¿Por qué Acceso anticipado?

“Everyone who tries VR says the same thing: This is so amazing! I wish there were a game that did ____." We decided that day that we had a story to tell, and VR was the right medium to realize our vision.

We worked to make Sellsword VR the kind of Action RPG that we always wanted to play that first day - a great melee combat experience with quality visuals, a compelling story, and tons of great content to explore. Early access gives us a chance to open the game up to others, get feedback on our creation, and continue refining our gameplay and level designs to match what our players want and enjoy.”

¿Cuánto tiempo va a estar este juego en Acceso anticipado aproximadamente?

“We're a small family studio - we all work full time jobs during the day, developing Sellsword VR in our spare time. We anticipate the game being in Early Access for several months as we complete Story Mode and continually add content.

With enough Early Access support, we hope to move into full-time development and significantly reduce completion time.”

¿Qué tan diferente será la versión completa de la versión de Acceso anticipado?

“Want to know what's coming soon? Check out the http://steamcommunity.com/app/676460/discussions/2/1520386297687281158/Forums.

We plan to release the story episodically, which will in turn unlock new items, weapons, job classes, abilities, missions, and gameplay mechanics in both game modes as players explore the new content. We won't be charging our players per episode - we hate having it done to us, too!

The full release version will contain the complete story. Players will have access to mission content as they unlock locations in the story.”

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de Acceso anticipado?

“Melee combat in the game is fun and challenging, and the game's environment is fully interactive. Flammable objects catch fire, jars break, and smaller objects can be thrown at enemies to damage them. Enemy animations are dynamic - they react to player movements and attacks! The result is a satisfying and immersive combat experience that's a blast to play. You can literally trip an enemy, or hit one so hard it flies across the room, smashing and breaking a bunch of stuff in the process!

Game Content

Initially, players will only have access to MISSION MODE, the "quick play" version of the game. This will limit the number of available missions until the first STORY MODE update drops. However - Gold, XP, and items found / purchased will carry over...so if you like to grind, GRIND...you'll have money to burn when we drop in shiny new equipment (once the shop is open). If you like to explore, EXPLORE...there are secrets everywhere!

Job Classes

The current version of the game includes 1 of the 5 planned character classes. Each level you gain awards you Job Points, which you can use to customize your character's stats and abilities in that class. Don't worry - we thought ahead and developed a versioned and upgradeable save file system , so there should be no need for character wipes as development progresses.

Items

The shop will open in our first content update. We plan to add shields, accessories, and consumable items in the next few weeks.

Music & Sound

The soundtrack for the game is not yet complete. Players will have only ambient sound in missions at first. This is pretty normal for most VR games, but we envisioned Sellsword VR to have a full soundtrack, similar to other games in the genre that aren't VR.”

¿El precio del juego será diferente durante y después del Acceso anticipado?

“Yes. We play a lot of Early Access titles ourselves - and believe that players should be rewarded for helping in its development with a lower cost of entry. You stuck by us and helped make the game what it is - you should pay less for joining us earlier. Once you buy Sellsword VR, you're buying the WHOLE GAME, and we hope you'll talk to us about what you love and hate about playing it.”

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

“We have an active forum on our website as well as here on Steam, which will allow us to interact with players and fans. We want to hear about players' experiences in Sellsword VR, and incorporate their likes, dislikes, and ideas into the game.”
