Почему ранний доступ?

«[Novice Dungeon Master] was initially conceived and developed as a single-player package game. Typically, single-player package games have endings, and once players complete them and experience most of the content, they usually finish the game and keep it as a memory.

We want to provide the best possible experience for that one playthrough. While the definition of the best gaming experience may vary from person to person, we believe that for the best gameplay, a game should be complete, bug-free, and have an intended beginning and end.

We're currently working towards that goal, but we need some time and feedback for completion, which led us to consider Early Access. Through our demo, we've been able to verify the core fun of the game. What remains is adding planned content, testing, and putting the final touches on the game.

We're not far from that goal, and we want to reach it through Early Access. Most of our main systems are already complete. While we wanted to take more time and release it as a full version, we decided to go with Early Access to show a more polished product and because we felt it was okay to share the current state with those waiting.»
