What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I've been working on 3dSen since 2015. It always was and still is a challenging but joyful adventure to me. So I truly believe that the best way to break the current limits, create more innovative experiences is going with the community. We will do it together!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The length of the Early Access campaign will greatly depend on the reception and feedback from the community and the growth of supported game database.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I'm still figuring out how First Person View should be implemented. Different render methods should also be considered, things like curved space or sub voxel rendering. About the emulation aspect, rollback and fast forward features should be added. Last but not least much more new games should be supported in 3D mode.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to the "About This" section to know all the details of contents and features currently implemented in 3dSen.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of 3dSen may change after Early Access, depending on community feedback and the amount of content added during development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I listen to the community closely and I appreciate all your feedback. In the future, I would like to be even closer to the community. Please, keep sharing your thoughts and feedback with me – it's super important for the future of the 3dSen.”
