早期アクセスにした理由

“Shadows of Doubt has been in development for many years, so we didn’t take the decision to launch into Early Access lightly. Being open and transparent, we’ve had a lot of serious discussions about how and when to launch the game. Given the massive scope of the game and the nature of its AI systems, launching in Early Access first allows us to identify any unusual edge case issues that may be discovered and react to them during a non-final version of the game, rather than have players discover them in what is considered to be a ‘final’ release. We’ll also be adding additional content, along with further technical optimisations and balancing improvements that player feedback will help us shape.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The game is in a very advanced state of development and functionally complete with a full suite of features, cases, content and a complete Sandbox Mode, beyond what you may usually expect from an Early Access title.

However, given the massive scope of the game and nature of its systems, we expect some bugs and unusual edge cases to be encountered for the first time at the launch of Early Access. Launching in Early Access allows us to identify any of these unusual issues and react to them, rather than have players discover them in what is considered to be a ‘final’ release.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“The game may be priced differently for the 1.0 release depending on development updates throughout Early Access.”

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？

“We’d love to get as much feedback from the community as possible to help shape the continued development of the game. We encourage everyone who would like to be part of the game’s community to join our Discord and leave their thoughts in the Steam forums. Receiving critical and constructive feedback from players during active development will really help us as we work towards full launch.”
