Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« Death Trash is a complex game made by a small team. It has been in development for six years before entering Early Access. We have concrete design and content goals but we need player feedback to see where these work out, where not and where the game needs to be improved. Early Access is the best way to make Death Trash the best it can be. »

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

« We plan to finish the game in 2025.
This is later than we initially hoped for and is due to the development being more complex than expected.
We have a good grasp on the complexities now and are confident that the game can be finished in due time. If it turns out to be necessary though to take more time to achieve the quality we want, then we'll take that time. »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The final game will feature an open world with a handcrafted story campaign. Early Access will start with only the first "chapter" of that, then gradually add more story parts and locations, and keep the final part of the story for the official release. We'll probably also add more content to the existing locations over time, too, including items, characters and new quests.

Base gameplay features like combat, stealth, multiple choice dialogue, and crafting are implemented already, but we'll continue fine-tuning them, adding more gameplay options and improving their integration with the character stats system.

We plan to continue working on the game after the official 1.0 release, fixing bugs and improving usability. »

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

« Although a lot of gameplay systems are implemented already, the story campaign is not fully included yet and the playable locations and quests only amount to a few hours of playtime. The existing systems might also have bugs, and lack options and progression.
The game features replayability through story and gameplay choices, but if "many hours of gameplay" is an important metric to you, you should wait until this game is finished.

The splitscreen co-op is implemented in the Early Access version as a very basic variant and will likely need a lot more feedback and design iterations. »

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

« The game will not be priced differently when leaving Early Access. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« We are planning to improve all systems of the game through player feedback. These include ranged and melee combat, stealth, character builds through stats and abilities, crafting and more. We're open to story, quest and NPC suggestions too, but will naturally keep tighter control on that to keep a consistent tone.

Players will be able to tell us any kind of feedback and ideas through the Steam Forums, the official Death Trash Discord, Twitter, and Facebook. There's also a simple bug reporting tool in the game itself. »
