Wozu Early Access?

„Tales from The Dancing Moon is an ambitious game developed by one developer, started during the COVID pandemic and created in a little home office in the UK.

Early-Access allows me to release the game in a “story-complete” state and further enables a relationship I wish to foster with a community of players. Direct feedback from players enables me to prioritise the parts that require a little more depth. This iteration loop will lead to what I will eventually consider to be a full game.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„My intention is to keep the game in Early Access for a few months (so not too long), but this can entirely be up to the feedback I get during the Early Access period!“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„During Early Access I aim to focus on stability and depth of the current features. This includes progressively adding more to the sandbox and customisation options, tying up loose ends on side-quests stories, and overall gameplay polish, bug-fixing and optimisation.

The end of the Early Access period should hopefully result in a full version that contains a polished game with a main story supported by a variety of side-quests and deep sandboxing features.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version is what I am calling “story-complete”. It contains the main quest and additional side quests that takes the player from start-game to end-game. It tells the story that I ultimately want to tell, but would benefit from a bit more love towards the sandbox gameplay and customisation features.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„The price should increase once I reach a full version, but will still reflect the price typical for an indie game of this style and content developed by a solo developer.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„I have reached a point where the improvements I’d like to make during the Early Access period will be tailored towards player feedback and suggestions. I would love this game to grow based on a community of players investing their time with the game!

I actively read feedback on various social channels and I host a Discord server for the game - the community of players can voice their opinions and feedback on what they would like to see!“
