Γιατί Πρόωρη πρόσβαση;

«Swords 'n Magic and Stuff is a huge game built by a small team. We chose Early Access because we believe in an open development style that includes implementing player feedback early and often. The game has been lovingly crafted for the last 5 years in front of a live Twitch audience, and we want to keep that development open to player ideas and feedback. While we don't plan on staying Early Access forever, we think it's a great way to let players experience the game and voice their opinions as we continue building new areas to explore, new items to discover and new challenges to overcome.»

Για περίπου πόσο καιρό θα είναι αυτό το παιχνίδι σε Πρόωρη πρόσβαση;

«Given our current plans for the game we anticipate the game to remain in Early Access for at least 1 more year. While we're actively working on the game, because it's a passion project, it's easy to continue to add more features, quests, items and secrets as we develop and we believe it's worth the prolonged development time.»

Σε τι θα διαφέρει η τελική έκδοση από την έκδοση Πρόωρης Πρόσβασης;

«When Swords 'n Magic launched in Early Access we believed we had a solid, yet lacking version of the title. But we had bigger dreams for the game and we've on expanding on every aspect as well as adding entirely new features to create the world it is now.

While our updates aren't always consistent, each update is massive in scale, sometimes introducing entirely new zones to the game doubling the amount of content it already had. Other times we release quality of life patches that polishes up features, adds new ones and fixes dozens of bugs.

The final vision of the game is a massive open world filled with hand-crafted content for you to explore. We plan to have hundred more items to collect, many more mounts to acquire and more player expression than you can shake a pointy stick at.

Our roadmap is publicly available and consistently updated throughout the development.»

Ποια είναι η τρέχουσα κατάσταση της έκδοσης Πρόωρης Πρόσβασης;

«The current state of the game is already far beyond what many finished games could ever hope to achieve. Many players have found a few hundred hours worth of content between questing, leveling classes, collecting rare weapons and mounts and perfecting their crafting professions. Others have several hundred and even some over 1,000 hours in the game spent building castles, decorating them and showing off entire museums of rare items they've been hoarding.

The current features include:

Four large open world zones to explore
One seasonal zone for our winter Frostfall event
Character creation system
Character customization
Melee, ranged and spellcasting combat
Dual wielding
Quests
Shops
Full multiplayer support
Player hosted listen servers
Dedicated servers
Weapon upgrade system

Το παιχνίδι θα έχει διαφορετική τιμή πριν και μετά την Πρόωρη πρόσβαση;

«We believe players are taking a leap of faith when purchasing a game in Early Access. We also understand that they'll be playing through some bugs and providing feedback in order to make the game better. Because of this, we get that our game is a bit of a gamble and that's why we're offering the game at a lower price than the final version. We plan on gradually increasing the price as we ship new content and features.»
