Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Early Access allows me to gain inspiration and input from people who appreciate a game I have crafted for their enjoyment. As I continue to enhance the gaming experience, I get the opportunity to discuss the world I've created and how I can expand its interest.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'Throughout the next year, I plan to release more content in the form of chapters that unfold the story and bring you deeper and deeper into the planet.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'Whereas the demo offers the first chapter, the full version will complete the narrative - offering more chapters and puzzles as well as a surprise ending.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'This version introduces the narrative, ending with a cliffhanger that the full version will expand. Players will find three puzzles to solve along with theatrical, experiential moments. With an intentional lack of instruction, the puzzles encourage you to use your intuition to figure them out. This first chapter is roughly 20–30 minutes of gameplay and must be played in a single session.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'The price will increase over time throughout the duration of Early Access as new chapters are released.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'There are two primary things I would love input from the community on:

Puzzles/mechanics
The puzzles should feel natural and challenging at times. It's an alien world, so some of the mechanics might intentionally feel counter intuitive to humans. I would love input on the specifics of the mechanics and the ability to maneuver through the game without instruction. I'm also interested in new ideas for puzzles that fit this alien world!

Play area
It's important that there is no locomotion. Everything must be solved in the bounds of your play area. I would love feedback on the variety of play spaces and proportions. I am also interested in how players solve the puzzles in the spaces and if they have any ideas about tweaking my spacing.

Look out for bi-weekly progress updates in the HOST Community Hub! I'll be responding to discussions there as well as creating prompts/new ideas to respond to.'
