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

'The Early Access version includes all core mechanics and features needed for the player to enjoy a relaxed sandbox survival game-play. We worked hard to deliver a great experience from day one and although the game is enjoyable already, we are constantly developing new features based on player feedback and suggestions.'

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

'Our way of saying “Thank you!” to the early and very patient supporters is by offering the game at a discounted price. The price of Escape the Pacific will increase slightly as the game gets closer to its release date.'

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

'We are proud to say that the community was involved from day one in the development process of the game. The community around Escape the Pacific is thriving on Discord where we talk to players daily, ask for feedback, discuss suggestions and run voting polls for everyone to vote for future features. The help from the community is essential for us to achieve our goals and to make a better, more stable game with less bugs. . We thank every single one of you and we welcome new members to join us on this exciting journey.

The more players vote on a certain feature, the higher the probability for us to change course and implement the requested feature first. Good things take time and while game development is fun, miracles don’t happen overnight.'
