Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„We want to enable our community to join early in the development of our upcoming new simulation, The Bus, to ensure a great and satisfying experience on its final and official release. So, you can already play and follow the ongoing development hands-on.”

Mniej więcej jak długo gra będzie w fazie wczesnego dostępu?

„The Bus will go through different phases which will add more features, content and polishment until it is ready for release. This will probably take roughly 8 to 16 months of iterations and development.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„The release version of The Bus will contain the bus lines TXL, 100, 200 and 245 and multiple variants of busses from various brands.

In-game Editors will enable you to create and edit bus lines, routes, tours and more.

Modding tools based on Unreal Engine 4 Game Editor will be available for content creators to share their mods via Steam Workshop.

Freeplay and Economy game modes will be available in Singleplayer and Multiplayer.

Freeplay mode will enable you to drive each of the bus lines at any time of the year with the vehicle of your choice. Including passenger transport with ticket sale and validation check.

Economy mode will enable you to create your own bus company. Buy vehicles and hire staff. Maintain and repair the vehicles of your fleet. And generate income via ticket sales.

Basically, you will probably get the full and complete game at the very end of the Early Access before the Gold Master of The Bus goes into production for retail shipping.”
