早期アクセスにした理由

“We're huge fans of bridge-builders and physics based simulation games, and our main intention during development was to create a gaming experience that would satisfy players we share this passion with.

At the core of Poly Bridge is the Sandbox, which is what we used to create the levels of the game, and what we hope will ultimately be the tool that you will use to tinker with the game's mechanics, explore new directions that we hadn't even thought of and share your creations with everyone.

To do so we believe the best course of action is to release a fully-featured game with the single player Campaign, while keeping the Sandbox and community features of the game open enough to allow integrating feedback, feature requests and suggestions from players who enjoy the game.”

“The plan is to transition to full release in September 2015.
With that said, plans do change and scopes get bigger, but we do promise to keep you informed all the way along.

If you would like to follow development more closely, a good place to start is our public Roadmap: https://trello.com/b/9IS3LKpk/poly-bridge-roadmap”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“The full version of Poly Bridge will differ from Early Access by having:

• More content, more Campaign worlds and levels, more polish, more vehicles, fewer bugs!
  
• Final Sandbox and Steam Workshop integration
  
• Community suggested features and requests

We'll work hard to deliver the most polished and fun bridge-building game you've ever seen, while also staying flexible enough to bring on feature request and suggestions from players.

The largest piece of work that will change is the Sandbox mode, which is the main reason we chose to do Early Access.

With your help, and the help of the rest of the community, we hope to deliver a Sandbox mode with all the tools & toys you could dream of, allowing you and us to create endless amounts of puzzles and content for everyone to enjoy and be challenged by.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The current Early Access version features the majority of the single-player campaign mode, as well as a beta of the Sandbox, including submitting and downloading extra levels in the Steam Workshop.
The social sharing features of animated GIF replays are there, as well as the ability to give us feedback in-game at any point.

More levels and worlds are also being added to the single-player Campaign mode, and we're aiming to deliver loads of different levels, worlds and vehicles for players to explore.

Please keep in mind the Sandbox is heavily under development, which means that any Sandbox layouts you save and/or submit to the Workshop might break as work progresses on the Sandbox and level sharing features.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“Considering the advanced stage of development, and to be fair to past, present and future players of Poly Bridge, pricing before and after Early Access will not change.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“You and the community will be at the very heart of Poly Bridge during Early Access.

Our public Roadmap is here: https://trello.com/b/9IS3LKpk/poly-bridge-roadmap

At any point in-game, you can access the Feedback menu from the top-left, which allows you to send us a message, optionally attaching a screenshot.
Your feedback is then added to the online Poly Bridge Feedback System, a public portal for everyone to see what suggestions and bug reports are coming in.

We're hoping that this system will encourage consistent feedback from players, as it doesn't require ever leaving the game and provides us with as much information as possible.

We will also of course be active in the community groups, on various social media (Twitter, Reddit) and we can always be reached via email at any point.”
