เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“Player feedback and community involvement goes a long towards making Farmington County the best game it can be! I'm just one developer but if you look at the community posts, I have done my best to implement most player suggestions and fix all reported bugs.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“It will take around 1 year to fully implement all the core features I envision for the game, but I plan to work on the game continuously afterwards.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“Farmington County, at full version, will feature a living, breathing digital environment where farming is just the beginning. This probably sounds like hyperbole but I want to make a game that people will play and think... wow this is INSANE. I love it!

Some of my planned features:
- AI employees. Your workers can do a lot of the tasks on your farm and you can also have personal relationships with them.
- NPC relationships / romance. You will have a friendship / relationship status with NPCs which will affect actual gameplay or give you perks.
- A large, diverse map full of fun activities and discoveries.
- Seasons, which will affect farming, and will lead to new buildings and gameplay concepts.
- More ways to make money. Not just growing crops or selling lumber, but further refining your crops, investing in town businesses, selling at the farmer's market, etc.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“Farmington County is currently a full-fledged farming simulator. You can grow thousands of crops and raise hundreds of animals at once with the help of a wide array of vehicles, and develop your farm using a free-form planting and building system. You can have a massive ranch with thousands of crops and hundreds of animals all growing at the same time, or a small, relaxing farm.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“Farmington County will go up in price as it gets more features and content.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“My main reason for putting Farmington County in Early Access is so that I can have feedback from the community. To this end, I have created a twitter account that people can readily communicate with, plus a public email address.

I plan to actively involve the community in the design of the game; whether it's voting on new features, how the game should be balanced, bug detection, what to focus on, and so forth.”
