เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“We're veteran indie creators, and we know how to release quality games even on no budget at all. But this time we want to do things a little differently. With Zone, we want to take our time, put player experience first, and involve the community in its development. We want your help and feedback in making something you want to play.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“We're expecting approx. 1 year of further development after our initial EA launch to reach our vision for the game.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“We've got a lot of exciting ideas for great new features, as well as expanding the ones we already have. Some of our potential goals include:

• Many more items, cards, and abilities
  
• Character creation, custom avatars
  
• More survival elements
  
• Potentially, paper-doll sprites that reflect your outfit

However, our focus will always be on the core gameplay -- keeping it fun, and our scope realistic. Finishing the game is more important than nice extra bits.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“The core gameplay loop and first chapter of the story are done. Finished features include:

• Full navigation of the environment with all its dangers
  
• 3 biomes to explore
  
• Hours of gripping story and exciting side-quests
  
• Encounters with 25+ fully-animated enemies and bosses
  
• Card battles with various different cards and animated abilities
  
• Full inventory and loot management
  
• Dozens of different items with which to build your deck
  
• Branching dialogue with multiple important NPCs

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features, reflecting the state and progress of the game.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“The players are the most important part of a game. More than just bug reports, we want to actively involve everyone, listen to your ideas and recommendations, and even incorporate community-made content.

We plan to maintain active Steam forums and a Discord server to communicate with players. Expect things like polls to decide which features we should focus on next, contests for people to submit ideas for new items and anomalies, and our designers working closely with the community to balance the gameplay for maximum fun.”
