Why Early Access?

“Since the "Qian-Shan Village" is an eastern horror game, we want to make sure the gameplay is engaging and acceptable for the players around the world. We do need to receive feedback from communities in the developing stage to ensure the wonderful game experience. That is why we provide the early access version of this game to connect with players in the developing stage.

As for this early access version, it contains parts of story of the "Qian-Shan Village". In the next few months, we will keep developing and add/update contents for our players to have fun. We want to invite more friends who like this game to join us in the developing stage. Wish you would like this game, and give us more feedback.

Thanks for kindly testing out this game and giving us suggestions to improve the game experience. We will try our best to make an awesome VR experience for all our supporter, audiences, and players.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly speaking, that would be 1 year. But, we will keep updating current content irregularly.
And, add new contents every 3~4 months to lower player's waiting time.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the current early access version, it only contains the prologue of this game. That would provide 1~1.5 hour game experience roughly.

In the next few months, we will start to add/update the following features. After finish that, we will release the full version.

Features:

1. Add more narrative contents in this early access version.

We will provide new contents, that would be 1.5~2 hours extra experience at least.
The content would include the Qing-Zombies, evil monks, and different kinds of enemies. Also,
we will provide more fantastic spells and puzzles for players to have fun.

Especially, in order to pay respect to the Hong Kong classic horror movie, Mr. Vampire, 1985,
we will add some interesting gameplay for the movie's fans to have fun with us.

We want to bring all of our players to experience the mysterious world of eastern zombies, and
kung-fu of Taoist. Hope you would like it!

2. Polish the animations, audios, scenes , and bosses.

3. Optimize the performance of the current version.
(Including everything from sound to physics to rendering.)

4. Provide more details (or effect) of interactive objects to further increase the immersive
experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We had implemented the features shown in the "About This Game", and addressed the "the start of journey" to the players. For this early access version, you may have 1~1.5 hours game experience. And, in the next few months, we will keep developing, optimizing the current content, and add the more new features/contents for our players to have fun.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The Price would be updated according to the amount of new content that we add in this game.
So, for our early supporters, you could pay cheap price to get the overall contents.

(That means, when we officially release the full version, that would be more expensive than the price we given in the early stage.)”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We would like to see all community feedback. With community's feedback, we hope to get the comment on difficulty of levels, reporting issues or even help with creating new content. So, friends please feel free to send us any suggestions that you would like to see in the future version of the game, or to report bug for us in the community. We will try our best to fix problems, and provide the best experience to you.
