Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«At Pahdo Labs, we believe that the best games are built with the community. Getting user feedback early and often has been a crucial part of our development process so far. The feedback we’ve received has been instrumental in shaping our game into the experience we have today, which we're now ready to share with a wider audience. In Early Access, we hope to continue partnering with our community, ensuring that player feedback plays a vital role in refining the game on the path to 1.0.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«We anticipate that Starlight Re:Volver will be in Early Access for 1-2 years. However, in order to hit our bar for quality, this timeline may extend beyond our original estimate. During Early Access, we plan to regularly update a public roadmap so you can follow along on our journey to the 1.0 release.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The Early Access version of Starlight Re:Volver offers a representative slice of the final player experience, from combat in the worlds of So Mi to character upgrades and social activities in NIM. Throughout early access, we plan to greatly expand the breadth and depth of our content, especially in NIM. This may include introducing new playable characters to master, So Mi threads to explore, and bosses to challenge. We expect to expand the size of Nishi Island Metropolis and add additional activities and systems to tie the experience together. Of course, game balance, optimization, and bugfixes will be a continuous effort through early access as well.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«Upon Early Access release, Starlight Re:Volver will feature 4 playable characters, each with their own unique kits, backstories, and voice lines. Players can explore 3 distinct So Mi threads, each with its own visual themes, enemies, and bosses. The combat system will be representative and support 4-player party play. During each dive, you'll be able to pick a combination of powerful charms that enhance your abilities and craft new weapons that can change your character's playstyle.

In addition, Early Access will introduce our first neighborhood in Nishi Island Metropolis! This area is expected to support dozens of concurrent users and offer various spots to hang out with friends, such as Kuma Cafe and Tsukino Park. In the city, we plan to offer the ability to fish, stargaze, and enjoy a variety of minigames.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«As we continue to develop and expand Starlight Re:Volver during Early Access, our game's content and value may grow significantly. To reflect these additions, we may consider raising the price at the time of the full launch. We’ll make sure to give our community a heads-up well in advance of any price changes.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«We believe in getting user feedback early and often. Throughout Early Access, we plan to provide multiple avenues for our community’s voice to be heard, including:

- An in-game button for quick feedback and bug reports
- A Discord server for game discussions
- Survey touchpoints for more detailed feedback
- Frequent TikTok and Twitter updates to keep you in the loop on our progress

A big thank you to everyone who’s already shared feedback during our early playtests. Our game is better because of you, and we’re excited to keep building it together as we head toward our full release!»
