Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“The game is finally in a state where I'm comfortable making it publicly available, but I have quite a bit more that I would like to accomplish before calling Kaz Ball full release worthy. Early Access will provide valuable feedback, and play an important role in the design decisions that I make as I move towards the finish line. With the community's support I'm confident that choosing Early Access will make this a better game.

Also, I gotta get my wife off my back.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“There's a lot on my plate as the sole developer, so I estimate several months to a year before I've implemented everything that I would like for the first real release.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“By the time the game exits Early Access, I plan for the game to feature several more ships that have their own weapons, skills, weaknesses, strengths, and customization options. There are also plans to have at least two fleshed out game modes, a few different maps, and a robust system for tournament / league play.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“As I write this, there is a single open-space map where players freely fly and play the game. There are a handful of ships models, but they all have the same statistics. There is a Persistent Playtest server that is always up and is populated with bots that will drop in and out as player join and leave. There is also a basic regional matchmaking system that will spin up dedicated servers as players enter the queue for PvP or bots.”

Ændrer spillets pris sig under og efter tidlig adgang?

“It really depends on the success of the Early Access program, but I feel that the content added over the Early Access lifetime will warrant at least a small increase in price.”

Hvordan har I tænkt jer at involvere fællesskabet i jeres udviklingsproces?

“The community is always welcome to view our Public Issue Tracker to see what is in the backlog, and what's currently being worked on. Players are more than welcome to post bugs, feature requests, and generally engage in the development process of Kaz Ball.

We also have a where I'm situated more hours of the day than my wife likes.”
