Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Prosperity is a very ambitious game in terms of mechanics. In fact, it's easy to go overboard with complexity, because we are the types of people who love large complex games with lots of depth and layers upon layers of interactions and interdependence. Therefore, it is even more important to us that we get a variety of feedback from different folks with different backgrounds to point out that something is confusing, or something is tedious. Too often we are so deep in designing a mechanism just right that we forget the bigger picture, and that's where you, the Early Access players, come in to smack some sense into us.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We plan on releasing the game when it meets our standards for a full game. That means all of the upgrades are implemented and tested, the main story-line is scripted, all the core mechanics are implemented and balanced (although we expect to need to make tweaks down the line).'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The full version will include the conclusion of the storylines, more cohesive and complete upgrades, less bugs, and in general a more enjoyable experience. We plan on adding some new mechanics to better run the city, social policies to help execute the player's strategy, and new automation capabilities to help with management. Throughout early access we expect to continue updating the game, which means there's always a chance that an older save file could become incompatible. In the full version, we will be doing extensive testing to make sure save files are properly migrated as the game updates.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The game is playable right now. Players can progress from a camp to a city using everything that is implemented in the game. However, since this is early access, a number of impediments, buffs, events, and content are not yet implemented, leading to a play time that is quite a bit shorter than one would expect from an incremental game. Balancing the game will take time.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'No plans on changing the price after Early Access. However, we may sell expansions and DLCs further down the line.'
