¿Por qué acceso anticipado?

«Project Skylab 2 is currently in the Alpha phase of development and still needs some work before completed. I want to be upfront and honest with gamers that the game still has some technical issues/bugs, but that I am working hard to resolve them. I want to gather more community feedback before releasing the final game. I am a college student and the sole developer of this game. I want to make learning math more fun and interactive. I have limited financial, and human resources which is the reason development is taking a longer duration of time.»

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de acceso anticipado?

«Project Skylab 2 is in the Alpha phase of development. The core gameplay mechanics are working perfectly, such as the character's body movement, character combat/weapons, and character animations. The game's driving mechanics are also working perfectly. The AI enemies are around 90% complete, with some enemies forgetting you are standing right in front of them, but this glitch rarely occurs. Character footsteps and background music are currently absent due to technical issues, but these issues in no way affect gameplay. Occasionally there are minor glitches, but I have done extensive testing to prevent major glitches, such as if the game would crash. Currently, the most significant problem I am working on fixing is when the character dies. As of now, the player will have to load a manual/quick savegame to respond. I am working hard on resolving this issue. As of now, the only data being saved is the character's location. I created systems that work around this issue, such as if the player unlocks a door, creates a save game on the opposite side of the door, and loads back in at that location. In this situation, the player can use the computer terminal that does not require a passcode since he or she already unlocked the door. This solution works very well.»

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

«Implementing user suggestions into the game if technically possible. Community feedback is essential to what I am trying to accomplish. I have learned so much from community feedback on my first game, Project Skylab.»
