Why Early Access?

“Releasing a game on Steam in Early Access can be an effective way to receive feedback from a larger audience and make improvements to the game before its official release. This feedback can help us identify areas of the game that need improvement or tweaking and make changes based on player feedback.
Early Access can also help build a community around the game. By engaging with players during the development process, we can create a sense of excitement and anticipation around the game's release. This can lead to increased interest and word-of-mouth marketing, which can help drive sales once the game is fully released.
Finally, Early Access can help us test different marketing strategies, such as pricing and promotional efforts, to see what resonates with players. By experimenting with different approaches, we can gain insights into what works and what doesn't, which can be helpful for future game releases.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The exact length of time that a game remains in Early Access will depend on a variety of factors, such as the scope of the game and the amount of feedback received from players. We may also have specific milestones or goals we want to reach before fully releasing the game, such as implementing a certain number of features or reaching a certain level of polish.
Players can typically find information on the expected length of the Early Access period through official announcements or community forums. We may also provide regular updates on the game's progress, including any changes or updates to the expected release schedule.
Preliminary terms of finding the game in Early Access - from 2 months to a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In general, the differences between an Early Access version and a planned full version can vary depending on the our goals and the feedback received during the Early Access period.
It is planned that the full version of the game will include additional content, such as new levels, items, characters, or features, that were not available in the Early Access version. We may also use the feedback received during the Early Access period to tweak and improve the game's mechanics, performance, and balance.
Also, the planned full version may include a complete overhaul of the game's graphics or sound design, resulting in a more polished and immersive experience for players. Additionally, the full version may include a multiplayer mode, additional game modes, or a deeper story campaign.
It's important to note that the exact differences between an early access version and a planned full version can vary widely depending on game popularity. However, generally speaking, players can expect the full version to offer a more complete and polished experience with additional content and features that were not available in the Early Access version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of a game is fully completed. Early Access will allows players to experience the game in its current state and provide feedback to us.
At the moment, the gameplay is based on the passage of missions that are scattered on a schematic map of the city. In addition to the main line of missions, the player can complete additional random quests that will allow them to get additional resources for leveling up their character. The game has several characters that you can play as. Each character has its own unique features and characteristics. During the passage of missions, the player will encounter various types of zombies, as well as zombie bosses with unique abilities. The player can use an extensive arsenal of weapons, boosters and ammunition. The game also has elements of crafting and repairing items.
During the Early Access period, we will continue to work on the game, implementing changes and improvements based on player feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price of the game will increase.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“One common way to involve the community is through open communication channels, such as social media or community forums. We will use these channels to share updates on the game's progress, seek feedback on specific features or elements, and answer player questions.
Another way to involve the community is through playtesting. In Early Access players can test the game and provide feedback. This can help identify any issues or bugs that need to be addressed before the game is released.
We may also involve the community in the creation of content. For example, a game may later have a map editor or modding tools, allowing players to create their own levels, characters, or items. These community-created assets can then be added to the game, providing players with a richer and more diverse experience.
Overall, involving the community in the development of a game can help create a sense of ownership and investment among players, as well as provide valuable feedback and ideas to help make the game the best it can be.
At the moment, on all issues, complaints, sentences and ideas, the community of the game can contact us through the official Discord channel Novalink, through the feedback form on the game website, or sending an appeal by mail.”
