Affliction,
That's right, Affliction has been approved for Early Access! Like our previous games, we plan to take full advantage of this time to gather feedback and support to make another amazing title with the help of the community!
The release date for EA is yet to be determined. We'll continue to keep everyone posted and we'll release the first public build when we feel that it is ready.
Why Early Access?
“We believe that Early Access is a great way to incorporate community input and build community interest.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? :Aflashlight:
“Development time will depend on numerous factors such as community requests and feedback, additions to the game, improvements on the engine, and many more. To give a rough estimate, it will be in development for another several months. We have high hopes and a lot of plans for the project. It's been under development for a long time already and we've made great progress during that time. We will continue to do so in order to build the best possible game that we can, and we'd like to involve the community as much as possible.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? :Amagazine:
“Our goal is to create a great game that will provide hours of entertainment. As with our previous titles, we strive to deliver polished, bug free, and enjoyable gameplay experiences.
The finished build of the game will feature a full storyline, several maps, dozens of enemies, multiple different weapons, new items, more variety in graphics and areas, and an abundance of playtime.
The plan for patches and updates is to release regular updates that will solve issues, fix bugs, and add new features to the game. When we hear of a bug or problem, we'll do everything we can to fix it and deliver a patch as soon as possible. Players are asked to tell us of bugs or issues they're having on the Steam community forums.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version? :Arifle:
“The current version of the game is still in the Alpha phase of development. We're still designing the levels, story, and many of the gameplay features. We have a roadmap which is available for viewing on the community hub to show our current plans, but we would like the players and the community to have a say about what we put into the game.
There are currently a few levels to play, multiple weapons to use, items to find, numerous different enemy types to fight, and a lot of room for further ideas and improvement.
There will be bugs and unfinished features in this version. There will also be instances where starting over from the beginning will be necessary. Please do not purchase the game at this time if you are not willing to deal with issues like listed above.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? :Abandages:
“The plan is to have the price of the game directly reflect the amount of content and how polished it is. The price will not change often but it will change when it enters the last stages of development and upon release. During Early Access, the game will be priced much cheaper. This serves as a thank you to early purchasers for pledging their support and our way of putting a fair price on the amount of content received for the money paid.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? :Asyringe:
“We will be focusing on interacting with the community over the Steam community forums. There, we can gather community feedback and discuss ideas to improve the game. We believe that the best games are created when those playing the game have a say about what is added or modified.”
