왜 앞서 해보기를 진행하나요?

“FortressCraft Phoenix is a growing, live game with potentially many years of development planned. What is released on day 1 will not reflect what is available after a year or ten years of development. Once all of the ideas on the public design documents are implemented, stable and polished, the game will leave Early Access.”

얼마나 오래 앞서 해보기를 진행할 계획인가요?

“Until it's polished, bug-free and ready. I'll guess at least 3 years!”

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“The Early Access version will have progression gaps and unbalanced gameplay elements. The plan is to improve these with community feedback before leaving Early Access.

The initial release should contain the complete gameplay from initial base setup to destruction of the overminds, a task that's about 100 hours of gameplay. Frozen Factory, Toxic Tekworks and Magma Mines will come in as development continues, finishing up with space-based gameplay.”

앞서 해보기 버전은 현재 어떤 상태인가요?

“Currently, the game is fully playable from the initial base build until Chapter 10, which is the destruction of the Overminds, taking around 100 hours. The Frozen Factory will be locked off initially, until the surface gameplay is polished up. Right now, all of the new Phoenix multiblock machines are working, survival, building, logistics, manufacturing, freight, rooms and resin handling gameplay are fully-working, but some assets may be placeholder, and gameplay may be unbalanced, and render performance may be lacking in certain areas.”

앞서 해보기 기간 전후로 게임 가격이 달라지나요?

“The price is expected to stay the same over the course of the game's lifespan.”

개발 과정에서 어떻게 커뮤니티와 소통할 계획인가요?

“I am the most approachable developer on the internet. FortressCraft has always, and will continue to, support, champion and implement community feedback. There's a specific achievement available if you use a feature that was suggested by the community!

I'm available on BlueSky, Facebook, etc, but the best place, as always, is our wonderful Discord!”
