the system during early access and are looking for feedback from players to help us with the refinement of this system.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«The Early Access version will contain combat simulation with firearms. It will ship with many procedurally generated missions and a few story-line ones. The game will have full character creation and customization, music soundtrack, and some voice acting for PCs.

The full version will include the complete story line with dialog, more music tracks, more voice acting, plus combat simulation will now include hand-to-hand and martial arts combat. We will also further refine the AI to provide player with a more realistic experience.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«There are two major development projects underway for this game, the combat simulation engine, and the story/missions.

The simulation is mostly finished and we have been iterating on refining it for several months. The firearms simulation, damage models, accuracy models, and combat timing are ready. We will be refining these, but they are fun right now.

Early Access includes six storyline missions, several VR training levels, and a number of generated missions.

Storyline missions are right from the beginning of the game, so they will be gently increasing in complexity as the player becomes more familiar with the game.

The generated missions will give you an example of each type of mission you can expect in Spy DNA -- stealth, low-intensity combat, and high-intensity combat. Some of them will also include infiltration options, which allow you to use the strengths of your team to prepare before you actually go in.

There are a few areas which we are still developing. The martial arts system, non-lethal weapons, and area attacks are still being developed.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Price will not change when we leave early access.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«We are actively seeking feedback from the community to help us refine the combat simulation and fine tune the accuracy vs playability tradeoffs. The second area is helping us identify any areas of the UI that isn't intuitive to use. We want the game to be fun and easy to pick up for new players. We have put a lot of effort into UI design, and will be trying to refine it based on feedback.»
