早期アクセスにした理由

“Early Access is an awesome way to get the community involved sooner. The sooner we get feedback the faster I can make changes to fix bugs and add new features.

Although I have a roadmap of what would be in the final game, I'm excited to see what fans will come up with along the journey. Early access will help me reach out to the fans of the game sooner and make updates more quickly accessible.

Part of my development process is to do live Steam on Twitch. This way players can directly reach out with feedback in the chat live as the game is being made.

In addition to the live streams I have buttons in the game where players can submit feature requests or bugs they encounter. I want to make it as easy as possible for players to give feedback about their experience.

Since Early access will allow me to make releases sooner, I'm going to plan on doing a major update every month. The major releases will include features like new campaigns, enemies, environments, badges, and tiles. Also I plan to release minor and patch releases as necessary.

The goal is to make a fun game where players can create fun campaigns and share them with each other. I'm committed to continue working on it to make sure that happens.”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“Until there is enough features in the game and bugs out the game that it feels right to change the game from early access to release. This may be for another year or two. Even when the game is released I plan to do continual updates to it.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“Right now there is no online database to upload your adventures and get a share code like Mario Maker. I'd like to make that possible. I plan on adding more enemies, props, badges, and decoration tiles so you can customize your campaigns more. As you play it now you can see a bunch of the ones that are not done that are in the plans to be made.

To see the whole list of features, bugs, and ideas that I have come up with so far check it out the roadmap. It already has lots of new features planned including but not limited to:

• 40 Unique Enemies. ( Many of them already have art made for them. )
  
• 25 Different Interactable props.
  
• 75 Badges to power up your hero.

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“Pretty early. Lots of the base things needed to make a campaign are in place but I still have more menu work that's needed. There are lots of enemies, props, badges, and decoration tiles I'd like to make so you can customize your campaigns more.

This pixel art co-op Metroidvania-Maker game you can find power ups so you can Jump, Slash, Defeat and Loot enemies. This game plays as a 1-4 player side scrolling platformer and has a built in campaign editor. There are at least the following:

• 3 Unique Enemies.
  
• 2 Different Interactable props.
  
• 5 Badges to power up your hero.
  
• 10 Preview Tiles which are works in progress but unusable.

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“You will have to wait and see. There is no specific plans on the price point changing at this time however. This said the development of the game does not rely on funds generated by early access sales. This project is developed by one person as his passion project. It also should be noted that the price may change if I feel the additional features added to the game justify it's price being raised or lowered or based on market conditions.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“You better believe it! We have a discord channel where we can chat, in app you can suggest features or report bugs. Plus there will be the standard Steam community tab where you can post questions, share your campaigns etc.”
