為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Initially I made this software in my spare time as there was nothing out there that could simulate paintball like I wanted. I will keep continuing to develop this as time allows but returning to full-time work will limit the time I can spent it.
With such a huge response to the inital gameplay videos I shared on my social media, I wanted to make it available as soon as it was usable. Now I'm at that stage, players can start getting use of this software while other development continues in the background.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「As this is a background project, there's no definitive date for this to be finished. As well as that, new features are always being suggested by the community so I don't want to confirm a finish date as these features will continuously be added as I get the opportunity.
I'd suggest you base your purchase on how the software looks now, rather than how it might look in the future as the progress will be slow. Essentially it could be assessed as a finished product as it works as intended, but I'd like to keep adding features before I decide it's actually complete.
I would love to have most features implemented and complete by mid 2021, but that will be very dependant on both the level of support and whether I can find the right people to join the team and polish it up to a finished product.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「Grit Paintball is currently SINGLE PLAYER ONLY, with no AI or enemies, and is designed as a training aid for tournament paintball players.

Currently it has a functional field builder with the 2022 NXL bunker set which allows players to build their own layouts or replicate others. These layouts are saved as a simple text file which can be saved, and then sent and received (outside of the game) to other players. This is all done without the VR headset with a mouse and keyboard for ease of use.
You can also add as many targets as you'd like into the layout.

The menu allows for adjustability of the in-game experience, letting the player set the firing mode (Uncapped, Capped Semi, Ramp, or Full Auto), Max/Target Rate of Fire, Paintball colour, Paint Breakage percentage (to practice bouncing paint off bunkers), and whether the player has unlimited ammo or needs to hit the reload button to fill up their loader.
You can also save your own controller or tracker position preferences, allowing the player to get their grip feeling just right.

Once you hit play, you chuck on your HMD and you're on the ground in the field you've created, with bunkers and targets laid out where you've built them. You can then teleport around the field to look at the layout from a players perspective and analyse it how you would during a field walk.

One VR Controller / Vive Tracker is all you need to bring up a trackable gun, which fires with the trigger input. You can shoot paintballs at the targets which will change colour and play audio on contact, or splat onto the ground, bunkers or netting.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「I don't plan on changing the price once the game is complete.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「So far, the feedback from social media has already shaped some of the development decisions and I'm hoping to get as much feedback as possible because it's an experience made for the players. The easiest way to get in touch is at my Facebook page - www.facebook.com/dbcustomworks」
