Чому дочасний доступ?

«As an indie developer, having never before released a game to such a massive audience, I feel it is best policy to release as early access to let the interested players help me out to create the most enjoyable and most stable game possible.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«Ventura Inc is probably going to need at least around half a year more development to get it to a state where it has all the capabilities I currently have planned for. Depending on feedback of players this is subject to change of course.»

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

«Currently you'll find that the gameworld has a map of europe with 1 city that can be played in.
Players can conduct their business in that city. And there are currently many industry branches already implemented.

However, for the game to be ready for release i want at least around 10 cities. And, connecting those cities will also require 2 branches, that are currently in the works, but not yet in. (Because they're not needed with the 1 city). Both shipping and airlines. Basically transportation that happens between these cities.

I'm also planning to make it possible to buy and sell company shares of other players. Possibly even allow taking over someone elses company.

Currently also animations in the game are very rare. So i want to make sure that there will be planes flying, cars , trucks, busses, etc in the full release version of the game.

I also want a Steam leaderboard implemented.

Possibly i'll also work on AI to run their own companies as competition of regular players.

Nothing set in stone however, and more idea's or suggestions are welcomed and possibly implemented.»

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

«Pricing is likely to remain similar after release.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«I will provide a forum (http://ventura-inc.com/forums/forum/ventura-inc/) where people can discuss anything related to the game as well as make suggestions.
I will also take into account the feedback players give when making decisions in the development process.
I will also be playing the game myself, people will be able to speak to me there.
Anyone can always contact me using the mail provided for support.»
