왜 앞서 해보기를 진행하나요?

“We have tons of mechanics in the game right now such as a diverse array of magical elements, a strategic talent and augmentation system, interesting enemy creatures, and three different game modes blending PvP and PvE elements, but we'd love to have some fresh ideas and perspectives from outside our small internal test group. We have tons of different ways we can take the game, but only so much time. We need feedback from the greater gaming community to determine the best way to utilize that time.”

얼마나 오래 앞서 해보기를 진행할 계획인가요?

“Considering Nova's current scope, we'd expect Early Access to last approximately 6-12 months. We don't intend to remain in Early Access longer than necessary.”

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“We'd love to have:
- more Talents and Augmentations to foster niche and unique playstyles.
- a larger Conquest map that supports up to 10 players.
- more maps for Deathmatch.
- more enemies, maps, and mechanics for Extraction.
- competitive integrity regarding both gameplay and matchmaking.

Feedback during Early Access will largely determine what we prioritize. Who knows? Maybe someone will come up a killer idea that trumps everything we've got planned. That would be cool!”

앞서 해보기 버전은 현재 어떤 상태인가요?

“Right now we have three main game modes: Conquest, Deathmatch, and Extraction. Conquest (PvPvE) is best described as a blend between a Battle Royale and MOBA with heavy RPG elements. Deathmatch (PvP) is classic 1v1 and 2v2 combat. Extraction (PvE) features endless waves of progressively more and more difficult enemies which grant progressively more and more powerful Augmentations.

We also have five Elements. Each Element has seven Abilities. Each Ability has at least one Talent, fundamentally changing its behavior. On top of this, we have 48 Augmentations to further enhance and personalize your playstyle.

Between these three main game modes and nearly endless combinations of Elements, Talents, and Augmentations, we believe there is PLENTY of content available.”

앞서 해보기 기간 전후로 게임 가격이 달라지나요?

“We expect Nova to be free-to-play with cosmetic microtransactions and some sort of monthly Battle Pass. Monetization would be simple without premium currencies. If the community feels strongly in favor of another monetization model, we'd be sure to consider that, too.”

개발 과정에서 어떻게 커뮤니티와 소통할 계획인가요?

“Everywhere. Does a certain Element drive you crazy? Do you have a good idea for a Talent or Augmentation? Let's talk! Join our Discord, leave a review on Steam, or start a discussion on our Steam Community page. We'd love to hear both the good and the bad. Whether you think something's cool or just dumb broken, we're sure you're not the only one. The only way to improve and to broaden our player base is to build on our strengths and address our weaknesses.

Ultimately, we want you to love Nova as much as we do. Help us help you love Nova, too. ”
