FAQ & Price Announcement!

[p]Greetings, I hope this transmission finds you well and your goop plentiful. As your mission to Earth starts very soon, here is some important information regarding your undercover adventure. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]How much will Roadside Research cost on launch? [/p][p]The game will be 12.99 USD with a 10% launch discount. We have implemented regional pricing as well to make sure the game is affordable to everyone (Polish Złoty Brazilian Real, Chinese Yuan, and many many more).[/p][p][/p][p]What are the current customization options? [/p][p]Right now you can draw your own face mask to perfect your disguise, choose how many toes you have per foot, and your Alien skin color. We are adding some hats and additional decor very soon (and for free of course).[/p][p][/p][p]How much has changed since the demo? [/p][p]A lot! More store upgrades, more inventory to sell, new minigames when government agents come, more Alien Technology to mess with humans(!), and just a lot more tweaking and polish that is expected of simulation games.[/p][p][/p][p]How many game modes are there? [/p][p]You can play singleplayer mode, which is tailored to one player sessions. Or you can play multiplayer to have friends join to hang out and play together.[/p][p][/p][p]Can I join any lobby online?[/p][p]You can only join lobbies set up by your friends, this also means you can join the lobby of a friend of a friend. If you want to find people to play with, ask in the Steam forum or the Official Discord for the game.[/p][p][/p][p]How does Alien Technology affect gameplay?[/p][p]GlorpTech(tm) is incredibly useful for many things. You can convince customers to spend more money, you can make them more resistant to not-very-human things they might see. You can also duplicate some of your inventory for some sweet, sweet profit. Just be careful as raising too much Suspicion will bring dangerous people to the store.[/p][p][/p][p]How does suspicion work? Can customers see that I am an Alien?[/p][p]It is important to stay undetected for as long as possible. The more Alien Technology you have in the store, the more customers will become suspicious. Acting reckless will also increase Suspicion. Too high suspicion levels will lead to visits from government agents for a deeper investigation. Aliens tend to "goop" every now and again, leaving a sticky substance behind them. Make sure to clean up after yourself! [/p][p][/p][p]I don't understand how a particular mechanic works, what do I do? [/p][p]There is a "How to Play" guide in the pause menu if you're ever feeling stuck! [/p][p][/p][p]Can I test upcoming updates early? [/p][p]We will be running beta tests for future updates in our discord to ensure additional content is stable and player-approved. [/p][p][/p][p]Is there cross play from Steam to Xbox? [/p][p]Not at the moment, but we are working on it. Cross functionality across platforms takes time to implement! [/p][p][/p][p]What are the next updates? [/p][p]So glad you asked, here is the Roadside Roadmap.[/p][p][/p]
