为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Deadly Land was originally launched to build a community-driven zombie survival experience. After a period of quiet development, the game is now entering its most ambitious phase yet: The Rebirth Update (2.0).

I have decided to keep the game in Early Access because this 'Rebirth' is a fundamental overhaul of every core system—from a brand-new main menu and dynamic weather to a deep weapon loadout system and completely remade animations.

Early Access allows me to:

Gather Feedback on New Mechanics: The new Loadout and customization systems are designed for long-term replayability, and player input is vital to balancing these features.

Test Technical Stability: With the introduction of dynamic weather and improved lighting, I need to ensure the game runs smoothly across various hardware configurations.

Rebuild with the Community: I want to be transparent about the transition from the 'Classic' version to the 'Rebirth' version, ensuring that those who supported the game early on are part of its evolution into a modern survival title.

By purchasing during Early Access, you are directly supporting the development of the 2.0 update and will receive all future content at no additional cost.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“The 'Rebirth' of Deadly Land is a massive undertaking, as I am essentially rebuilding the game from the ground up. My current goal is to keep the game in Early Access until the 2.0 update is fully stabilized and all core features—such as the new Loadout system, the overhauled map, and refined combat mechanics—are polished to a high standard.

I anticipate that the game will remain in Early Access for at least another 12 to 18 months to ensure enough time for community testing and balancing of the new systems. However, the 'Rebirth' update itself will be released as soon as the core systems are ready for public play.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The full version of Deadly Land will be a complete evolution of the original concept, centered around the Rebirth (2.0) architecture.

Key differences include:

A Completely New Map: The final version will feature a much larger, more detailed world with varied environments, optimized for the new lighting and weather systems.

Advanced Loadout & Progression: While the Early Access version focuses on core combat, the full release will include a deep progression system where players can unlock and master a vast array of weapon attachments, skins, and gear.

Polished Gameplay Mechanics: Expect significantly more fluid character movement, refined AI behavior, and a more tactical melee combat system compared to the legacy version.

Dynamic World Events: The full version is planned to integrate the weather system directly into the gameplay, where storms and day/night cycles actively change zombie behavior and survival strategies.

Enhanced Audio-Visual Experience: A complete overhaul of sound effects and 3D models to ensure a modern, high-quality survival atmosphere.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The current version of Deadly Land is fully playable and features the original 'Classic' survival experience, focused on intense wave-based combat.

Please be aware that the game is currently in a major transition phase. While the Classic version is available, my primary development focus has shifted entirely to the upcoming Rebirth (2.0) Update.

As seen in our latest previews, the 2.0 version is already showing significant progress in the following areas:

New Main Menu & Lobby: The entire user interface and lobby system have been rebuilt for a modern and fluid experience.

Visual Systems: Dynamic weather and the new lighting engine are already functional in the development build and greatly enhance the atmosphere.

Loadout System: The new weapon customization and loadout system is already implemented and functional, currently undergoing final optimization and fine-tuning for the best possible feel.

By joining now, you get immediate access to the stable Classic version and a front-row seat to the development of the 2.0 overhaul.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Yes. As I introduce the massive content and technical overhauls of the Rebirth (2.0) update, the price will likely increase to reflect the higher quality and expanded scope of the game. Early adopters who purchase the game now will get the 'Classic' version immediately and will receive the full 2.0 update and all future Early Access content at no additional cost. By joining now, you are securing the lowest possible price while directly supporting the development of the new era of Deadly Land.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Involving the community is very important to me. So the players themselves can contribute their experiences and contribute their part to the development. I always try to come up with suggestions, ideas and bug reports.

Reports on bugs can be made via Steam in the Discussions section or via E-Mail: fedja@schmidt06.de”
