Varför Early Access?

“As a solo developer, it is paramount that projects have strong support from their user-base. Therefore, since its inception, my hope for Adapt has been to have players be as involved as possible with the long-term development of the game through both feedback regarding live features and in evaluating potential future content and game mechanics. Because of this focus on continued user involvement, Early Access is a powerful tool for creating and maintaining community participation.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“The current expectation for Adapt’s Early Access duration is 1 - 2 years until full release from the Steam Early Access launch date.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“Because many of the game‘s core mechanics are already in place, most of Adapt’s future development will be centered around three main avenues: the addition of supporting mechanics (map, weather, and event progression, additional abilities, etc...), content (species parts, new adaptations, plantlife, terrain features, etc…), and, the ‘less illustrious’, ongoing stability and performance improvements.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The primary focus of Adapt’s development thus far has been securing the foundations of the game, as well as the aesthetic and “feel” of the world. As a result, at initial pre-alpha launch, the game will likely feel a bit easy, and a bit unregulated for most players. Major environmental shifts, events, tutorial mechanics and stats are all important upcoming features designed to enrich Adapt’s play, and create a more story-driven game experience; but have intentionally not been fully implemented prior to early access launch to prioritize refinement of the foundational elements of the game.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“The pricing at launch for Adapt is reflective of the game’s incomplete status. The final price of the game will be re-assessed and ultimately determined based on the state of the game at full release.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“User feedback and engagement are paramount to the future of Adapt. Both early access, and interested full release players are encouraged to take part in Adapt’s pre-alpha community. All feedback, ideas, bug reports, and inquiries can be directed to one of Adapt’s primary development portals. I keep personal tabs on these tools, and work as directly as possible with the game’s supporters.”
