Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'The game is already viable as a standalone product, but VR is a fledgling industry and input from the community is invaluable to make a good game great. There are some game features I believe would benefit from community involvement.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Only a few months, if all goes well.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Multiplayer support is the main feature that I wish to implement before I am happy to make this a full release. Additional features on the table are extra locations and AI opponents. If time permits, I hope to add these before a full release, but they may be added in a future update instead.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Magician's Gambit is already a superb single player chess experience. At present, gameplay against a single AI opponent in a deserted tavern setting is supported. Chess logic is powered by the Stockfish Chess Engine, a very strong and highly regarded engine. A large range of AI difficulty is available - adjust the difficulty to suit your competency, from beginner to levels that few, if any, human players would be able to beat. Powered by Unreal Engine 4 and delivering graphic fidelity rarely seen in a chess game, Magician's Gambit is polished to a high sheen in this Early Access version.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'Probably, yes. With the addition of Multiplayer (and hopefully the extra planned content), I believe a price increase would be warranted.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'I'm hoping to get feedback on VR gameplay, controls, difficulty level and additional features that I did not prioritise for the initial release. There may even be some features that, depending on scope, could be later added in DLC if not feasible in the first release.'
