Wozu Early Access?

„Games take a long time to make. It also takes a long time to gain reputation as a developer. Releasing to early access means I can work on both at the same time.
If this game can generate revenue from sales, I can devote more time and money making this game better.
Having players and a community during development allows me to collect feedback on things I have missed or overlooked. This will make the game better.
This is a passion project. All decisions are made to make this game the best possible version of itself.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„The final release for this game will be roughly in March of 2025.
It is hard to set a specific date. I keep finding new ways to make things and improve this game.
Steam won't let me say “it is done when it is done”. So, I will say that I would like to finish in roughly March of 2025.
If the game gains more popularity, I will delay the expected finish date. The reason is so that I could make this game even better.
I like working on this thing and it could be a while.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Right now, it is your basic survival game experience.
What I have envisioned for the Full release is a fun experience that takes inspiration from multiple sources. I basically want to take my favourite features from all my favourite games and make something fun.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„As a single player experience it has come a long way from the original build.
A lot of the core mechanics are finished but it also still needs a lot more to be added.
It is currently a playable demo. But still needs a lot of work and polish.
It has the basic survival mechanics out of the way. Now it needs all the extra stuff I have planned that will bring it together as a game.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„This game will always remain at a low price. Affordable games are the foundation on which I am trying to build my company from.
There is likely to be some experimentation on the price during the early access. However, the aim will be to keep the cost to the player low.
It is about finding balance. I would like to generate enough income to work on this fulltime, but I also want the player to get plenty of value for their money spent.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„I work closely with my community. Any person who owns this game can comment in any of the forums or on any of the social apps and request changes or new features to the game.
I also spend a lot of time in private discussions with players. This is so that I can get their thoughts in a setting where they can be more open about their opinions.
I also like to watch as many Twitch streams and YouTube videos as possible. This is so that I can watch people’s unfiltered reactions during gameplay.“
