เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“The development of The Zeta Orbital is a one-man operation. I'm releasing the game through Early Access to help me collect more player feedback before release and uncover more bugs and design flaws.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“The Zeta Orbital will stay in Early Access until I'm confident that it's ready, and players have stopped reporting game-breaking bugs. I'm aiming to leave Early Access after three months of feedback (roughly March or April 2020), though as a solo developer it's notoriously hard to predict how long it will take to squash bugs and respond to feedback.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“My plans for The Zeta Orbital change based on feedback and suggestions, but I expect the full version to have essentially the same systems (survival items, world puzzles, journals, computer interfaces) but with [much] more content available for each. Where the current Early Access version contains only a handful of level generators, the full version should have enough variety that four or five full, successful playthroughs are required to encounter all content.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“The game currently features enough level variation to ensure several playthroughs without repeating content. Players can make a full exploratory dive into the Zeta Orbital and out the other side, passing through 3-5 decks with puzzles, procedurally-generated content, and a handful of storylines available along the way.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“I intend to increase the price halfway through Early Access, as the game's replayability increases with additional content. The game is cheaper at this early stage as a thank you for your support, and to hopefully find a few modders willing to contribute story mods!”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“The community drives development, especially of new storylines (journal & computer entries). I'll listen to all feedback and take on what suggestions I can. The best place to leave that feedback is on the Steam discussion forums or the Expat Pixel discord server (.

I'm only one developer, though, so there's definitely a limit to what ideas I can translate into the game, no matter how good!”
