正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「In the full version of Barbarossa, we have exciting plans to expand upon the features and content available in the Early Access version. While the Early Access version will provide players with a solid foundation to embark on their adventures, the full version will offer a more comprehensive and immersive experience.

Here are some key areas where the full version of Barbarossa is planned to differ from the Early Access version:

Expanded Gameplay: We intend to introduce new gameplay mechanics, activities, and quests to enhance the overall depth and variety of the pirate experience.

Enhanced World: The full version will introduce new islands and territories for players to explore. These areas will offer unique landscapes, environments, and inhabitants, providing a richer and more diverse open world for players to conquer and navigate.

More Ships, Upgrades, and Crew Options: Players can expect a wider selection of ships, upgrades, and crew members to choose from in the full version. This will allow for greater customization and strategic decision-making, enabling players to tailor their fleet and crew to their preferred playstyle.

Polished Visuals and Audio: We are dedicated to further improving the game's visual and audio elements to create a more immersive and captivating atmosphere. From stunning seascapes and detailed ship models to immersive sound effects and an engaging soundtrack, the full version will aim to deliver a more polished and visually impressive experience.

Balancing and Optimization: The Early Access phase will provides us with valuable player feedback that we will utilize to fine-tune and optimize various aspects of the game. We will address any reported bugs, improve game balance, and ensure a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay experience for the full release.

It's important to note that the exact features and changes in the full version may evolve based on community feedback and our own development roadmap. We are committed to actively listening to our community and taking their opinions into consideration as we work towards creating the best possible version of Barbarossa for its official release on Steam.」
