So, news just in: CD-Project Red is working on a project which should show any future titles using early access model how to treat their customers. The underlying thought is "Don't pay us to test our game!" - to elaborate, yes, it means that during the entire period of Early Access, the only currency players have to pay for the product is feedback and bug reports - as a matter of fact, you can already get the game for free!
So, what is this game, or project, that I keep mentioning? I'll just sum it up in the words of Cd-Project themselves:
"A challenging adventure game that will captivate with clever puzzles and thrilling environments."
Yes, that's right, CDP is working on a fantasy adventure game, closely following old-school design of games like classic Lucas Arts adventure games - just with a renewed graphics coating. Well, the latter is not true as of yet - until the project's reveal, CDP has actually managed to create the entire plot, puzzles and environments already, but only in so-called "retro mode" - this allowed developers to focus on core gameplay instead of dealing with complex UI and graphical issues. Due to the old-school focus of the game, retro-mode is very much going to remain in the final product, but here's where the early access part kicks in - CDP will continually update the engine and add new features to it, slowly polishing the game up and open it to a wider audience, with the final goal of releasing a full-fledged, paid product.
That's enough hype I think, you guys would like some proper links to the product itself, don't you? All right, that's fine. You can download the current version of the game over here. I imagine updates are going to be a bitch tho.
