De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„I am very excited to introduce Simian Rising to a group of gamers with interests and tastes similar to mine!

Your input will determine the order in which new content is added and help make Simian Rising the best it can possibly be. The game in its current state is far from finished, but offers some real entertainment. I believe the next step is to get players involved.”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în Acces Timpuriu?

„Simian Rising will likely be in Early Access for a year before all currently planned features are implemented. Depending on your input, features may be added to that list, which would extend that amount of time.

I'll continue work on the project as long as there are players and great new ideas!”

Ce diferențe vor fi între versiunea completă, finală și cea aflată în Acces Timpuriu?

„The most immediate additions planned for Simian Rising are new weapon types, ship modules and ship types, and a smoother user interface.

I also plan to increase the power and intelligence of NPC enemies to the point that the more difficult worlds become pretty scary places for an extended stay. I'd like very much to boost the aesthetic of the game through improved artwork, music, and sound effects.

The end goal I would like Simian Rising to achieve is to allow players to explore the possibilities of life as an interdimensional UFO commander, in the same way that other games have made it possible to explore existence as a barbarian, soldier, or cyborg.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în Acces Timpuriu?

„Everything highlighted in the "Current Features" section of this page is available and tested for stability and functionality. The most important features already in place are:

• Procedural generation of many, many worlds.
• A portal management system that allows you to move directly between worlds, at will.
• Marching cube voxel terrain that can be mined by the player to collect resources or reach underground objectives.
• A ship modification system that allows you to add, remove, and configure over 20 types of modules.
• NPC enemy AI and combat mechanics.
• A well refined camera system that allows you to switch between first and third person perspectives.
• Resource storage systems and a resource based ship repair system.

Va avea jocul aflat în Acces Timpuriu un preț diferit față de versiunea finală?

„The price of Simian Rising will increase slightly as content and features are added.

At the moment cloud based multiplayer is in testing, but not available to the public. If this is made available to everyone in its current form, server costs would dictate a considerable price increase.”

Cum dorești să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„Main avenues of communication will be the Steam Community, the Simian Rising forums, and a publicly viewable Trello board.

This is something I'm excited about and take very seriously. Software and the development process is best when guided heavily by the majority opinion of its users. My intent is to continue developing Simian Rising based largely on the advice of the player community.”
