為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Early Access will help us create a better game. We experienced this firsthand with our previous game, Turmoil, which was in Early Access for one year before its official release. The Early Access community helped us improve the game tremendously and we’re hoping the same will happen with Team Racing League.

We believe Team Racing League brings something new and refreshing to the racing genre. While we have a lot of ideas to improve and expand on the game ourselves, we want to explore what else is possible for the game, together with the Steam community. Would you like to see more game modes, new tracks or maybe new vehicles? We want your input while we continue to develop and add more content. Let's create the perfect team racing game together!」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We're not sure. Game development is unpredictable. It's done when it's done. It may take half a year, it may take a year. It may take longer. We will not release if it does not meet our quality standards. We'll do our best to improve the game, add relevant content and keep you updated on progress during Early Access.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「Based upon player feedback, we will see where new mechanics and abilities are needed and most welcome. Cosmetically we like the direction of the game, but we're sure that improvements will be made over time to the environments, the vehicles and the UI.

There are also loads of ideas for other game modes, race tracks and features that we may add. This also depends on player feedback and input. The reason we don't support local multiplayer from start is that we wanted to focus all our development capacity on a solid online multiplayer. We have a small team and aren't that experienced in multiplayer development yet, but we believe we're doing a decent job here. If the player base allows it, we might add local multiplayer and co-op multiplayer features. So spread the word and challenge your friends :-). Addendum: Local Multiplayer has been added a while ago :-)」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「The core gameplay is solid. The drifting and racing physics are intuitive, skill-based and rewarding. The available player abilities are skill-based, while still very accessible to players with less time to play. By focusing on the team aspect, we believe the Early Access launch-version of the game is fun to play for both competitive players as well as more casual players.

In single player, people can polish their skills in Training mode and Time Trial. Training is meant to explain the game's mechanics and have players experience them for the first time. While in Time Trial you can work on your racing skills, competing against your own ghost.

The online multiplayer consists of one game mode right now: 3v3 team racing. We tested this as best we can but the real testing (technical and gameplay) will start when we enter Early Access. Please be gentle with us, but be straight and fair. We like to hear what you enjoy about the game, but also what you don't enjoy, so we can learn from our mistakes and improve and polish your experience. Help us deliver the best and most fun racing game you can imagine!」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「During Early Access, it will be very unlikely that we'll change the price of the game. Changes to this policy may however occur if there are unforeseen costs or gains, or if the product we have in mind changes dramatically. Whether the price will be different at full release will depend on the development of the game during Early Access.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「We have a clear direction for this game in mind, but we are eager to hear if the community thinks this is the right way to go. We’ll keep a very close eye on the forum and will try to respond as clearly as possible to all questions and suggestions from the players. Do you like the game and its mechanics? Do you agree with the balancing of the game? Would you like to see other game modes or changes to the current one?

We will be introducing new features and content along the way, and will listen to what players want and think of our ideas. We hope that our vision and your input will merge for a great end result. 1+1=3.

Besides adding new stuff, there’s of course also the technical side of maintaining and dealing with an online multiplayer game. The team is small and our experience in online multiplayer isn't very rich, so please keep that in mind when the game doesn't meet your expectations. Let us know what we can improve and we promise to at least respond to your request. We’re aiming for a smooth multiplayer experience and will try to keep improving the game without adding bugs.

"...without adding bugs." Who are we kidding ;) Thanks for reading up to this point and if you are interested, bugs will definitely be part of the Early Access experience.」
