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

“The full version of Tommyknockers will contain major improvements and additional content including:

• Polished gameplay
  
• A total graphical overhaul to ensure all game elements share a common art theme
  
• Dynamic and random gameplay map’ generation to ensure no playthrough ever feels quite the same
  
• Enhanced gameplay curve where there are unlockable tunnels and the overall game showcases more features, rewards, etc.
  ● Narrated / animated introduction tutorial
  ● Revamp start of game character narration with professional voice actor
  ● General Store
  ● Overhaul the in-game upgrade system
  ● Integrate Steam Achievements
  
  We also hope to include support for VR. An in-house version for the Oculus/Samsung Gear VR is already implemented and working, we just need to adapt it to non-mobile VR setups that can fully utilize the high-end graphics that are possible for total VR immersion. And yes, it's pretty damn creepy.

“The core game loop for Tommyknockers is fully implemented with 7 nights (i.e. levels) implemented that can be played from start to finish. Throughout the night AI driven enemies (the Tommyknockers) attempt to steal back their gold while you must attempt to protect it by throwing rocks to scare them away while utilizing bear traps to protect both yourself and the gold you find during the night!”

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

“We are launching both a Facebook page for the game and a weekly development blog on our company website. One of our primary objectives for launching the game on Early Access is to gather in depth community feedback on the current state of the game, and use that data to refine and improve gameplay, pacing, and elements of fun. Our goal is to reach out to as many people in the community as we can to gather feedback and help build excitement about the game.

We have extensive plans to tap into the support of our local community in Summit County, CO before and after the launch of Tommyknockers. Our plan is to partner with our local community newspaper, the Summit Daily News, and do an interview about the upcoming game launch, highlighting who we are as developers and members of the community - along with info on the game and instructions on how to purchase or donate towards future development.”
