早期アクセスにした理由

“Steam is an amazing platform to begin testing games during their development and iterate the game design. This is possible because Steam has the most amazing value that a game company can ask for: the best player community in the world.

The current experience of Battle Commanders offers a fun, mostly stable and polished game with the core features completed. As a company we believe that what makes a game great is its community. That's why we want you, our most esteemed supporters, to become an integral part of our development process by playing, testing and providing feedback on our game during its Early Access phase. With your input, we'll be able to elevate our game to its maximum potential with a better implemented game balance, more satisfying gameplay, additional content and improved optimization.”

“If all goes according to plan and with the support we receive from the community, we should be able to release the full version of Battle Commanders within 2018. We will know the game's ready for release when it works flawlessly across multiple regions across the globe to ensure each and every one of our players gets the best experience out of the game.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“Our main goal in Early Access is to find out what players would like to see more of. You will receive a solid foundation of what Battle Commanders is all about while we are finishing features that are currently under development and adding new skills, battlegrounds, classes, events and much more!

When the full version is launched, it will be a complete package of everything refined according to the tastes and preferences of our player base. So the big part of Early Access is finding out what players would like to see more of, but here’s some of what you can expect:

• Gameplay balance tuned to perfection
  
• An expanded set of skills and new expertise types
  
• New Battlegrounds
  
• Expansions and improvements to Meta Game
  
• More ways of atmospheric elements in style with additional visuals and aesthetics
  
• Dedicated servers in more regions
  
• Localization for these languages: French, Italian, German, Spanish, Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese-Brazil, Romanian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, Ukrainian
  
• A replay system

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“As it stands, the game is mostly stable and performs well enough to be played comfortably. Currently, we are working on balancing out the game features as well as adding more content to deliver a much more enjoyable experience while most of the core game mechanics are available in the Early Access version.

With that being said, bear in mind that you may still encounter some disembodied voices, teleporting heroes, or paralyzed NPCs. These are perfectly normal breakdowns on the current state of development and will be resolved shortly.

We would like to kindly ask you to take note of this and only start playing the Early Access version of Battle Commanders if you are cool with that. Our best interests lay in making this game as perfect as it can be and in order for us to achieve this goal, we need the most important asset a game developer can ever ask for; its community's trust and support during the early stages of their game's development.”

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“During the Early Access phase, the Battle Commanders community is kindly encouraged to post as much constructive feedback on Steam Community Hub as possible. Also, Early Access players are invited to opt-in for anonymous gameplay data collection, which is used directly to collect gameplay stats to assist with balancing.

Feedback and comments are incredibly important for the development process of Battle Commanders. We are extremely grateful for having such a passionate group of players and we make sure not to take it for granted.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you very much for your support and trust you have given us during this phase. We hope to see all of you commanders on the battlegrounds!”
