Чому дочасний доступ?

«I opted for the Early Access model due to the sandbox nature of Adliberum Engine and feel it would be a great opportunity to work closely with the community taking feedback and suggestions on board to greatly shape the engine and its future going forward.»

Приблизно, як довго ця програма буде у дочасному доступі?

«I estimate the game to be in Early Access for a good year or two to help cement already established foundations with a view to turning ADLENGINE into a formidable roleplaying engine.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«I will be exploring various additional features including a combat engine, dialogue system and more to help create more intricate experiences.

Focus will also be placed on making it as accessible as possible to as many players as possible, through the addition of speech synthesis and to hopefully allow it to work with screen readers and produce media of multiple types, such as text, audio and more; all customisable.

Throughout it's development I also aim to release base kits which will speed up creation within the adliberum engine, typically centered around themes such as Dystopian, Fantasy etc. These base kits will provide everything the player needs to get creating themed scenarios and games; the base kits will include pre-scripted objects, rooms, characters and more.

I want content to be easily sharable; which can be done by creating .verbose scripts which can be imported and run from within the engine.

My ultimate aim is an engine that allows you to take the text and render it in a multitude of ways through the development of mods: A few planned mods:

• CYOA (choose your own adventure)
  
• Dungeon Crawler ala Eye Of The Beholder

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«The Adliberum Engine is playable in both single player and multiplayer format and grants the user the ability to create scenarios and games that can be shared with others to play via the engine.

The engine is available default in British English / US English but has experimental language support for the following languages: The engine will detect your language on launch (if it can't detect it it will default to English)

• French / Français (.fr)
  
• Italian / Italiano (.it)
  
• German / Deutsche (.de)
  
• Spanish / Español (.es)
  
• Russian / Pусский (.ru)

Players can expect to:

create new map / edit map details
edit room details
delete / create new rooms
build / delete objects
set timed events
set command based events
set command variations i.e. silver door==door
set IF based events to establish events
navigate the map using n/e/s/w ne/nw/se/sw u/d
open / close, lock / unlock, take / drop, use, wear, equip objects
import game scripts (.verbose) try (import build box) then run build box OR call run build box from an event.

and more

All users can export the data (for sharing) into a single .adlengine file at any time using the dl command. If this file is named / renamed to game.adlengine and placed in the main folder it will automatically run at launch.

To change map: load mapname i.e. load dungeon»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна програми протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«During Early Access, ADLENGINE will be offered at a reduced price. It is intended that the price will increase in reflection of any new content and features that may have been added once it has left Early Access.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«I look forward to working closely with the community via Steam, Twitter, on our own forum (and facebook page) and amongst the communities / group/s to discuss the future of Adliberum Engine as it develops further in order to produce a powerful, user-friendly and accessible product that attracts a vibrant following new and old; in the roleplaying and interactive fiction scenes.»
