为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Feedback and validation that we're on the right track, and customer metrics! Our game just exited its first beta stage, and we are ready to cast a wider net to include our customer base in the continued development of Ilysia. We are really looking forward to the feedback from the public of fans in a wider audience than small private testing in order to deliver the product we are working towards. EA is critical to make sure the design and functional implementation of what we are making and think people will enjoy is correct or if it needs to be adjusted.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“Our goal is to have Ilysia in Early Access for a bit over a year- we are targeting the December 2024 holiday period, which we believe will be enough time to validate our design, make the adjustments we need, and use the formula to expand the content to Release levels.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“We plan for the full version of Ilysia to include a launch-worthy level cap, a much larger world, more dungeons, more professions, improved and new features, more playable races, and more social VR elements you'd expect from a Release build of an MMORPG.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“Our current internal EA build is not a quick demo - it features 4 playable races in two opposing factions, the first 15 levels of character progression, 4 skill trees, 3 dungeons with different design mechanics, and a sizeable world to explore with tons of quests spanning different types we're testing out. All told, it's roughly the first 20-30 hours of content outside of socializing to showcase a small vertical slice of the features we're working on for Release. Getting feedback on what is working and not working design-wise from the public is crucial to our success, and EA can provide.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Our early access pricing will reflect that we are in EA and not a finished product. It will be half the price or less than the full release price.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Engagement is king. We currently engage with our fan base on Discord and have 11K+ members listening and engaging. We hold 'tavern talks' with our development team and the community to discuss the game, and have an active community manager on staff. Additionally, we would like to involve the Steam forums in updates, as well. Our website also will continue to display dev updates and, during EA will feature Roadmaps, public bug reporting forms, and patch notes for people to see progress.”
