Varför Early Access?

“The game is created as part of a study project, which is created within a limited period of time. The end of this period also sets the release date. Since it is not possible to implement the game to the desired extent by this time, the core gameplay will be available and all further content will be added afterwards. A positive side effect is that the game can develop with the feedback of the players and their wishes and suggestions are incorporated in updates.”

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

“This can not be said at the moment, as it depends heavily on how many additional features are stimulated by the community. We plan with three to six months. But the whole thing can take longer.”

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

“All features that are implemented to release the Early Access version in the game should work correctly, even if it means that other features will be added step by step. For this we have created a priority list, which looks roughly like this:

1. All functions of the laboratory should work and new substances can be created
2. The marketplace for the purchase of basic materials with dynamic price changes
3. Tile based map of your own neighborhood where substances can be dealt
4. Tile based hideout place, which can be furnished with furniture and objects
5. NPC's that move in hiding places and can automatically mix substances
6. Tech Tree which enables research into new devices and NPC functions
7. Other bosses who attack your neighborhood, but you can attack their neighborhoods too

Points 1 to 3 will definitely be available at the release of the Early Access version. All unimplemented features will follow step by step in updates until the full version.”

“The price will be raised slightly once the game is completed. Currently we have not made a plan for this.”
