De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„Broke Protocol is a huge undertaking. In terms of scope, size, content - the final vision is something that is just massive in scale. And the best way to ensure cohesion in such a large game is to get feedback from the community as we make incremental progress.

Early Access provides the best opportunity for the community to have a hand in directing development. We will listen closely to player suggestions to give out users what they want. In this way, we can provide the best city life role-playing experience on the market.”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în Acces Timpuriu?

„2021 Edit: Broke Protocol is still a work-in-progress but is now fully playable with much of the planned features and extras already implemented. Modding, World Builder, Customizable Jobs, Garages, Weapon attachments, Apps, and more have been released. Currently working on Apartment raids and a better governance system.

Early Access will be exited after some more polish is put into the game and enough funds are secured for a marketing push around that time. Indie development is a business so marketing is a significant factor here.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în Acces Timpuriu?

„The Early Access version of the game should be fully playable with some experimental features (like Offline mode). There's already a full city map with vehicles, aircraft, voice chat, jobs, weapons, items, apartments, dynamic weather, and more.

Early Access gives users a substantial discount before the full release, allows a sneak peak at incoming features, and enables community input for steering the future development. Feature upgrades are to be expected weekly throughout the Early Access period.”

Cum dorești să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„I'm making this game for the community. I have no investors, backers, or publishers - it's all for you. There is a roadmap on the official website, discussion forums, and Discord server for real-time feedback.

The userbase is the backbone of any role-playing game, and my goal is to server the players' interests in the best way possible. With your help, we can build an amazing city sandbox for the best role-playing on Steam.”
