Wozu Early Access?

„We are Hard Shark Games, a dynamic game studio creating intense and immersive experiences across action, RPG, and beyond. Dive into our world of hardcore gaming excellence! We are creating Slashvival with the help of occasional collaborations, but I’m carrying the burden of the whole game alone. This is why I prefer to publish the game on Early Access.

The game currently features 1 weapon, 1 world, 3 enemies and very basic mechanics (move, roll, attack, inventory, shop). The goal is to expand this to have at least 3 different weapons, 2-3 worlds, 10 enemies and more mechanics (crafting system and leaderboards). And overall, improve the game experience thanks to the community's feedback!“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„Slashvival is a new project based on a dream we had when we were little. We have managed to secure a vertical slice demo version, but is no where near it's end result. For this reason, we think the game will be in Early Access for about 10-12 months approximately.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„There is still a lot of work to do. The world of Slashvival consists for now of 1 world with multiple options you can do in it, like fight enemies, buy from the store or gather resources. The idea is to amplify the game to have more content and more mechanics. We'll add new things with upcoming updates.

The number of weapons is an important feature for the updates to have at least 3 (including bow and arrow). New worlds will be added (2-3). Furthermore, more enemies will be added which have different attacks and types (spider, bee, wolf, etc.). Also more mechanics inside the game like a crafting system and leaderboards. And maybe new characters from different races. To sum it up, we believe in the engagement of the community to make Slashvival possible.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The current state of the EA version is:

• Basic mechanics (run, dash, attack, etc.)
  
• 1 weapon
  
• 1 area to explore
  
• Shop to buy upgrades
  
• 3 enemy types
  
• Inventory
  
• Food, enemy and resources spawns (procedurally)

“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„We want to reward the players that believed and supported Slashvival from the beginning, so the game will have a lower price on the first stages of Early Access. The full release version will have a higher price.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„As we said before, we want to involve the community in the development process from the beginning. This means feedback, balancing, new weapon proposals, items, enemy suggestions, and so on!
