为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“We're a small team of 10 people and we are very realistic about our resources versus our ambitions with Overstep.

Early Access is the perfect opportunity to provide a fun game the moment the team is happy with the core mechanics. While we have a clear vision for the game, players will always see Overstep from a different and refreshing perspective. Through building the community and setting up a convenient feedback loop, Early Access allows us to discuss updates, new features and listen to your feedback to create a game we can all play for an enternity.

The core mechanic of Overstep is acrobatic movement and winning through entertaining the crowd. The other main element is combat. Taking time to make sure every new feature compliments what’s there already, will let us thoughtfully and consistently deliver great content.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“We have not set a due date for Overstep to leave Early Access. It’s important to us that the game fully launches in a state that respects both the original vision and feedback from your Early Access experiences.

That said, we're planning a full launch in roughly 24 months from the Early Access launch, in November 2021.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The Early Access version is all about the core experience and fun, fun, fun! That said, there are a number of features that we have designed and plan to add to the game. Some of them are:

- Game of the week
- Highlight of the match
- New maps
- New game modes
- New combat mechanics (i.e. ability system)
- Pickups around the levels
- Leaderboards

The Early Access features:
One main game mode - one more planned through-out Early Access
One gameplay level - a few more planned through-out Early Access
Both freerunning and combat mechanics”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“For Early Access, the core gameplay experience is fully implemented and will continue being polished. We are keeping a close eye on what affects the replayability of Overstep the most, making sure every new match is as least as much fun as the last one.

Early Access Features:
- 3 versus 3 multiplayer
- Practice mode
- One playable level
- One robot model with options for customisation
- One main Overstep game mode
- Freerunning movement mechanics
- Combat system with hitscan and projectile weapons
- In-game cosmetic purchases”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“If you decide to support the development of the game and make an in-game purchase, you will definitely get to keep everything when we go into full launch.

We don't plan to change the price of the in-game currency when moving from Early-Access to full release.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Our dream for Overstep is for it to become a competitive game, with a vast professional scene. To reach that goal, it’s critical to involve the community through the following discussions:

• Gameplay balance
  
• 
  
• Suggestions and ideas
  
• 
  
• Bug finding

Our main channel to talk with the community is on Discord: discord.gg/Overstep
The secondary channel is our subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overstep/
We will also start specific game mechanics discussions on Steam.”
