Neden Erken Erişim?

"We're trying to do something in this genre which is currently unproven by placing several mechanics usually associated with survival games on top of a Bullet Heaven/Survivors-like. It's a bit of an experiment for us and the best way we can gauge whether the game we're making is fun is to involve the community, be open to feedback, and iterate on some of the existing ideas that we think are very appealing."

Bu oyun ne kadar süre için Erken Erişim'de olacak?

"We have provisioned for a minimum of five months in Early Access to implement a host of additional enemies, abilities, weapon types, and story elements that complement our existing systems to give players a unique experience every time they jump back in."

Erken Erişim versiyonunun tam versiyonundan ne kadar farklı olması planlanıyor?

"The full version will contain more of everything - weapons, enemies, abilities, upgrades - and will include a meta-progression system to allow the player to increase their stats between runs. There will also be an ongoing narrative that will be unveiled piece by piece as the player progresses through the game."

Erken Erişim sürümünün şu anki durumu nedir?

"When the Light Dies will launch into Early Access with a full tutorial, one playable character, four weapons, a variety of enemy types, a special end of run boss, seven active abilities, over fifteen passive abilities, and a range of consumable items (food, alcohol, books, lantern oil). We plan to add more content to each of these areas throughout early access so that every run will feel different.

In addition to the content above, we have some interesting gameplay systems that we have not seen before in this genre, including several survival meters to manage (stamina, temperature, sanity) and a light/dark mechanic that, if neglected, buffs enemies while weakening the player."

Erken Erişim sırasında ve sonrasında oyunun fiyatı değişecek mi?

"It is unlikely that we will raise the price after Early Access, but if this changes, it will be communicated way ahead of time."

We’ll also be actively monitoring player sentiment across other platforms, including YouTube comments and social media posts. Ultimately we want your thoughts and feedback to help us to shape When the Light Dies to make it the best that it can be!

We hope to provide a transparent roadmap that players can look forward to as we progress through Early Access."
