Varför Early Access?

“Adventure Land is at a sweet spot in its development journey. Most of the major challenges have been tackled and lately all the feedback has been positive. I believe and hope early adopters will enjoy the game, and at the same time, the game will benefit from a growing community.

I've been working on Adventure Land for more than 5 years, up to this point, I concentrated mainly on the technology and the feature set. There's still a long road ahead. There are a lot of maps, monsters, bosses ready to be introduced. There are items to design and integrate.

As the game isn't complete, but playable and hopefully enjoyable, Early Access is the way to go. We're finally ready for the last sprint.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Hoping for 6 months but realistically more”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“Here are the objectives I'm aiming to achieve:

• Rich Content
  
• Daily Engagements
  
• Engagements that Bring Players Together
  
• Fully Documented CODE with a Tutorial

”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Price can fluctuate but it won't dramatically increase or decrease, it's safe to expect a fluctuation around 30% of the current price. Admittedly, pricing the game against multiple currencies is a challenge.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We have a Discord with #feedback and #new_ideas channels. I reply to each and every email, take each request into consideration, reply to every GitHub issue. The main challenge for me as a developer is introducing new content without creating balance issues. I intend to create a public group of people within the Discord community called Refiners, there'll be strict rules, the process will be transparent, fair, and Refiners will take ideas from #new_ideas, and convert them into #refined_ideas.”
