เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“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.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“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.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

• Damage & Auto-Repair feature to buildings
  
• Vehicle based transportation system
  
• Integration with Steam APIs, including in-app payments & leaderboards

”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“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.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“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.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“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.”
