Varför Early Access?

“While SojournVR has received excellent feedback from private testers, we wish to expand the coverage of the game. The foundation of our game has been finished, and as a result, we now need an expanding community to put strain on our systems for future development. In addition, we want to take this opportunity to develop alongside our players. The features and concepts we've worked on have only been our own ideas and to keep us on track with what the community really wants, we've decided to go with Early Access.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“The scheduled full release date is August 28th, 2018, however this may change based on features that users request and how long it takes us to implement the features we want in the game.

If this date changes at any time in the future, we will do an update post on it and update the store page.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The full release of SojournVR won't have any game-breaking bugs or glitches and will have a large map filled with a ton of content that can be played either on your own or with a group of friends (a party). There will also be lots of items and weapons that can be crafted. The game already contains a couple of quests for players to do own their own but the final release will have a ton more quests that can be done solo or done with a party. There are also a couple more skills that will be added to the game before release, including a merchant skill and an archery skill. These skills can be leveled like the other available skills.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Skills
Players have a set of skills which they can level up: mining, crafting, lumbering, and smelting to name a few. By leveling up these skills players can craft higher level items that aid them in quests and combat.

Combat
Players can fight enemies using several different types of weapons. Right now you can choose from daggers, long swords and two handed great swords. Archery is planned for a future update.

Gathering
Players can mine ore and cut down trees to obtain planks. These items can be used to create weapons or tools that the player can use to gather more efficiently.

Crafting
Currently users can craft weapons and tools to further their skill levels. Leveling up skills allows you to craft better gear.

Questing
First you must complete the Labistre Training Grounds quest. This quest will walk you through the crafting and combat in the game and will prepare you for the world to come. After this quest is complete, a ton of side quests will become available that you can complete solo or with a group of friends.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“At this time we don't believe the price will change on release, however we would like players to purchase the game in early access to help support the development of the game as much as possible. Players who purchase in early access will be given a couple of cool perks when the game launches. This will include skins for certain player items like the journal and the relic.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“The community is going be the most important part of this game - like most online RPGs. We wish to work hand-in-hand with the community before and after the Early Access period is over to decide which features should be removed/added to SojournVR. We will provided weekly updates/patches and communicate with the community on a daily basis about the development of the game.”
