Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“The game is functionally complete and in an enjoyable and stable state. Yet we chose to label it as "early access" because we are extending the game's content with feedback from the community.

The game already contains 5 very different procedural world types; 12+ randomized themes; 100+ unique enemies and traps and a plethora of mechanics. It has been quality tested across hundreds of players at trade shows (like PAX Australia) and local developer meetups (such as IGDA Melbourne). Audio and animations are being polished further.

Your progress in early access builds will give you various bonuses for the full release (such as the current system of unlocking world shortcuts, equipment, backgrounds etc.)
We want you to be part of the game's evolution; whilst engaging you with a thrilling and challenging experience.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“Getting the game now; entitles you to all future updates and a reduced price. Aura of Worlds has been in development since 2013 and has been continually refined from player feedback. The game is in a stable state with over 100 enemies and traps, 5 procedural worlds, 12+ level themes and more.

NOTE: Be advised with controller support options: That the prompts are specifically for XBOX and XBOX 360 controls. Other controllers may work, but will require rebinding in the Pause->Options->Controls->Advanced->Gamepad menu.

Default gamepad controls support 360 degree aiming so are slightly different to other platformers with this feature (e.g. triggers for use items); but are rebindable.

The game has undergone many changes since launching; including:

• Weapons are drawn on all humanoid characters
  
• Several new abilities.
  
• New enemies, traps and runes
  
• A lot of rebalancing, bug fixes and optimization to support lower end systems
  
• Updated graphics, sound, animations and mechanics
  
• A new system of permanent progression and unlockables.
  
• A new engine with support for Mac and Linux
  
• Entirely new 4th and 5th procedural worlds: Cold Crust Caverns and Mantle's Edge.

Content is still being added and feedback is welcome 😊.”
