Porquê Acesso Antecipado?

"As a punishment game, eCheese Zone requires a lot of feedback and playtesting -- both in person and remote. Yet it has been over 5 years since the first version of eCheese Zone was made, and it's time to release the game into the wild. Early Access will allow the community to engage with eCheese Zone, leave feedback, and help us patch-up weaknesses to make it the best game it can be!*

*No, the 1-hour punishment wait-timer is not being removed."

Aproximadamente durante quanto tempo vai este produto estar em Acesso Antecipado?

"We plan to have the final and complete version released by the end of 2024."

Qual vai ser a diferença entre a versão final e a versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"The early access version is about 1/3rd the length of the planned final version. Keep in mind that, on average, it took players between 15 and 20 hours to complete this version of eCheese Zone. But there are many more secrets to be uncovered within... eCheese Zone.

As we playtest and gather feedback, it's important to us to keep the game as purposefully driven as possible. With such a high punishment, it needs to be absolutely clear that the player is at fault for any mistake, and that there are no actual bugs or confusion. Because of this, while the content is generally complete and ready for action, we are taking the implementation process slowly to ensure it all comes together smoothly.

The core of the game will remain the same throughout the development. This includes current music, mini-games, and timers. Art may be modified to fit the theming better, instructions may be reworded to be clearer, and other changes may be made to increase quality of life."

Qual é o estado atual da versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"The current eCheese Zone feels like a complete game. It has a nice slick menu with options for play, it has a hand-full of mini-games, and if any player reaches the end, it contains clues and hints for the next section that will be added. Ultimately, this Early Access could be the game, but there's more that we want to explore and more eCheese to share!"

O jogo vai ter preços diferentes durante e depois do Acesso Antecipado?

"Outside of discounts, the game's price will not change greatly between Early Access and full release. The goal of Early Access for us is to share the current version of eCheese Zone with the community, and gather feedback on the game as we continue to develop further sections."

Como estão a planear incluir a comunidade durante o processo de desenvolvimento?

"Cliffy Cheese loves all his fans and he loves eCheese products too!

We plan to interact with the Community to learn how they feel about various features and content. Given that this is a punishing game, it is important to us to listen to feedback. We wouldn't complain about any Cliffy Cheese fan art either. (But no Rocco the Rat fan art please)."
