Tại sao Truy cập sớm?

“I feel that working in public is very beneficial to me as a novice game maker. Seeing what sticks, resonates, or is hated by players has a big impact on my decisions. Reacting to feedback, reworking systems, and fixing bugs is a huge learning experience for me, and the game is better off for it.

Early Access is less beneficial to you, the player! This story-based game is incomplete in some places, outright broken in others, and is not polished enough in yet another ones. Your feedback is powerful at this stage, and sometimes I can't believe I didn't come up with ideas as good as community ones.

However, if you are looking for a complete experience and don’t want to participate in the community feedback, I advise you to wait until the full release — don’t worry, the game will be waiting for you.”

“I’m planning to finish the main story in about 12 months. I'll put quality before speed, and will take the time needed to make everything the best it can be.”

Phiên bản đầy đủ sẽ có sự khác biệt thế nào so với phiên bản truy cập sớm?

“Every detail of the game is open to feedback, from main character design to the little grunts sorcerers make on getting hit with a fireball. I will listen to the players and improve the game accordingly, along with writing new stories and making adventures to go on. Overall, the game is feature-ready, and has about a third of the content planned for the full version.”

Tình trạng hiện tại của phiên bản truy cập sớm là gì?

“Almost all of the planned mechanics are ready, including factory-building, fighting duels, talking to characters and completing quests, coping with stress, changing your character and decorating your house. There are usability and accessibility features, including dark mode, optional fixed camera, dyslexia friendly font and variable text size for conversations, and key rebinding.

Content-wise, this Early Access version includes Act 1 out of three, which contains 3 big adventures and a few smaller errands to complete. In total, that’s about 3–5 hours of gameplay. In the best RPG traditions, the quests are variable and the outcomes numerous, so the second playthrough might be quite different from the first.

There are certainly some bugs, typos and quest logic mistakes. The game features a robust saving system, makes permanent saves at important locations, and auto-saves your progress as you go, but please — do save often.”

“No, the price will stay the same.”

Bạn có kế hoạch tương tác với cộng đồng trong quá trình phát triển của mình như thế nào?

“I talk to the players through my , and I hope it will be a part of every-day development of the game. There are several roles there, depending on how involved you want to be: from “active feedbacker” and “patch notes enjoyer” to a passive “mac version awaiter”. You can also contact me privately through email, and I appreciate everyone doing so.

Inside the game, there is a special tool called Feedback Machine, which collects game info you can send me to inform me of bugs, typos, balancing issues, or just your thoughts in the specific moment of the game. It also has a few links to contact me, including Discord and email.

While I can’t make any promises, I will do my best to fix players' broken saves and fix bugs often. I hope to use Steam announcements to write patch notes with every update. I’m also planning to review feedback carefully, and adjust my plans based on it.”
