Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« We are a three-person development team, and KitHack is a very big project.

Manpower is our most precious and limited resource. At any given time, there’s an infinite number of things we could be focusing on. We need help from our players now, to make sure we are making the best of our available time and effort.

Should we add more parts? New Missions? Do we expand the map, or focus on Multiplayer features? The array of possibilities is vast, so an Early Access Community is essential to ensure that we are putting our very limited manpower towards the best possible use every day.

Our intention has always been for the game to really be a platform, which developers and community creators can build on for a very long time. The foundations for KitHack are already very stable, and we feel that all the essentials are in place for this next phase, where we can put all our efforts into making meaningful updates with the help of our community. »

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

« We are expecting KitHack Model Club to be in Early Access until August 2024. »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« During Early Access we want to work as closely as possible with the Community to decide on what we should put into the game next. By the 1.0 release, we plan to explore a variety of QOL updates to improve the experience, alternate vehicle parts, additional missions, expanded control systems and more, all while taking suggestions from you. »

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The game is eminently playable now, with weekly multiplayer playtests taking place where we build vehicles from scratch and tackle the game’s multiplayer missions. While there is the occasional gremlin, the overall experience is very smooth and stable.

The in-game scenario editor tool is also included and fully functional. It is, however, more of a work in progress than most other areas of the game.

Needless to say, you should be ready to encounter the occasional bug or missing feature here and there. If you do, all we ask is that you let us know directly. We can always be reached through the official Discord, and we’re always willing to listen to your feedback and offer help. »

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

« No, the price will remain the same. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« An Early Access launch will open the ability for players to help carve out the path of the game as we look ahead to a 1.0 release. During this time, our goal is to create a friendly and reactive environment where you, the community, can inform us on the most important improvements and iterations you'd like to see. You’ll be able to find more about how this will work, the scheduled progression of the game and the road to 1.0 in the Content Roadmap section below.

With that being said, we would love for the community to join our Discord channel, share their playing experience and provide their feedback on what is going well and what needs our attention. They should also cast their vote for what features we should be adding before we reach 1.0 when we launch future content polls.

We also encourage everyone to tweak and tinker with the game itself. KitHack was designed from the very start to be as open to modding as we could make it, and we are really excited to see what the community comes up with. Feel free to come talk to us over on Discord about anything related to modding.

Please see our content roadmap below to see where the Community will be able to contribute:

• Phase #1 - Launch into Early Access
  
• Phase #2 - Bug fixing and QOL updates
  
• Phase #3 - Community priority features (We will put up a poll asking players to help us prioritize which features we should focus on ahead of 1.0 - ranging from parts and missions to multiplayer and optimization).
  
• Phase #4 - August 1.0 launch
