Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«Being a Indie Developer means we can listen directly to players and implement changes to the game on a fast pace to keep up with our community. Utilizing the community in that way, insures we develop the best game we possibly can. As Arcfall is a very social game, this is a very important feature of early access.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«We plan to have Arcfall in early access for the better part of this year, as we flesh out what is expected of it from our community and hope to reach Beta by late 2017. That being said, it will depend on what feedback we get and how much needs to be changed, including bugs and polish, so this time frame might vary.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The size of the world will be much bigger. Additionally there will be a lot more housing space and player-owned islands. As we get more feedback about different skills and crafting, a much wider range of things will be available to increase the variety of combat and character stats.There will also be periodic data wipes and large balance changes. As this is a skill based game, all skills will have a healthy amount of abilities to complement them. Most important is we will have fishing in it!!»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«Arcfall is currently in pre-Alpha. There is still a LOT of work to be done, and will be under construction for some time. Which means it might not feel like a finished game to you, the design hasn't been balanced, performance hasn't been optimized, lots of bugs to fix, etc. Joining now means participating in the development, while playing the game.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«The pricing on the game might change dependent on the amount of content we add. As this is the first version, it will include all the base content. As we plan to sell different DLC's, which will open up different races and continents, we don't intend to increase it much.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«We will be in constant dialogue with our community through Steam forums as well as our own forums. Every month we will be doing short surveys on the forums to pinpoint changes the community wants; after which we would place those changes in the development pipeline that's voted up. Being an indie development company and in early access, it makes it much easier to work alongside the community.»
