为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“The game (including its persistent universe) has been released on our platform and is being played for more than a year. As for a MMO game, we plan to continuously add new content and incorporate player feedback throughout its life, but some important elements are still needed in order to balance the economy even in its current state.

In particular, for some of the in-game items, there are only producers, or only consumers, leading to global market imbalances and requiring price interventions from us. For example, there is no producing building for shields (blacksmith makes only swords for now), and the prices tend to grow constantly until we reset them, affecting any long term strategic planning that a player may employ.

We want to keep the game in Early Access until we close the economic loops for the currently available in-game items (see bellow for a list of features). The result should be a fully balanced supply / demand player driven economy, which sits at the core of Cave to Kingdom's concept.

After exiting Early Access we will continue to add more content as mentioned, but we will release producers & consumers at the same time, in order to keep the game balanced at all times.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“We will bring the game out of early access when we will close the economic loop for building materials and for war equipment. This should happen before or during Q2 of 2020.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“

• Blacksmith upgrades to produce Shields, Chain Mail, etc.
  
• Mine building to produce Iron Ore and consume Logs
  
• Foundry building to produce Steel Bars out of Iron Ore and Charcoal
  
• Damage & Auto-Repair feature to buildings
  
• Vehicle based transportation system
  
• Integration with Steam APIs, including in-app payments & leaderboards

”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The game is fully playable and contains all the features that are mentioned in the description, and more. We do lack proper documentation for now, as our main communication channel has been through release announcements and change logs.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“In-app prices will not change due to exiting Early Access on Steam. Our general policy has been to gradually decrease building license prices as we released more buildings, and we plan to continue using it.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We will very carefully consider all feedback received from Steam users. Although we do have our own website and forums, our moderators will also interact with the players on the Steam Community pages.”
