Kenapa harus Akses Dini?

“We're a duo working on this game. Neither one of us is an artist. We need artists to make the game look a bit more refined. For that we need funding. We have already invested some money to hire a freelance artist to design the model for the game's host "Askutron". But there's a lot more to do of course.

We don't have the resources or skills to make a fancy video for a kickstarter campaign. So we decided to make the game available on Early Access. As opposed to a kickstarter campaign with Early Access you get something in return right away: a perfectly playable, if a bit rough-looking, game at a reduced price. And we get funding. We think this is a fair way to help us improve the game's look and of course further support the development.

Apart from improving the looks we also are still working on improving the existing content, adding more questions, quiz modes and new exciting features. Exposing the game to a wider audience also allows us to find bugs, see how well the different modes work and see how our server infrastructure handles a realistic workload.”

Berapa lama game ini akan berada dalam Akses Dini?

“We're aiming for a full release in Summer 2018.”

Apa perbedaan antara versi penuh dan versi Akses Dini?

“Right now the game really is barebones with just the features we deemed essential to make it playable. But we have a long list of featues that we still want to add, for example:

• new and different game modes
  
• new game mechanics such as "power ups"
  
• more characters and buzzer sounds
  
• new questions and quizzes
  
• support for additional languages (the work on Russian has already begun)
  
• support for more than 8 players (PubQuiz mode)
  
• performance improvements
  
• improved visuals
  
• and much more

”

Apa status saat ini dari versi Akses Dini ini?

“The Early Access version might still occasionally produce minor bugs but is fully playable and already offers thousands of fully voiced questions for all supported languages, Steamwork Workshop support for creating and sharing custom quizzes, local multiplayer for up to 8 players, mobile "Buzzer" apps for iOS and Android and runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. The cross-platform online multiplayer mode is available but still experimental and therefore might not work.

In the first weeks you may still occasionally encounter wrongly categorized questions. Categories were only introduced after we already had thousands of questions. We're now working on retroactively sorting all questions into their appropriate categories. Due to the massive number of questions and limited number of hours in a day this is a still ongoing process.”

Apakah harga game akan berbeda selama dan setelah Akses Dini?

“Since the game will be extended with a lot of new content and features we plan on increasing the price after Early Access.”

Seperti apakah rencana untuk melibatkan Komunitas dalam proses pengembangan?

“We're actively monitoring our Steam community hub and are keen on any and all feedback from players. Also, we are looking forward to community-created quizzes on Steam Workshop!”
