เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“We want to communicate with users and receive lots of feedback in order to polish up the final product. We had an early access for Touhou Luna Nights, which was very successful, so we would like to try the same process this time as well.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“This title is a completely solo project, from the graphics and music to the programming, so there is currently no exact timeline for when the game will be completed. However the developer is aiming to have it completed within 1~2 years.
It may take some time, but the goal is to bring you a polished title with a beautifully realized Gensokyo, all of your favorite Touhou characters and truly entertaining features.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“The full release will have all the boss stages. The level design has also been adjusted and has been designed taking the whole game into account. The early access version was designed to allow quick access to battles and exploration.

We are planning for there to be 6 stages in total. Release will be after we have developed the final stage and boss and the game can be cleared normally.

Based on user feedback we are planning the following updates:

・Additional playable characters.
・Around 10 additional close combat skills.
・Adjustments to ranged attacks.
・A new EXP. system allowing players to choose which stats to increase.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“While the full game will have 6 stages, the current early access version is just the first stage. The other 5 stages will have new game mechanics, enemies and a complete cast of bosses.

Currently the only playable character is the main character Suika. We are planning to add other characters to the roster so players can choose their favorite to play with. There are also plans to add new moves to use in combat and an experience point system that can be used to raise a character’s stats.

The early access version gives access to a lot of skills from the start in order for users to have an idea on what kind of skills are available. In the full release skills will be unlocked and upgraded gradually as you progress through the game.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“Taking into account the volume of additional content compared to the early access version, the price is likely to be set at 1.5~2 times the current price.”
