Varför Early Access?

“Bloodland is being developed as a passion project. While current player feedback has been great, it takes some stress testing to ensure an online multiplayer game can perform as intended. Bloodland has proven to provide a great matchmaking experience, but has not been tested under heavy network traffic. The plan is to not keep the game in Early Access for very long, but the window will provide some time to test matchmaking and to edit/ add content as the players see fit! The game's roadmap can be discussed on the discord channel.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“The plan for Bloodland is to have a brief period of early access, roughly 2-6 months. The main purpose of releasing in early access is to ensure quality matchmaking logic and to balance game-play. We intend that players will report some bugs and this early access period provides a chance to provide polish to gameplay.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The early access version of Bloodland will contain all of the major features the final product will have. The plan for the full version of the game is to improve matchmaking logic, implement some additional unlockable content, and possibly an additional objective based game mode. These additions are subject to change and based on player feedback.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The current state of the game is very playable. The game's core mechanics are nearly entirely finished but lacking polish and balancing.

-Spell-casting based PVP matchmaking
-Ability to browse servers to join friends
-Account management
-5 Playable 'Roles'
-Many passive abilities, staves, and aesthetic options to customize your character
-In game text chat
-In game options/ preferences for Graphics, Audio, and UI
-Challenges that award item unlocks
-Performance stats tracking”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“No. This game will always be free to play.”
