为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“This collection of retro inspired games, have reached a stage of development. Despite lacking some of their intended features. Can be played to some level of enjoyment, by the gaming public. This will allow me to receive feedback on current state of build. Allowing me to refine game mechanics as I polish and add features / game assets.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“I'd like to think that I should be able to implement all remaining game mechanics, features and assets within 12 months. If I can control expected feature creep, especially if I receive feedback and ideas from the gaming community.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The games will essentially stay the same as they are now. Just feature and asset complete.

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“No difference to price after early access. The price is set in stone. No matter how much is added to final build.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“I will create an editor for Retroa Retroa Builda, either online or stand alone. To allow easier submission of user created levels, as I may include 20 community created levels to the games levels selector.”
