De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„The game itself is a procedural platform that supports random generation of exploration areas, monsters, and equipment. The desire for early release stems from a need to get customer input on future content, and to demo our Realm Foundry VR Engine. Even at this early stage Fadeholm is a fun, fully playable, engaging experience. Getting this in front of customers sooner allows us to get feedback earlier while still providing a viable product at all stages.”

Cum dorești să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„Our game engine, RealmFoundry, enables us to quickly implement new content and adjust game difficulty. We are looking forward to community input to help steer the direction of the game. Anything from new monsters, traps, spells, new regions to explore, to new game mechanics. It is all on the table!

Our platform supports more than the basic dungeon crawl, and hopefully with enough interest we can take it to a multiplayer (think dungeon party) game with outdoor and town encounters.”
