为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“The structure of the Zooconomy fits the Early Access format very well, and the Early Access itself will allow us to complete the development of the game along with players. We not only want to tune the balance of the game, but also add content which players want. This primarily concerns animals and zoos themselves.

During Early Access, we will be adding new content, as well as making major updates with new mechanics. For example, in one of the first such updates we want to add Research mechanic - option to study regular and extinct animals.”

It will also be possible to create a sandbox game and play with any available zoo. Initially, there will be a limited set of parameters that can be configured, but with future patches the number of parameters will be increased.

Animals and zoos
At the start, 110 animals and 80 zoos will be available

Languages
Right now game is available in English and Russian.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Yes, the base price will be probably increased.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We plan actively involve the community in the development, because this was one of the key factors in going into Early Access. The most important thing is player feedback, their wishes and ideas. We will try our best to take into account every message, but of course, we will not be able to fulfill absolutely all the wishes of the players.

Players will also be able to vote and suggest which animals and zoos to add to the game. We plan to collect all this in all possible types of communication: forum on Steam, Twitter, Discord and via emails.”
