Wozu Early Access?

„Early access allows me to get the game to players as soon as possible too and helps to build a community to which I can obtain feedback and make the game even better. This will include improving and adding to released episodes as well as upcoming in-development episodes.
As a solo developer, it can be difficult to know the right solution to a problem so by letting people play the game in an early stage, I can collaborate with the core fans to build the game to be as good as it can be.“

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

„Hellscreen will come out of early access once all three episodes are finished.
In terms of how long each episode will take to finish is hard to say at the moment but I expect the following:

Episode 1 - March 2023
Episode 2 - Early 2024
Episode 3 - mid-to-late 2024 - Out of Early Access

There will be quality of life and community suggestions implemented between the episodes however.“

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

„The full version of the game will contain 3 episodes, difficulty & accessibility options as well as full controller support & localization. Steam deck support will also be included.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version contains Episode 1, consisting of 5 weapons, 9 enemies, and many soul cores to collect across 9 maps.“

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

„During Early Access. Hellscreen will be cheaper throughout development but the price will go up once Episode 3 is complete and released.
It's best to buy early, shape the future of the game and save money!“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„During Early access, I will be inviting and encouraging players to give feedback on the steam forums, on Twitter, and on the Hellscreen discord, of which I have a dedicated feedback channel.
This feedback will be looked at and will have an effect on the process of development throughout.“
