Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«We decided to launch in Early Access because, we want to give our players a chance to play our game before we finish adding all of the additional things we envisioned to include in the final version.
Additional time will also allow us to put more effort into implementation of new mechanics and it will give us an opportunity to add an On-Line Co-Op mode as well as some modding features that we would love our game to have. We want this game to live and grow long after the initial release.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«We expect that Early Access phase will take approximately two years. We hope that it is enough time to polish the game and make it a high quality sandbox. However the game in its current state already offers loads of functionalities and long playtime.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«In the final version we want to add many functionalities which were unlocked during our Kickstarter Campaign, including an Online Co-Op mode. You can also visit our special Roadmap Website where you can find a detailed breakdown of our plans.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?
