Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„I aim to develop an integrated set of levels that tells the story of how Agein Han moves through a world of her own making. I've developed 5 levels at the moment, that deliver the beginning and end of the story, but would like to get feedback from the community to keep developing this story and mechanical idea, while filling in the middle. I believe the best stories are told to people and with people, and hope through the process to deliver the best version of the game to bring my project through to completion.”

Mniej więcej jak długo gra będzie w fazie wczesnego dostępu?

„I have been developing the game for the past one year. Each level has taken a few months to go from idea to completion. The story premise now is solidified, and so I believe I will only need another year to complete it at the current pace, but hard to determine the artistic process of design.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„The full version will tell the whole story of Agein Han as she explores her virtual world, and comes to know how to escape back to reality. The current version has a basic version of that story arch played out over five levels. In the final version I will elaborate that tale, while further exploring the motivating philosophy of optimistic nihilism. I imagine this to take 12 levels, and add more references to the background. Thinking about my goals, and while "Full version" means different things for every product,, I hope to add these additional levels, and receive user feedback on a) the game mechanic and feel, and b) the concepts being wrestled with.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„Today, the user can buy five levels. Each level is made of world terrain, and intricate mazes. There also is an inventory and crafting system that adds to the drama in the game. Each level, and the goals are partially procedural generated, so they can be played more than once.”

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?

„I plan to release the game at a lower price, and raise the price to reflect additional content such as levels and story. Mostly I want to reward you if you provide feedback early on, and so want to keep the price to reflect what I see as a relationship between me and you as we develop this experience together. So definitely looking for feedback from the community.”

Jak zamierzacie włączyć społeczność w wasz proces tworzenia?

„Through the development process I will communicate to users through responding to reviews. I also am collecting user experience data through a user survey to better understand users interaction with the system. I will be developing that survey over time and really look forward to working with you all. The Community plays a crucial role in Early Access development and I see this as my chance to hear from users to shape Byte Chaser's development together.”
