早期アクセスにした理由

“We are releasing our game via Early Access out of necessity rather than choice. Due to circumstances out of our control we were given a platform to show our game to a lot of people; we wanted to provide them with the chance to buy the game if they liked it and we didn’t want to have to cut a lot of content to do so.

This is also a great opportunity to get some more F R E S H feedback on our little game so we can tweak development while the project is still underway! So, if you have a fire burning in your loins that was set alight by the sultry passions of our juicy video game let us know! And probably let a doctor know too.

We would love to hear from anyone and everyone who plays the game so that we can know what we did right and, most importantly, know what we did wrong! So that we can learn from our mistakes. And move on. We’re not bitter about it.

It’s super important to us that everybody who plays the game has as much fun as we did making it; we’d love to hear from you!”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“Not too long! If things go according to plan, we should be able to release the full title in around three months!”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“The game isn’t quite as finished as we’d like it to be. We will continue to add more content to each level to help flesh them out and give them that fleshy feel that you like to feel. You know, the fleshiness. Rest assured, there’s plenty of flesh comin’ your way.

While most of the core content is in, there’s plenty of stuff we have left to do in terms of polish, balancing and general game feel. The first level, Neon Nights (rooftop bar), took several months and multiple iterative designs to get it looking and feeling the way we wanted. We don’t want to just spit out some half-finished levels to make it look like we have more content at face value, we want each level to feel fun and different! So that takes some time.

We will spend more time in Poseidon’s Getaway (yacht) & Lazer Lounge (nightclub) until they’re both as radical and neon-soaked as we know they need to be. We also need a little more time to balance everything. From the in-game economy to the damage those pesky enemies give and take, it could all use some of that tender loving that you know only we can give it.

P.S. don’t worry, there are no microtransactions, the only economy I’m talking about is the dosh you earn from each shift behind the bar.

TLDR; same game but feel more good and have more things.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“As previously mentioned, the core of the game is in so it is still very much playable. And enjoyable! It’s just not perfect and we are perfectionists. You can play all of our currently planned levels and use all of the overpowered guns in the extensive arsenal provided to you.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“Yes. As the game is not finished it will be cheaper to buy it now, we think that’s fair to you and us. If you want to support our development and purchase the game now for a reduced price, we love you! If you want to wait until the game is done and buy it for the full price, we love you! It should also be made clear that any updates to the game during the Early Access will obviously be free and those who purchased during Early Access will get all the updates up until it is fully released.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“As previously mentioned, we’d love to hear from each and every one of you. In fact we expect it. Don’t wait three days to call us, we don’t scare that easily. Whether it’s through the Steam Community Hub or through our very own community discord (coming S O O N™) we want YOU to come and talk to US. Tell us your hopes and dreams and we’ll tell you ours.”
