Porquê Acesso Antecipado?

"The Video Game Machine has lots of untapped potential, so it's important to have players - like yourself - giving honest feedback and suggestions throughout development.

• What's fun? What's not? Any speeling errors?
• Do the different genres feel good?
• Are we providing the tools you want?
• Are we providing the hats you want?
• What needs polished? What needs added? What bugs need to be fixed?

Aproximadamente durante quanto tempo vai este produto estar em Acesso Antecipado?

"I see this as being a 18 month project with an additional 6 months of polish, so VGM should be in early access for 2 years.

However, since you can currently create, play, and share game files, this pre-release version of VGM should already be enjoyable. An extra long development cycle ensures we have the time to make v1.0 amazing!"

Qual vai ser a diferença entre a versão final e a versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"There are several features and content that we'd like to add over the course of Early Access:

• Story Driven Campaign
  
• New Genres
  
• New Heroes, Environments, Enemies, and Items
  
• New Music
  
• Full Workshop Support

"

Qual é o estado atual da versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"VGM is just over the half-way mark (v0.6) with the core features in and working:

• VGM will use template levels to create a game for you.
  
• Pick from 3 different genres - Sidescroller, Top-Down Adventure, and Runner.
  
• A powerful editor gives you full creative control of level design.
  
• An extensive rulebook lets you toggle features: from Double-Jump to Camera Rules to World Maps.
  
• Games are saved in a lightweight XML file, easy for sharing!
  
• Hundreds of heroes, items, weapons, enemies, music tracks, and environments to make use of.

O jogo vai ter preços diferentes durante e depois do Acesso Antecipado?

"Price will not change once VGM leaves Early Access."

Como estão a planear incluir a comunidade durante o processo de desenvolvimento?

"Game development is best when done as a team, and I consider all Early Access players a part of that team. Here are some of the ways players will be involved...

• Suggesting new Content: This includes heroes, enemies, items, weapons, and features.
  
• Creating Levels: There are many places where player-generated content can be used directly in the final game.
  
• Feedback Sessions: I look forward to open-ended community threads where players give feedback on any anything and everything. I'll do my best to communicate with players to discuss my prioritization methodology for bugs, content, and features.

Nothing like a healthy dose of player feedback and community collaboration to ensure VGM reaches its full potential!"
